Test Duration
1. The environmental systems were started at 06:55 hours, 04/15/13.
2. The test parameters were considered stable for two consecutive four hour test periods
from 07:50 hours, 04/16/13 to 15:50 hours, 04/16/13.
3. The thermal performance test results were derived from 11:50 hours, 04/16/13 to 15:50
hours, 04/16/13.
The reported Standardized Thermal Transmittance (Ust) was determined using CTS Method,
per Section 8.2(A) of NFRC 102.

Glass collapse determined using a digital glass and air space meter
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.
“This test method does not include procedures to determine the heat flow due to either air
movement through the specimen or solar radiation effects. As a consequence, the thermal
transmittance results obtained do not reflect performances which are expected from field
installations due to not accounting for solar radiation, air leakage effects, and the thermal bridge
effects that have the potential to occur due to the specific design and construction of the
fenestration system opening. The latter can only be determined by in-situ measurements.
Therefore, it is important to recognize that the thermal transmittance results obtained from this
test method are for ideal laboratory conditions and should only be used for fenestration product
comparisons and as input to thermal performance analyses which also include solar, air leakage
and thermal bridge effects.”
The test sample was installed in a vertical orientation, the exterior of the specimen was exposed
to the cold side. The direction of heat transfer was from the interior (warm side) to the exterior
(cold side) of the specimen. The ratings were rounded in accordance to NFRC 601, NFRC Unit
and Measurement Policy. The data acquisition frequency is 5 minutes.
ANSI/NCSL Z540-2-1997 type B uncertainty for this test was 1.58%.
Required annual calibrations for the Architectural Testing Inc. 'thermal test chamber' (ICN
000001) in York, Pennsylvania were last conducted in May 2012 in accordance with
Architectural Testing Inc. calibration procedure. A CTS Calibration verification was performed
June 2012. A Metering Box Wall Transducer and Surround Panel Flanking Loss
Characterization was performed December 2012.
