Project Requirements & Specifications
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has constructed a list of door specification requirements that must be followed to receive the exterior door rebate. Both contractors and self-installers should use these requirements as a checklist when purchasing and performing door installations. Proper installations and door specifications are verified before rebates are processed.
- The old exterior door to be replaced must be uninsulated or an otherwise thermally substandard exterior door.
- The door must be a pre-hung door with a threshold. The door must either be ENERGY STAR-Certified or NFRC-rated and meet the U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient requirements listed in the table below based on glazing levels.
- The glazing level refers to the distinction of whether the replacement door is ≤ ½-Lite, which refers to the proportion of the door that is taken up by a window.
- BPA will accept pre-existing models that were ENERGY STAR-Certified at the time they were manufactured even if the ENERGY STAR specifications change.
- If the door is not ENERGY STAR-Certified or NFRC-rated, or the ENERGY STAR list is not accessible, utilities may comply by documenting that the door meets ENERGY STAR specifications.
For more information regarding door specifications, please refer to BPA’s implementation manual.
