- Ultraviolet (UV) light block calculations performed using Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories Window 4.1 program. Percentages indicate amount of UV transmittance blocked from the interior using a ¾” glazing unit.
- Visible light transmittance indicates the amount of outside light reaching the interior as calculated using center of glass. Higher percentages mean more outside light reaches interior.
- U-factor represents the amount of heat transfer as measured in accordance with NFRC 100-2001, calculation uses total window unit, and assumes ¾” glazing with a ½” airspace. Lower is better.
- Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) measures the amount of solar radiation entering the building. As measured per NFRC 200-2001 with the Window 4.1 and Frame 4.1 modeling programs. Lower is better.
