What is a Window Energy Rating System?

To assess the efficiency of heat preservation or protection of windows, the glazier industry introduced WERS.

What Is WERS?

The Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) offers a credible system to assess the energy efficiency of fenestration products. This scheme is approved by the Australian Fenestration Rating Council (AFRC), with ratings given by WERS used to measure compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC).

What Do The Energy Performance Scores Mean?

 Energy Performance Scores will give you an idea of the energy efficiency of your glass windows and doors. If you are worried about your heating or cooling expenses and are looking to save money and reduce your usage of energy, these scores provide insight into the types of glass and window tints that will perform well in keeping out extreme temperatures.

Professionals in
home window tinting can work with you to improve the energy performance scores of your glass windows and doors. Window films are offered in a range of tints and colours, with many top performing brands guaranteed to stand the test of time.

How Five-Star WERS Affects Temperature

 Windows can have a dramatic effect on the environment within a building, be it a business or a home. Modern technology has made it possible to use the glass windows and doors in your premises to make your building more efficient, cost effective and environmentally friendly, all at the same time with a five-star WERS rating.


In the past, windows have acted as an energy sieve. Untinted or single glazed panes can either lose heat from the inside of a home or
office , or allow energy from the sun to heat the air inside, very much like a greenhouse.

As heat increases throughout the day, those buildings with air conditioning will expend a lot of money trying to ease the situation.

How Can I Improve My Home's Energy Rating?

If you own a home, there are simple things you can do to improve energy efficiency, reducing your emissions and your bills. Some recommended ways to boost your energy efficiency include:
  • Set your AC cooling temperature at a minimum of 24ºC in summer. During the winter months, set your heating to 20°C at the most. Every increase in heating temperature causes a significant rise in your energy consumption.
  • Get professionally installed glass window tinting. At Solarmaster Window Film, we offer the latest products, many with a five-star WERS rating.
