Natural Resources Canada sets the guidelines and determines the eligible rebate amount. The Ontario program then matches the federal rebate based on NRCans decision. Under the current guidelines, one unit of window is defined as one opening in the wall. A large window consisting of multiple panels of glass is counted as one opening in the wall, regardless of how large the window is, or how many units of window is needed to fill the opening. Therefore the Bow window will be counted as one window. The same applies for bay windows.
