MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 31, 2006--When home and business owners think of products that can decrease energy costs, typically they think of anything that uses power. The NanaWall(R) opening glass wall system from NANA WALL SYSTEMS may not use power, but it can save money on energy bills. The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded the esteemed ENERGY STAR qualification to the NanaWall(R) models SL70, SL50, WD66 and WA67. Because the closed NanaWall(R) seals remain air tight when closed, hot or cold air does not breach the barrier. This helps the inside temperature to remain at a constant level, cutting heating and cooling costs. The NanaWall(R) utilizes insulated glass with low-E film to ensure proper insulation from extreme temperatures. The aluminum framed SL70 and SL50 models are thermally broken to prevent temperatures from transferring from the outside in, and visa versa. The WD66 and WA67 models are framed with wood, which is the best insulator of all the materials. "We are very excited to receive ENERGY STAR approval," said Ebrahim Nana, president of NANA WALL SYSTEMS. "With four of our most popular NanaWall(R) models meeting the ENERGY STAR qualifications, we hope to provide new architectural opportunities to those concerned about energy efficient design." Every ENERGY STAR qualified window, door, or skylight, including the NanaWall(R), is independently tested and certified to perform at levels that meet or exceed strict energy efficiency criteria set by the U.S. Department of Energy. The NanaWall(R) consists of floor to ceiling glass panels that utilize an overhead track system to easily open or close, acting as both a window and a door. The NanaWall(R) folds and stacks to the side, opening the entire room to increase space and redefine boundaries. When closed, the NanaWall(R) provides weather tight, sound efficient privacy.
