Description
Understanding glazing concepts can help determine how well a product will keep a home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. By recognizing proper fenestration design principles, industry professionals and consumers can reliably compare products and make informed decisions about the windows and doors they purchase, install, and inspect. This webinar will explore glazing characteristics such as U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), Visible Transmittance (VT), Air Leakage (AL), and how they relate to the overall performance of the assembly. This webinar will also analyze the impact that provisions of the 2009 IRC dealing with safety have on glazing selection and installation.
