ELECTRONIC DATA: Supporting information including THERM 6 and WINDOW 6 files
are being submitted as part of this report. The simulation matrix
is being submitted electronically.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The manufacturer is capable of producing, in its normal
manufacturing process, products in sizes identical to the model
sizes listed in the NFRC 100 Table 4-3 and have a least
deviation of 0 within the tolerances of NFRC 100. All simulations
are performed in the sizes and configurations listed in NFRC 100
Table 4-3 except that a non-standard size may be simulated and
identified in the matrix to match the manufacturer's physical test
sample. Glass and glazing types, Low-E placement, finishes and
other required information is included in the NFRC U-Factor
Simulation Summary Report and/or the NFRC SHGCNT
Simulation Summary Report included in this document.
Additional supporting information and modeling assumptions are
included in the individual reports obtained from the approved
simulation programs and in the notes following the required
summary reports.
NOTES:
1) All simulations use the emissivity from the NFRC
approved files in IGDB Version 33.0.
2) The following simplifications to a Product Line per NFRC
100 were applied:
A) For U-Factor purposes, all glazing options which
vary only in glazing tint or obscurity are assumed to
have the same U-Factor as glazing options without
such tints or obscurity and are not simulated,
provided that such options are not associated with a
change in coating properties.
3) A default frame absorptance of 0.500 is assumed.
4) For Solar Heat Gain and Visible Light Transmittance; all
frame, divider and glass options are grouped using the
best case center of glass/worst case frame values from
the "U" Factor calculations as required by NFRC 200-
2010.

CONCLUSIONS
Detailed assembly drawings, cross -sectional drawings, and a bill of materials as supplied by the client
were used as the basis for performing the simulations. Copies are attached to this report. The results
were secured by using the designated methods and NFRC approved simulation programs as required by,
and in full compliance with NFRC procedures. This report does not constitute certification of this product.
The results in this report apply to the sample as shown in the attached drawings, using the components
and construction methods described herein. NCTL-NW does not warrant the accuracy of the computer
programs used to obtain the results.
This report is the joint property of NCTL-NW and the client to whom it is issued. Permission to reproduce
this report by anyone other than NCTL-NW and the Client must be granted in writing by both of the above
parties. This report may not be reproduced except in its entirety.
Ratings values included in this report are for submittals to an NFRC-licensed IA are not meant to be used
directly for labeling purposes. Only those values identified on a valid Certification Authorization Report
(CAR) by an NFRC accredited Inspection Agency (IA) are to be used for labeling purposes.
The Condensation Resistance results obtained from this procedure are for controlled laboratory
conditions 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 the fenestration system
opening.
Units and rounding is in accordance with NFRC 601, Units and Measurement Policy except that all units
may be reported in IP as the primary units after conversion and any matrix is reported in IP units only
unless requested otherwise by the client.
