Saving Money on ENERGY STAR products

Installing ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights shrinks energy bills — and carbon footprints — by about 7-24 percent compared to non-qualified products.

Your estimated savings will vary depending on current heating and cooling costs in your region.

For a typical home, choose ENERGY STAR and save:

$126–$465 and 980–4,545 pounds of CO2 which is equivalent to 51 to 234 gallons of gasoline	a year when replacing single-pane windows
$27–$111 and 82–1,233 pounds of CO2 which is equivalent to 4 to 62 gallons of gasoline	a year when replacing double-pane, clear glass windows

What is a Carbon Footprint?

Your personal carbon footprint measures the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions caused by your activities. It includes CO2 emissions from such things as driving your car or flying in a plane, the manufacture and distribution of the products you buy, and turning on the lights in your home. A carbon footprint is usually measured in pounds or tons of CO2 per year.

Home energy use accounts for about one-quarter of your carbon footprint, but this can vary depending on the kinds of energy sources available to power your home. ENERGY STAR calculates carbon savings for ENERGY STAR qualified windows, doors, and skylights based on the mix of fuels in a region and the estimated energy use for a typical home.
