SPACERS: SS-D: Stainless Steel with PIB/silicone sealants.
GRILLS (INTERNAL OR TDL): NONE
GRILLS (PATTERNS): For U-Factor, SHGC and VT calculations standard default grid
pattern established by Window 6 which is assumed to be closest
to but not greater than 12" OC is used.
WEATHERSTRIP: NONE
CONTINUOUS HARDWARE: NONE
THERMAL BRIDGING: Stainless steel bolt.
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 ANSI/NFRC 100 Table 4-3 and have a least
deviation of 0 within the tolerances of ANSI/NFRC 100. All
simulations are performed in the sizes and configurations listed
in ANSI/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
ANSI/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 ANSI/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.
