What are the benfits for suppliers?

As a window manufacturer or installer; having your window systems window energy rated will provide an independent means of demonstrating to the consumer how energy efficient your products are. When initially simulated or tested you may not see the marketing potential of promoting a low rated window.

However, by working with the simulator you may be able to utilise more energy efficient component technology, which, when incorporated into your product, will improve its overall performance.

The Building Regulations for all regions of the UK reference the BFRC Window Energy Rating scheme as an acceptable method to demonstrate compliance with their thermal performance requirements for replacement windows as an alternative to U-values.

Manufacturers with registered ratings will have their details on the BFRC web site, with a search faclity to assist consumers seeking energy efficient windows to identify potential window replacement companies.
