In February 2005, the U.S. Department of Energy announced new display unit labeling guidelines for manufacturers and retailers of windows, doors, and skylights.
Display units are defined as complete product samples displayed in showrooms, trade shows, and other locations, and whole or partial portable units, such as sample cut-away corners (“corner cuts”), used for sales purposes.
Under the new ENERGY STAR display unit labeling guidelines partners will:
- Label all display units with an appropriate ENERGY STAR display unit label
- Use the graphics templates provided by ENERGY STAR
- Label all new display units shipped after April 30, 2005 and ensure all existing units are labeled by July 31, 2005
The display unit labels are for partner use only. They are for display units only and are not a new or alternative method for labeling products intended for installation.
January 2007 – Bilingual (English/Spanish) labels are now available for partner use and can be downloaded below. Please adhere to the following size specifications (bilingual labels only):
- Minimum size: 3.1" x 3"
- Ratio: 1.03 width/height

Follow the instructions in the Display Unit Labeling Guidelines to identify the right label for your display units. There are two types of labels:
- Type 1 Labels: For use when a standard version exists and it is ENERGY STAR qualified in one or more climate zones.
- Type 2 Labels: For use when there is no standard version. (These labels may also be used when a standard version exists but alternative options qualify in more climate zones than the standard version).
