5th & Spring Garden

InFacade’s Role

InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for 5th & Spring Garden, 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

5th & Spring Garden is a large mixed-use development occupying a full city block in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The project includes a 12-story residential tower with 370 units over retail, a grocery store and a below-grade parking garage.
