press release 2026
TORONTO, Oct 6, 2026

JELD-WEN of Canada is proud to announce that it has been awarded the 2026 ENERGY STAR Canada Sustained Excellence Award—an honour recognizing one organization that has not only maintained but surpassed its ENERGY STAR achievements year over year. This distinction marks JELD-WEN of Canada’s 14th ENERGY STAR Award, underscoring more than two decades of leadership in advancing energy efficiency across Canadian homes and buildings.

The Sustained Excellence Award celebrates organizations that demonstrate exceptional, ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship through innovative product development, consumer education, and industry collaboration. JELD-WEN of Canada continues to exemplify these values through its investment in high‑performance technologies, expansion of ENERGY STAR certified product lines, and national efforts to help Canadians make informed, energy‑smart choices.

In 2025 and 2026, JELD-WEN of Canada further strengthened its sustainability leadership by launching two new fenestration products engineered to exceed Canada’s 2030 aspirational energy‑efficiency target. These next‑generation, Canadian-made window systems incorporate advanced glazing, optimized frame design, and enhanced thermal performance to deliver meaningful reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Both products also feature JELD-WEN’s patent pending track diverter technology, delivering a smooth‑glide operation that represents a significant advancement over conventional slider and hung window systems. This innovation improves ease of use, enhances long‑term durability, and reflects the company’s commitment to designing products that elevate both performance and everyday homeowner experience.

“Receiving the Sustained Excellence Award is a tremendous honour for our entire organization,” said Robert Conway, President of JELD-WEN of Canada. “Each ENERGY STAR recognition is deeply meaningful to us—not as a measure of accolades, but as a reflection of our long-standing responsibility to deliver products that support a more energy-efficient future. We remain humbled by this milestone and motivated to continue raising the bar for performance, innovation, and environmental stewardship in every region we serve.”

Over the past year, JELD-WEN of Canada has continued to advance its energy-efficiency initiatives by enhancing product performance, expanding educational tools for homeowners, and strengthening partnerships with builders, retailers, and industry associations. These efforts support the company’s mission to provide durable, high-performing windows and doors that contribute to long-term comfort, sustainability, and reduced energy consumption.
