Attention Licensed Wisconsin Architects!

During this one hour program we will learn about two technologies - structural thermal barriers for aluminum window framing and warm-edge spacer technology for insulating glass. Mr. Gainey will:

Discuss the various comfort and performance-related topics in fenestration systems including, overall U-factor, condensation resistance factor (CRF), sound transmission OITC (Outdoor Indoor Transmission Class)
Compare two methods for optimizing the performance of aluminum fenestration components through the application of thermal barriers in the framing
Optimize the performance of fenestration components through the application of thermal barriers in the air space material, also known as warm-edge technology for insulating glass
Observe a range of measured performance outcomes, energy-savings, LEED® and Cradle to Cradlesm contribution using case study data of built commercial projects in the U.S. and globally utilizing one or both types of thermal barriers in the frame and insulating glass
