Alpen HPP’s WinSert secondary window insert was named a 2022 Green Product Winner by BuildingGreen, recognizing products that significantly improve upon standard “business-as-usual” practices and solve industry-wide challenges.

Energy Efficiency
Windows are a critical element to your home’s aesthetic, energy efficiency, and comfort. Replacing your windows with high-performing options is a great way to improve these aspects, but it requires choosing the right products.
NFRC ratings use computer simulations to calculate the performance of whole-window units (including frames and spacers). Physical tests confirm the accuracy of the simulated U-factor, and only window products that meet these standards earn the blue ENERGY STAR label.
The ENERGY STAR label is a mark of quality that homeowners can trust. ENERGY STAR-certified products contribute significant energy savings nationwide and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To learn more, visit ENERGY STAR’s website.
Product Design
A product’s design — whether aesthetically beautiful, functionally ingenious or conceptually revolutionary — can make the difference between a product that’s just OK and one that’s exceptional. Whether they’re a window, door, frame or other component, each year the editors of Window + Door select products that exhibit excellent design quality for our Product Design Awards.
In addition to receiving the Best New Product of the Year award, WECO 2C’s IGLU system received the Australian Glass and Window Association (AGWA) and Good Design Award. It’s the second international recognition of this innovative energy efficient wood window system in less than a year.
