Daylighting Subcommittee Creates Scope Statement, U-factor, SHGC Subcommittees Move Ballots Forward

Jeff Baker just led the full Technical Committee meeting as the Daylighting Subcommittee created its initial scope statement, and the U-factor and SHGC Subcommittees moved ballots forward.

Daylighting Subcommittee

The Daylighting Subcommittee created its initial scope statement during this morning’s proceedings.

The statement reads as follows, “To create a rating system for daylighting potential utilizing the existing NFRC VT rating combined with known, bright day incident illuminance values.”

While some members expressed concern over the precise wording of the statement, they ultimately agreed that the language would suffice for the time being and could be revised during the fall 2011 meeting if needed.

A motion to approve the scope statement passed, 40-2

U-factor Subcommittee

This subcommittee moved two ballots forward.

First, a motion to approve the NFRC 100 Dynamic Glazing Ballot and forward it to the Board for approval and implementation upon publication passed, 43-0.

Second, the Technical Committee addressed a motion to approve the NFRC 100 Product Grouping Ballot and the NFRC 100 Sightline Ballot along with the suggested editorial changes and alignment between the ballots.

The motion to forward the ballot to the Board for approval and implementation upon publication passed, 43-0.

Solar Heat Gain Subcommittee

The SHGC Subcommittee also moved two ballots forward.

A motion to forward the NFRC 200 Section 4.5 and 4.7 ballots to the Board for approval and implementation upon publication passed, 43-0.

Additionally, a motion to forward the NFRC 200 Sightline Ballot to the Board for approval and implementation upon publication passed, 45-0.
