Massachusetts has the second highest electricity rates in the continental US and one of the strictest energy codes — the Stretch Energy Code. VEKA Therm-82 Passive and Schüco MB-104 Passive exceed both requirements by design, and may qualify for Mass Save rebates. Delivered to Greater Boston, Cape Cod, Pioneer Valley, and all MA zip codes.
Massachusetts' Stretch Energy Code is the most demanding residential energy code in the United States — adopted by over 300 MA municipalities and going significantly beyond IECC 2021. It pushes window U-value requirements that eliminate most standard US window brands from new construction projects in compliant towns.
Every VEKA and Schüco system we sell exceeds the Stretch Code's requirements. Our VEKA Therm-82 Passive, with a Uw of 0.73 W/m²K, doesn't just meet the code — it achieves Passive House Institute certification, the gold standard in window thermal performance worldwide.
At Massachusetts' $0.23/kWh electricity rate — second only to Connecticut in the continental US — energy savings from European windows are more valuable here than almost anywhere in the country. Combined with Mass Save rebates for qualifying window replacements, the total cost of ownership makes a compelling case.
