What does NFRC Certification mean? As we said in the Press release the NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) is a non-profit organization, that administers the only uniform, independent rating and labeling system for the energy performance of windows, doors, skylights, and attachment products. NFRC Certification is a standard against which fenestration products can be compared in terms of energy efficiency.
What it means to the consumer is that there is a single organization (and thus database) that tests windows and doors and verifies what their performance is when it comes to energy conservation. The look at things like how much heat is transfered through the frame and the glass (known in the business as Uvalue) The lower the Uvalue the more energy efficient the window and door is.
