During the past few months, our parent company worked alongside other industry leaders to develop our windows’ Product Category Rule (PCR). This paved the way for Andersen Corporation to create double-hung windows using EPD materials, marking another environmental milestone for our company. With this initiative, our replacement windows in Connecticut will definitely provide many benefits to local homes.

Understanding the PCR

The PCR is an important factor in determining a product’s sustainability. It involves the range where life cycle assessments and EPDs are conducted. One of its objectives is to boost the transparency among manufacturers in terms of reducing product environmental impacts.

Green building certifications are crucial in a product’s PCR. Through these certifications, manufacturers who create products with published EDPs will gain recognition from industry leaders. Andersen Corporation proves their commitment to their sustainability principles by receiving numerous green building certifications. They are the first window manufacturer to be Green Seal Certified. Moreover, they are the first to receive an ENERGY STAR® National Window Partner of the Year, verifying the efficiency of our window products.
