InFacade’s Role
InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for 15 Necco Street, providing the NFRC-based U-factor, SHGC, VT and condensation resistance values required for energy code compliance.
Scope of Work
- Thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems using NFRC methodology (THERM / WINDOW)
- U-factor calculations
- Condensation resistance evaluation
- Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and visible transmittance (VT) calculations
Deliverables
Thermal simulation reports prepared under NFRC 100 and NFRC 200 methodology by an NFRC LEAFF Certified Simulator, documenting U-factor, SHGC, VT and condensation resistance for each system, ready for energy code submittals and specification review.
