What Makes a Window Truly Green? Verdun Windows Recognized by ENERGY STAR® for Leading Sustainability in Design and Manufacturing

On April 18, 2025, in Michigan, USA, ZEX PR WIRE reported that in today’s environmentally conscious society, consumers are questioning what defines a truly eco-friendly window. Ottawa-based Verdun Windows believes the answer extends beyond energy efficiency. The company focuses on combining top-notch design with local craftsmanship, ethical practices, and a strong dedication to environmental stewardship. These principles have led to Verdun Windows’ manufacturing division receiving consecutive ENERGY STAR® Canada Special Recognition Awards in 2023 and 2024.

Verdun Windows, with over 40 years of experience serving homeowners in Ottawa, has positioned itself not just as a window manufacturer but as a purpose-driven company that upholds values from production to community service and environmental sustainability.

Receiving the ENERGY STAR® Special Recognition Award signifies going beyond technical norms and setting an example in energy efficiency. Verdun’s back-to-back wins underscore its unwavering commitment to sustainable product advancement, advanced manufacturing, and overall environmental accountability.

Verdun’s comprehensive sustainability approach encompasses smart material choices, local production, energy-saving post-installation practices, and carbon-conscious operations. The company’s proprietary RevoCell™ window technology is central to its energy-saving capabilities, utilizing microcellular PVC (mPVC) to deliver durable, lightweight, and well-insulated windows, ideal for Ottawa’s climate extremes.

In addition to the product itself, Verdun’s commitment to sustainability extends to local manufacturing practices, reducing emissions related to logistics while supporting the community and ensuring quality control. The company’s dedication to exceeding ENERGY STAR® standards is evident not only in product development but also in professional installations to minimize thermal leaks.

Beyond its product range, Verdun integrates sustainability into its core operations, pursuing decarbonization by electrifying its vehicle fleet and planting a tree for every window sold to offset carbon emissions. The company’s involvement in community initiatives, such as energy awareness programs and charitable donations, reflects its social responsibility values.

Verdun’s recognition by HomeStars and its commitment to continuous innovation, transparency, and care demonstrate its long-term environmental vision and dedication to a sustainable future. As a leading Ottawa-based manufacturer, Verdun’s approach showcases that high performance and responsibility can coexist harmoniously.

By leveraging RevoCell™ technology, local manufacturing, tree-planting initiatives, transitioning to an all-electric fleet, and fostering customer trust, Verdun Windows is paving the way for a more sustainable future, one window at a time.
