Energy Star


To help you save energy and money and make a difference for the environment, the Harry G. Barr Company is proud to offer you ENERGY STAR qualified windows that save energy and help protect the environment.

What is ENERGY STAR?

Products that earn the ENERGY STAR use less energy and prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, the Harry G. Barr Co. is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.

To meet the demands of the different climates in our country, it was divided into four regions. The 4 Climate Zones for ENERGY STAR qualified windows are:

  • Northern: mostly heating
  • North/Central: heating and cooling
  • South/Central: cooling and heating
  • Southern: mostly cooling

In a climate where mostly heating is required a window with the lowest U-value would be most beneficial. In the central regions of our country we require both heating and cooling. In these areas it's important to have a window that not only has a low U-value but also provides protection from solar heat gain.

Many Harry G. Barr products with Low-e glass and High Performance Glass options are ENERGY STAR qualified. See our ENERGY STAR qualified products here.
