VIG TG Update NFRC Fall Membership Conference D. Cooper Oct. 2016

Two Main Objectives Add VIG specific content to the NFRC documents where required Test VIG in window frames – how do the results compare with the LBNL simulations.

1. Updates to NFRC Documents Task group split into sub teams to review the NFRC documents to determine where content was needed. All recommendations reviewed by the task group members. Recommended changes to be presented to the specific committees responsible for content, ballot the changes and update the documents: Simulation Manual / NFRC 100 – 200 – 700 - 705

2. VIG Testing RFQ budget submitted to the board. Team determined the most optimized test program: Simulate VIG constructions in Window/Therm v7 programs: 2 frame materials (aluminum / PVC) 2 frame (2 manufacturers) 8 simulations. Action: Volunteers to write up RFQ. Lab Physical Testing VIG center of glass using GHP method. VIG window constructions from above – thermal hot box testing.
