Centennial Windows Named Canadian ENERGY STAR® Manufacturer of the Year

Centennial Windows, a London, Ontario based manufacturer and installer of replacement windows, has been named Canadian ENERGY STAR® Manufacturer of the Year. President, Terry Lee received the award on behalf of the company. The award was presented in Montreal by Neil MacLeod, director general, Office of Energy Efficiency, Natural Resources Canada (NRC).

"We are truly honored by this recognition, particularly because of the fact that competition for the award is amongst all categories of energy efficient products, not just windows," said Lee. "This award signifies how important our ENERGY STAR qualified replacement windows have become in Canada's overall effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

When the NRC announced in May 2003 that criteria had been developed to allow the ENERGY STAR label to be used on windows and sliding glass doors in Canada, Centennial Windows was first in line to have its products qualified.

During the awards presentation, MacLeod also pointed out that Centennial Windows was one of the earliest companies in North America to offer low-E coatings and argon gas fill in its products. Additionally, its products were the first to carry the Canadian Standards Association certification label for windows.
