Architectural Testing, Inc. was contracted to perform U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient,Visible Transmittance, and Condensation Resistance* computer simulations in accordance withthe National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). The products were evaluated in fullcompliance with NFRC requirements to the standards listed below.
*NFRC's Condensation Resistance rating is NOT equivalent to a Condensation ResistanceFactor (CRF) determined in accordance with AAMA 1503.

Modeling Assumptions/Technical Interpretations:1) To prevent air infiltration, tape was applied to all interior sash crack locations.2) This product is available in either a painted or anodized finish. These two finish
types were grouped for simulation purposes in accordance with NFRC 100-2010, Section 4.2.1.L. The painted finish was simulated since it is worst case (highestemissivity).
Specialty Products Table:
SHGC = SHGC0 + SHGCc (SHGC1 - SHGC0)VT = VT0 + VTc (VT1 - VT0)
Validation Matrix:
The specialty products method allow the manufacturer to determine the overall product SHGCand VT for any glazing option. The center of glass SHGC and/or VT must be determined usingWINDOW 6.3.74. The method gives overall product SHGC and VT indexed on center of glassproperties. All values used in the calculations are truncated to six decimal place precision.

The Condensation Resistance results obtained from this procedure are for controlled laboratoryconditions and do not include the effects of air movement through the specimen, solar radiation, and the thermal bridging that may occur due to the specific design and construction of thefenestration system opening.
Ratings values included in this report are for submittals to an NFRC-licensed IA and are notmeant to be used directly for labeling purposes. Only those values identified on a validCertification Authorization Report (CAR) by an NFRC accredited Inspection Agency (IA) areto be used for labeling purposes.
