Yes, because you are asking about two different qualifications.

Not everything Energy Star is also IRS tax credit. It might be Energy-company credit or rebate, and it might be State credit or rebate.

You look at the IRS eligibility, and it will tell you a certification or level rating, such as SEER 16 or 85% minimum efficiency, or whatever. Then the specific purchase can be evaluated. Just having Energy Star doesn't give the quantitative info.

I respectfully suggest you follow your own advice and actually look at the IRS eligibilty.  Please look at the Form 5695 instructions for doors and windows.  It says "...that meets the Energy Star program requirements" and "...that meet Energy Star certification requirements".

If you read my post, you will see I am looking for where these requirements are.  Clearly, for doors and windows, they are NOT where you say there are.  So again, the question is where does one look to find these requirements by the various regions?  Does anyone have an updated map?
