The thermal performance test results were derived from 02:10 hours, 06/11/15 to 06:10

hours, 06/11/15.

The environmental systems were started at 17:25 hours, 06/10/15.

Tc

The following information, condensed from the test data, was used to determine the

condensation resistance factor:

The CRF number was determined to be 79 (on the size as reported). When reviewing this

test data, it should be noted that the glass temperature (GT) was colder than the frame

temperature (FT) therefore controlling the CRF number. Refer to the 'CRF Report' page

and the 'Thermocouple Location Diagram' page of this report.

Prior to testing the specimen was sealed with silicone on the interior side and checked for air

infiltration per Section 9.3.4.

The sample was inspected for the formation of frost or condensation, which may influence the

surface temperature measurements. The sample showed no evidence of condensation/frost at

the conclusion of the test.
