How important is this notation when looking at doors? I am comparing HD's
"Feather River" doors and a "Therma-Tru" door, both fiberglass. I like
the
looks of the latter door much better, but it says nothing about "Energy
Star" stuff on the literature, while the former says it is compliant in
all
50 states.

Is this notation just a marketing thing, or should I take it into account
for comparison? The doors seem similarly constructed, with foam cores and
triple-pane glass.

Do they give specifications on R values and insulation? The second may be
the same but did not do whatever has to be done to say they are Energy Star
compliant. You probably have to do testing a pay a fee for the use of the
name.
