<div class=WordSection1>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi Mark,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I agree with the point you make,
but I want to expand the conversation a bit. Specifically, I aim to discuss the
difference between how to use NFRC values and how to input values into energy modeling
software.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The NFRC value should be
accurate for a window of the NFRC standard size. So a standard sized 1200mm x
1500mm fixed window will have a certain U-factor, SHGC and VT as part of its
NFRC rating. But a different size will certainly have different performance
values. I think NFRC is very useful in comparing Window A to Window B in a
standard size, but you are right: once you&#8217;ve selected Window A we need
to make sure that we have the right performance parameters for that sized
window.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I&#8217;ve been working on some
projects that are aiming to be Passive House certified in which case they DO
need to know how performance varies with size. We&#8217;ve worked out some formulas
to calculate the full frame performance (only for U-factor at this point) on a
range of our products. It&#8217;s tricky because you need to know the U-factor
of each component (edge of glass against each part of the frame, each part of
the frame, and COG) as well as the areas of each of those components which of
course vary with different sized windows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I&#8217;m not sure what other
manufacturers are doing to be able to provide this, but we have some of our
product lines in a format that we can provide an NFRC-grade value for a
non-NFRC sized window.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If you want to see the
calculations, you can follow this link: <a

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The document describes how the
window is broken into different sections and includes all the necessary info needed
to calculate full frame performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The last thing I&#8217;d like to
add: It is probably simpler to upload WINDOW5 data (I know eQUEST can import
COG spectral data), specify your window size in the modeling software and
specify your frame U-factor. Your software should take all that data and calculate
what the full-frame data is pretty accurately.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If anyone has any questions
about this, feel free to contact me: generating these formulas took quite a bit
of time and I&#8217;d be happy to share my learning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have always assumed that for

&#8211; i.e. they&#8217;re not just single values for U, SHGC and VT. I could

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Lastly &#8211; I&#8217;ve looked
into some detail at how full frame U-factors are calculated and how they vary

by size too. I found that if a window had, say 0.5 SHGC COG and the window was
90% glass, 10% frame (by area) the resulting full frame SHGC was GREATER than
(90%)*(0.5 SHGC). This means to me that the frame has some non-zero SHGC
contribution. Granted, it was small (if I remember correctly on the order of
0.1) but still &#8211; non-zero!!! In my head I assumed that the frame would
reflect additional heat through the window into the space &#8211; that may not
be correct, but it made sense with my results. &nbsp;I haven&#8217;t looked at
VT that closely but I would assume the same is true &#8211; that the frame adds
some small VT to the whole unit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Important thing to remember with
windows is that the real number is the one that account for actual size and
that takes into account angle dependent properties of glazing.&nbsp; In most
cases, single performance indices at standard conditions are used (i.e.,
U-factor, SHGC, and VT at normal incidence and standard environmental
conditions) in an energy model of a building, which can produce errors anywhere
from 10% to a 100%!!&nbsp; The correct procedure is to either specify correct
configuration and size of the product, with glazing specified &nbsp;layer by
layer (possible in EnergyPlus) or use what is called DOE2 or EnergyPlus reports
from WINDOW program (DOE2 report is used in DOE2 simulation program and E+
report is used in E+ simulation program).&nbsp; This is the only way to fully
account for changes in size, angular properties of glazing and actual weather
conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Rating Council) has started to provide DOE2 and E+ report files in their new
CMAST certification system, however number of products available is still
relatively small and is limited to commercial projects.&nbsp; EnergyPlus has
also implemented in version 5.0 option to specify standard numbers at standard
conditions (like the ones available from <a

and E+ uses then internal algorithms to provide glazing angular information and
correction for actual conditions.&nbsp; While it is best to model specific
configurations for a window in THERM and WINDOW program (THERM is required to
model frames and edge of glazing), this is not something that average user will
be able to do, so getting whole product information from the NFRC web site and
using E+ option to convert this data to something resembling real performance

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi Otto,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Serious Materials provides full
frame performance data here: <a
href="http://index.seriouswindows.com/document-library/Datasheets/">http://index.seriouswindows.com/document-library/Datasheets/</a>.
I have also have some of our commercial packages modeled in curtainwall and
storefront framing systems that I can provide upon request.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Firstly let me say that Window5
is a great tool &#8211; I use it often and love it. The only thing I would
advise is that there can be a wide distribution in frame U-factors. The default
U-factor for a thermally broken aluminum (TBA) frame in Window 5 is U-1.0.
Using THERM and Window5 I&#8217;ve seen TBA frame U-factors vary from as low as
0.8 to as high as 1.5. The resultant full-frame U-factor using these 2
differing TBA frames (and the same glass package) is: 0.29 (R-3.4) for the
poorer performing frame, and 0.22 (R-4.5) for the better frame.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I would say that putting either
of those full frame u-factors in your energy model will yield pretty different
results. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I think it&#8217;s really
important that we, as simulators and modelers, look at full-frame performance
because this is the system that will be installed in the building.
Center-of-Glass data can be useful comparing two different glass packages, but
at the end of the day, it&#8217;s a framed system that will be installed and a
framed system that should be analyzed. My 2¢.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
