System U-Value Product Simulations
NFRC 100 System U-Value and NFRC 200 SHGC simulations, prepared in-house by NFRC 715 simulation tool Licensed Users.
Energy code documentation for your fenestration
Both Rick and Matt are NFRC 715 simulation tool Licensed Users, allowing us to provide quick-turn simulation results.
The IECC requires that fenestration U-factor and SHGC be determined in accordance with NFRC procedures. For commercial projects that means a whole-product rating built from the specific framing series, glass make-up and spacer on your job — not a catalogue number.
- NFRC 100 System U-Value simulations via the NFRC 715 simulation tool
- NFRC 200 SHGC and visible transmittance via the NFRC 715 simulation tool
- Documentation to demonstrate IECC energy code compliance
- Product selection guidance for storefront, curtainwall and entrances
What we need from you
The more of this you can send with the request, the faster the report comes back.
The project
Project name, location and bid date. Location matters — the applicable code and climate zone follow from it.
The system
Framing series and configuration — storefront, curtainwall, window wall or entrances — along with the finish and any thermal break.
The glass
Glass make-up and spacer. If the specification sets a target U-factor or SHGC, send that too and we will work to it.
Not sure of the make-up yet? Send the plans and specifications and we will work from those.
