Energy efficiency equals money saved on monthly bills by homeowners. One way to make your home keep your energy usage down is to install an EnergyStar-rated door. One company, ProVia, has made it even easier to choose a door with this rating.
In fact, the US Environmental Protection Agency has named them the Energy Star partner of the year.
How Did They Do It?
ProVia was given this honor because of several positive courses of action taken over 2012.
Availability
Because making sure the environment is so important to so many people, they’ve increased the number of energy efficiency packages by 7.4%.
Foam Insulation
Patio doors are often a culprit for energy loss, which is why ProVia has started using a new method for their vinyl sliding glass doors. Their WX9600 now has the new technology foam filling insulation to make them more efficient.
Knowledgeable Installers
Proper installation and sealing maximizes the energy efficiency of doors and windows. Because of this, ProVia made it a point to contract with people who are proficient in the installation process.
Education
One of the most important ways to make sure you live as green a lifestyle as possible is to educate yourself on how to do so. ProVia is taking this educational process a step further by launching a program to give kids information on how to live with the environment in mind.
Recycling
When their entry doors have slabs with an opening cut, they don’t throw out the left over steel. Instead, they send it back to the manufacturer to be reused in other products, thus cutting their manufacturing waste down.
This company has gone above and beyond average expectations for energy efficiency. By combining education, knowledgeable professionals, manufacture and great products, they’ve proven themselves to be a great eco-friendly resource.
