InFacade’s Role
InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for The Travis, 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.
About the Project
The Travis is a 50-story, 414-unit apartment tower at 80 Red River Street in downtown Austin, Texas, at the western edge of the Rainey Street District near Lady Bird Lake.
At completion it was the tallest apartment-only tower in Austin.
