We all share one earth, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to find ways to protect it.  That not only means producing energy-efficient windows and doors, it means producing them in responsible ways that reduce waste, conserve resources and minimize our impact on the environment.  Clearly Green is our commitment as a company to do everything we can to operate in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Energy Efficient Products

Lowering energy consumption is one of the most effective ways to reduce your impact on the environment. Heating and cooling accounts for half of the average home energy bill, and inefficient windows and doors are the number one contributor to heat loss and energy waste.

Kohltech is a leader in energy‐efficient products that minimize heat transfer to lower your monthly energy consumption and your energy bills.

Many of our products are ENERGY STAR rated, the international standard for energy efficiency. And with multiple energy‐saving options like LoE Argon, Energlas®, Energlas Plus® and Solarglas, our windows not only look good; they also do good for the environment.

You can do your part to live Clearly Green today. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to new energy efficient windows and doors, there’s never been a better time. With Federal and Provincial government rebates available for qualifying products, you could save thousands of dollars on top of your monthly energy bill savings.

Green Initiatives

Energy efficient products are just one part or Kohltech’s Clearly Green mission. We’re committed to finding ways to reduce our impact throughout the manufacturing process, so that at the end of the day, our products and the way they were manufactured are both good for the earth.

Over the past year, we’ve introduced key initiatives including forming a “Green Team” of employees and company executives to evaluate every aspect of our operations and indentify ways to reduce our environmental impact. We’ve also added a full‐time Clearly Green Recycling Coordinator to the Kohltech team to spearhead and coordinate our ongoing efforts.

It is our objective as a company to reduce waste going to landfills by 75% by 2010, and we’re well on our way. We’ve developed and implemented internal systems to reduce the top six waste contributors; wood, cardboard, plastic, vinyl, metal and paper. As a result, we’ve reduced waste from eight pounds per unit to only three, diverting hundreds of thousands of pounds of material from our landfills every year. And we’re just getting started. Our future is Clearly Green.

Environmental Awards

At Kohltech, we’re committed to finding ways to reduce our impact on the environment, and our commitment has recently been recognized with a prestigious Mobius Awards. The Mobius Awards are sponsored by the Resource Recovery Fund Board (RRFB) Nova Scotia, and recognize individuals, businesses and organizations for helping to make Nova Scotia a leader in waste reduction, recycling and composting. Kohltech was honoured as the Large Business of the Year for our efforts in waste diversion and reduction.
