This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 01/13/2021, 02/03/2022, and 05/10/2022. Attendees of the previously offered presentations, RV-W011221, RV-W020322, and RV-W051022, will not receive CEU for attending the 10/06/2022 presentation.
 
Does the topic of energy efficiency and performance create an unsure feeling of which way to turn to make sense of it all? Then this webinar is what you have been looking for! This presentation will set a basic foundation of what energy efficiency is and discuss a variety of features that affect the performance of windows and doors in today’s marketplace. We will highlight ways to improve energy performance with windows and doors by getting a clear understanding of energy rating systems and programs like Energy Star and the National Fenestration Rating Council. Finally, this webinar will show you how the current and future energy code requirements relate to building design and construction professionals.

Course Objectives
  • Recognize who the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is and the role that they play qualifying Energy Calculations for fenestration products as required by Code.
  • List the different types of Low E used within the industry as well as the effects they can have on Energy Calculations.
  • Recall Residential and Commercial Energy requirements as well as maps depicting the different Climate Zones.
  • Describe how each of the different energy requirements such as U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain, and Visible Transmittance can be used within different glass packages, and the effects that they will have on meeting the Energy Codes. 
  • Compare and contrast the 2 main compliance paths known as the “Performance Path” and the “Prescriptive Path” will be provided to help determine which one to best use when calculating energy requirements.
