2000–2001 South Bell Street

InFacade’s Role

InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for 2000–2001 South Bell 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.

About the Project

The 2000 and 2001 South Bell Street multifamily towers are part of the redevelopment of Crystal Drive in National Landing, Arlington, Virginia.

Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), the 25-story tower at 2000 South Bell Street has 355 units and about 12,000 square feet of ground-level retail. Its façade is defined by two masses with an undulating glass envelope and a four-story cantilever at street level.
