80 Rainey Street

InFacade’s Role

InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for 80 Rainey 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

80 Rainey Street is a 48-story mixed-use tower in Austin’s Rainey Street district with 644 rental units.

The first two floors include about 5,000 square feet of retail and food-and-beverage space, and the 11th-floor pool deck and bar are open to the public.
