Recognized for the second consecutive year as ENERGY STAR®’s Manufacturer of the Year

Edmonton, AB — Today All Weather Windows was named the 2011 ENERGY STAR® Manufacturer of the Year. The award was presented by the Government of Canada at a gala event in Ottawa to recognize the exceptional work done by the company in producing and promoting energy-efficient products.

This is the second consecutive year All Weather Windows has received this prestigious award, which recognizes Canadian leaders who best address the “Five A’s” of market transformation: availability, awareness, accessibility, affordability and acceptability.

“Winning this award for a second year in a row is a significant achievement for our company. Being recognized for producing environmentally friendly products, validates our commitment to the Canadian consumers in making their homes and businesses more energy efficient and reducing their overall carbon footprint,” said Aaron Latimer, Vice President of Marketing.

All Weather Windows has shown that they have become industry leaders in both its lean manufacturing process and end product – windows and doors – reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution without sacrificing the quality or diversity of their products.

As the international symbol for premium energy efficiency, the Energy Star Manufacturer of the Year award is one of the industry’s highest honours, recognizing products that meet or exceed Canadian energy efficiency standards. ENERGY STAR was created to help consumers easily identify products, homes, and buildings that save energy and money, and help protect the environment.

More than 95 per cent of All Weather Windows products currently on the market are Energy Star qualified. In 2010, the company manufactured hundreds of different Energy Star qualified products that sold in retail locations and through builders and contractors across Canada.
