QAI has now added another accreditation to their industry-leading services in the testing, inspection, certification, and code-compliance of building products. In August 2010, QAI became accredited by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) to perform energy-efficiency computer simulations of Doors, Windows, and Skylights, a requirement to qualify for the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star labeling program. This will complement QAI’s existing Canadian Energy Star program.
“We have been active in the Energy Star programs in Canada for years, and this will now allow us to extend the program to manufacturers selling products in the US. We are excited about this expansion of services and feel it will become a great benefit for our door and window manufacturer clients in the US and Canada.” – Chris Scoville, Senior Project Manager (NFRC)
