Energy Star®, the EPA and DOE announced that beginning 1/1/2015 they would be checking for Window and Door Installation Instructions, from all window and door manufacturers, on-line and included (by link) on all products and promotional materials. Without them, manufacturers will not be able to qualify for Energy Star labels. They have renewed the requirement for Version 7 taking effect this year (October 2023). WIXSYS® has offered a fully vetted and accepted solution for 8 years!
More than 1,250,000 visitors have taken advantage of the WIXSYS online resource helping participating manufacturers educate and provide guidance to installers, contractors, architects, builders, dealers and consumers about the proper way to put their products into service - able to perform up the level achieved in the lab.
Sure - you might have instructions for installation. But what is missing for most, are the required instructions on removing all types of windows; flashing all installations (even blindstop and pocket installs), and covering all installations where the old frame is removed, and all installations where the old frame is left in. The WIXSYS compliant portal library covers all of that - and more: 18 specific applications for replacement, alone. Each is fully illustrated, accurate and complete.
