Published purpose

Wooden doors do not have good energy performance compared to steel or fiberglass doors. They will no longer pass the Star Energy standard as of 2020 and a large part of the wood door company's offer will no longer pass the new Energy Code scheduled for 2022, and no doors will pass as of 2025. It will still be possible to sell these doors in the renovation, but if nothing changes in the planned codes, the company will no longer be able to sell them for new buildings. The goal of the project is therefore to develop a range of wooden entrance doors that exceed the energy efficiency requirements of the 2025 Code.
