The answer is in the STARS
This page explains the General WERS Ratings charts that follow on the next
pages
Five stars for top performers, one star for lowest.... the WERS star system
provides a simple, accurate measure of the efficiency rating of the windows you
select.
The stars are not intended to give an exact measure but rather accurate
indication within given bands of performance. Often a half star will
appear.
The calculations are made using software developed by BRANZ, the Building
Research Association of New Zealand.
The stars rate the glass and glazing options used, the different types of
frame and the various combinations of both.
