Weighting Function Research Project-Report and Instructions
Now Available:
- The
final report and accompanying spreadsheets for this complete
research project are located on the task
group web page.
- If
the membership considers this report's recommendations
(page 28), the modifications to NFRC 200 and NFRC 300
will generate SHGC and Visible Transmittance values
that may differ from existing ratings. To understand
better the proposal's ramifications, instructions have
been developed to guide members on how to use WINDOW
5.2 to generate new SHGC and Visible Transmittance values
based on this research project's recommendations.
Please note, membership
has not voted to include this research in any NFRC documents
as of yet. This research has been forwarded to
the Technical Committee for consideration in the pending
2009 document cycle.

NFRC Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Roland
Temple with AZS Consulting has been appointed chairperson
