NFRC Committee Week Meeting Underway in Las Vegas

Send us your questions for the Research and Technology Committee

The National Fenestration Rating Council's (NFRC) Committee Week Meeting is underway at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The proceedings began this morning with the Research and Technology Committee setting the stage for discussing the ballots involved with a number of RFPs.

One discussion will be concerned with developing a test standard (comparable to the ASTM E2264) for whole window products. Another will focus on the development of a test standard (comparable to ASTM E2190) to provide a lifetime performance standard for whole window products.

The committee will also discuss identifying the list of typical spandrel system specimens and simulation and testing for U-factors to validate simulation procedures. 

Finally, the Research and Technology Committee will undertake a discussion that involves crafting a methodology for quantifying the development of thermal stresses in residential and commercial insulating glass units. During this discussion, particular emphasis will be placed on high-performing products.
