630 S. Wabash

InFacade’s Role

InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for 630 S. Wabash, 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

630 S. Wabash is a 19-story, 200,000-square-foot multifamily and student-housing development in Chicago’s South Loop.

The project includes 164 units with 368 bedrooms, ground-floor retail and three levels of rooftop amenities overlooking downtown and Lake Michigan.
