Andersen Corporation Named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE) have named Andersen Corporation as 2010 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year award winner for the Product Manufacturer-Windows category for its family of brands, including Andersen Windows, Renewal by Andersen, Eagle Window and Door and Silver Line.

This distinction honors Andersen's ongoing commitment to providing highly energy-efficient products, as well as the company's comprehensive use of ENERGY STAR information in media relations, consumer education programs, advertising, web sites and training materials. Renewal by Andersen was a significant contributor to the application through its products and ongoing promotion of ENERGY STAR in its marketing activity.

The 2010 Partner of the Year Awards are given to manufacturers and retailers that successfully promote and deliver ENERGY STAR-qualified products, helping customers save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Award winners are selected from more than 9,000 organizations that participate in the ENERGY STAR program.

There are strict requirements as to how award winners can communicate the award, including the use of the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year logo. This is complicated in our case by the fact that the award was given to Andersen Corporation, not Renewal by Andersen independently. We will be issuing detailed communication guidelines once we have EPA approval in the next couple of days. Please refrain from external communication until that time.
