Who Benefits from NFRC Membership?

• Window, door, and skylight manufacturers who want to stay on top of the latest rating methodologies.
• Architects, builders, and specifiers who want to select or specify energy-efficient fenestration products.
• Utilities that run energy efficiency rebate and other incentive programs and want to be assured of a return for their investment.
• Higher education institutions that perform energy efficiency research.
• Building officials and other government workers who develop and enforce energy codes.
• Public interest and consumer organizations promoting energy efficiency or seeking a cleaner environment.

They all have one need in common: Fair, accurate, and credible window, door, and skylight energy performance ratings.

Hundreds have joined the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) to satisfy that need. Founded in 1989, NFRC brings together the foremost experts in the field to administer the nation's only uniform, independent system for rating and labeling fenestration energy performance.
