What Makes a Window Truly Green? Verdun Windows Recognized by ENERGY STAR® for Leading Sustainability in Design and Manufacturing
Michigan, US, 18th April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In today’s eco-conscious world, consumers are asking a critical question: What makes a window truly green? For Ottawa-based Verdun Windows, the answer goes far beyond energy efficiency. It’s about pairing high-performance design with local craftsmanship, responsible practices, and a deep commitment to environmental stewardship—a philosophy that has earned the company’s manufacturing arm of the company back-to-back ENERGY STAR® Canada Special Recognition Awards in 2023 and 2024.
With over 40 years of experience serving homeowners across Ottawa, Verdun Windows has established itself as much more than a manufacturer of windows. It’s a company that builds with purpose, upholding values that extend from the factory floor to the communities it serves—and to the planet we all share.
A National Recognition for Local Leadership
The ENERGY STAR® Special Recognition Award is reserved for companies that go beyond the technical standards and lead by example in the pursuit of energy efficiency. Verdun’s consecutive wins highlight its consistent dedication to sustainable product development, advanced manufacturing, and overall environmental responsibility.
“At Verdun, energy efficiency isn’t an upgrade—it’s a given,” said a company spokesperson. “We integrate sustainability into every stage of our process, from design to delivery. These awards validate the work we’ve done, but more importantly, they push us to keep setting the bar higher.”
Verdun’s holistic approach to sustainability includes everything from smart material selection and localized production to post-installation energy savings and carbon-conscious operations. It’s not just about the window—it’s about the entire lifecycle.
The Innovation Behind RevoCell
At the heart of Verdun’s energy-saving capabilities is its proprietary RevoCell window technology. Engineered with microcellular PVC (mPVC), RevoCell windows are durable, lightweight, and exceptionally well-insulated—perfectly suited for the extremes of Ottawa’s climate.
Unlike traditional vinyl or wood alternatives, RevoCell features thousands of microscopic air pockets that naturally trap heat in winter and block it in summer. This contributes to more stable indoor temperatures, reduced HVAC usage, and lower utility bills.
“Sustainability also means durability,” the spokesperson explained. “Because RevoCell is moisture-resistant and doesn’t warp or degrade easily, it reduces the need for replacements, ultimately lowering waste and long-term environmental impact.”
Made in Ottawa, for Ottawa
Another distinguishing feature of Verdun’s business model is its commitment to local manufacturing. Every Verdun window is built right in Ottawa by skilled tradespeople who live in the same communities the company serves. This keeps jobs—and investments—local, while dramatically cutting down on emissions associated with shipping and logistics.
By sourcing materials nearby and assembling products under one roof, Verdun avoids the environmental pitfalls of fragmented supply chains. There’s less packaging waste, fewer transport emissions, and better quality control from start to finish.
“Sustainability begins at home,” the spokesperson added. “Our Ottawa facility lets us produce more responsibly, reduce our footprint, and give back to our community in meaningful ways.”
Going the Extra Green Mile
While many companies meet ENERGY STAR® standards, Verdun consistently exceeds them. The company maintains rigorous internal testing procedures to ensure every product performs above industry benchmarks in areas like air infiltration, insulation, and structural strength.
Verdun Windows also continues to invest in research and development, exploring everything from new glazing techniques to advanced frame materials. But their commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop with the product—it extends to how those products are installed.
Verdun’s factory-trained professionals manage all installations from start to finish, ensuring optimal performance and minimal thermal leaks. Our dedicated, full-time installers, with years of exclusive service to Verdun, guarantee precise and efficient fittings.
“We take responsibility for the full customer journey,” said the spokesperson. “That includes building it right and installing it right.”
A Broader Commitment to the Planet
Beyond its core product offering, Verdun has embedded sustainability into the very fabric of its operations. The company is actively pursuing decarbonization across all levels, including the electrification of its entire vehicle fleet, significantly lowering its transportation-related emissions.
As part of its reforestation initiative, Verdun also plants a tree for every window sold, helping to offset carbon emissions and support biodiversity. It’s a simple but powerful gesture that reflects the company’s commitment to long-term environmental health.
“We know that sustainability is about more than just what we sell—it’s about the impact we leave behind,” the spokesperson said. “Whether it’s through reducing emissions or replenishing nature, we’re taking action in every way we can.”
Recognized by Homeowners and Industry Alike
Verdun’s impact isn’t just seen through environmental accolades—it’s also felt in the hearts of its customers. The company was recently named a HomeStars Best of the Best award winner for 2025, adding to its growing list of customer-voted honors in recent years.
This recognition reflects Verdun’s unmatched dedication to quality, customer service, and trust—values that homeowners across Ottawa have relied on for decades.
“Being recognized by HomeStars again this year is especially meaningful,” said the spokesperson. “It means our customers see and appreciate the care we put into every window, every installation, and every interaction.”
Giving Back, Moving Forward
Sustainability, for Verdun, also includes social responsibility. The company is actively involved in community support initiatives, from sponsoring energy awareness programs to giving back through charitable contributions. One recent example: a $5,000 donation to CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario), further demonstrating its deep roots in the community.
And while awards and milestones are worth celebrating, Verdun sees them as markers on a longer journey—one that involves continued innovation, transparency, and care.
“We don’t see sustainability as a finish line,” said the spokesperson. “It’s an evolving promise—one that we intend to keep for generations to come.”
A Window Into a Better Future
So, what truly makes a window green? For Verdun, it’s not just energy ratings or labels. It’s a combination of smarter design, cleaner operations, community investment, and a long-term environmental vision.
As the only Ottawa-based manufacturer to win the ENERGY STAR® Canada Special Recognition Award two years in a row, Verdun continues to lead the industry forward—proving that high performance and high responsibility can, and should, go hand in hand.
With RevoCell technology, local manufacturing, tree-planting programs, a fully electric fleet on the horizon, and unwavering customer trust, Verdun Windows is opening the door to a more sustainable future—one window at a time.

New release from debut author Christie Sikora unveils the tragedy behind the triumph — and the truth behind the silence
Costa Mesa, CA, 18th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, The world came to Munich in 1972 to witness dreams come true. What unfolded instead was a tragedy that shook global consciousness — and left behind questions that have remained unanswered for over fifty years.
In her groundbreaking debut, BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace, Christie Sikora revisits the darkest day in Olympic history with one goal: to reveal the truth — and offer a path toward understanding.
Based entirely on factual truths, BLOOD and GOLD is not just a history lesson — it’s a mirror. Through investigative depth and emotional clarity, Sikora reveals the personal stories, political decisions, and human consequences that converged in Munich. Her mission is clear: to bring light where silence once stood.
“BLOOD and GOLD is not a book about blame,” says Sikora. “It’s a book about accountability, empathy, and awakening. It’s about the lives that were shattered, the voices that were ignored, and the lessons that still haven’t been learned.”
The book explores:
• The historical context that led to the tragedy
• The political missteps and ignored warnings
• The athletes and families caught in the crossfire
• And the urgent need for global peace, personal healing, and deeper truth
Sikora’s work challenges the black-and-white narratives that have dominated for decades, instead presenting a deeply human, powerfully nuanced account. She offers hope — not through idealism, but through courage, conversation, and clarity.
Every purchase of BLOOD and GOLD supports change:
• A $0.25 donation goes to Doctors Without Borders, delivering critical medical aid to crisis zones.
• A $0.25 contribution supports Dynamism to Peace International Foundation, funding trauma recovery programs for women, children, and survivors of violence worldwide.
About the Author
Christie Sikora writes with a voice that is bold, unflinching, and guided by compassion. BLOOD and GOLD is the culmination of years of research, advocacy, and soul-searching — and is already being called a “blueprint for global empathy.” Her goal is to transform not just how we remember, but how we move forward.
Where to Find It
BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace is now available at authorchristiesikora.com, Barnes & Noble, and select retailers. A nationwide tour of signings, interviews, and online panels will accompany the release.

New York, NY – DigiPay.Guru, a leading provider of next-generation digital payment solutions, has announced the global expansion of its cross-border payment platform. This advanced upgrade is designed to meet the growing needs of banks, fintech companies, and financial institutions across the world. With this move, DigiPay.Guru is reshaping how cross-border transactions are handled by making them faster, more transparent, highly interoperable, and accessible to all.
In today’s world of interconnected economies and mobile workforces, cross-border payments have become essential. Whether it’s migrant workers sending money home or small businesses reaching new markets, a dependable and affordable global payment infrastructure has become a necessity for millions.
This latest advancement reflects DigiPay.Guru’s ongoing commitment to building a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem on a global scale.
Bridging the Financial Divide Across Borders
Cross-border payments have traditionally been weighed down by major challenges. These include high transaction fees, long processing times, unclear exchange rates, and tough compliance requirements. Unfortunately, these issues affect underserved communities and emerging markets the most which makes global commerce less accessible to those who need it.
DigiPay.Guru’s upgraded cross-border payment platform removes these obstacles. With a streamlined, API-first solution that includes strong compliance tools and support for multiple currencies, the platform allows users to send and receive funds around the world without the usual complications.
“Our goal is to make global payments more accessible for everyone,” said Rahul Patel, CEO of DigiPay.Guru. “This launch helps financial institutions deliver fast, affordable, and compliant cross-border services to people who rely on them—such as migrant workers, cross-border merchants, and small enterprises.”
Key Features That Make DigiPay.Guru Stand Out
DigiPay.Guru’s cross-border solution includes a range of powerful features that help financial institutions grow their international footprint with confidence:
- Multi-Currency Corridor Support
The platform enables seamless management of different currencies and exchange rates. Institutions can set corridor-specific pricing and offer real-time foreign exchange visibility, resulting in better customer satisfaction and improved profitability. - Peer-to-Peer Remittances
Customers can send secure, real-time transfers internationally using digital wallets, bank accounts, or mobile numbers. This feature is especially helpful for migrant workers sending money home or families sharing funds across countries. - Bulk and Business Payments
Enterprises can send salary payments, vendor payouts, or cross-border invoices to multiple recipients in different currencies with a single action. This functionality supports both SMEs and global payroll teams. - Cross-Border Bill Payments
Users can pay for things like education, utility bills, or insurance across countries. This brings added ease for students, expatriates, and families living abroad. - AML and Sanction Screening
The platform includes built-in KYC checks, anti-money laundering protocols, and real-time sanction screenings. This ensures every transaction complies with international standards while reducing the workload for compliance departments. - Smart Routing and Reconciliation
Transactions are routed intelligently based on speed, cost, and currency corridors. The system also includes a reconciliation dashboard that centralizes data and prepares audit-ready reports. - Agent Network Enablement
The platform enables financial institutions to build agent networks in strategic locations. This makes it easier for customers in cash-based regions to deposit or withdraw funds, bridging the gap between digital and physical banking.
Tackling a Market Worth $156 Trillion
Industry analysts estimate that the global cross-border payments market will surpass $156 trillion by the year 2030. Even today, many individuals and small businesses remain excluded due to high costs and lack of infrastructure. DigiPay.Guru’s solution is designed to fix this imbalance by combining modern fintech capabilities with an inclusive delivery model.
“When institutions use our platform, they are not just saving money. They are also extending financial dignity to the communities they serve,” added Patel. “Our solution helps them stay competitive and relevant in a world where borders matter less and digital access matters more.”
Technology That Delivers Real Impact
The foundation of DigiPay.Guru’s cross-border solution is its flexible, API-first architecture. This makes it easy to deploy, simple to integrate with legacy banking systems, and customizable to meet regional regulations.
The company is also exploring support for blockchain and digital currencies, including decentralized networks. These innovations are part of DigiPay.Guru’s plan to align with global initiatives around modern payment infrastructure like central bank digital currencies and stablecoins.
Supporting Both Banks and Fintech Innovators
DigiPay.Guru’s solution is designed to scale with its partners’ ambitions. Whether a regional bank in Africa wants to start offering international remittance services or a European fintech is planning expansion into Asia, the platform provides the right tools and flexibility. Its modular structure and regulatory support help institutions launch services faster with lower development costs.
Some key use cases include:
- Migrant Remittance Services
- International Payroll and Vendor Payments
- Cross-Border B2B Transactions
- Marketplace Payout-as-a-Service
- Education and Healthcare Payment Solutions
Creating a Future-Ready Ecosystem
Cross-border payment innovation requires collaboration. DigiPay.Guru is actively working with regulators, correspondent banks, telecom providers, money transfer operators, and fintech players to build a more open and inclusive financial system.
By offering open APIs, easy regulatory alignment, and adaptable corridor configurations, DigiPay.Guru invites all ecosystem stakeholders to work together toward real impact across global markets.
The Road Ahead
As financial inclusion continues to be a global priority, DigiPay.Guru’s expanded cross-border capabilities come at an important time. The new solution helps financial institutions modernize their services while unlocking opportunities for unbanked and underserved populations, as well as the increasingly mobile global workforce.
Over the coming year, the company plans to grow its presence in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. DigiPay.Guru aims to onboard more than 50 financial institutions by the end of 2025.
