InFacade’s Role

InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for 48 East Tower, 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

48 East is a 41-story residential tower in the Rainey Street district of downtown Austin, Texas, developed by Pearlstone Partners.

The project includes approximately 283 condominium residences on a compact urban site.
