The results represent Center-of-Glass performance data based on ANSI/NFRC 100 and ANSI/NFRC 200 Environmental Design Conditions utilizing the LBNL Window 7.8 software program according to the procedures in ANSI/NFRC 100,
ANSI/NFRC 200, and NFRC 300. Performance data is based on representative samples of factory production. Actual values may vary slightly due to variations in the production process. This data is to be used for comparison purposes and
should not be considered a contract. For configurations that include diffuse components, performance results cannot be verified and should only be used as a general indication of performance. It is the recipient’s responsibility to ensure the
manufacturability of the above glazing configurations as well as evaluating appropriate design considerations such as wind and snow load analysis, thermal stress analysis, and local building code compliance. Vitro makes no warranty or
guarantee as to the results obtained by the user and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the data from non-Vitro manufacturers utilized in the above simulations. Vitro recommends that a full size mock-up be reviewed under the specific
job-site conditions and retain the mock-up as a basis of acceptable product.

Glossary

Thickness (inches) - Overall thickness of the glazing unit rounded to the nearest 1/16th of an inch

Transmittance UV % - Expressed as a percentage of transmittance through the glass that is in a given spectrum range; Ultraviolet (UV) covers the ultraviolet
spectrum from 300 nanometers to 380 nanometers.

Transmittance Visible % - Expressed as a percentage of transmittance through the glass that is in a given spectrum range; Visible light (VLT) covers the visible
spectrum from 380 nanometers to 780 nanometers.

Transmittance Total Solar % - Expressed as a percentage of transmittance through the glass that is in a given spectrum range; Total Solar covers ultraviolet,
visible and near infrared energy within the solar spectrum from 300 nanometers to 2100 nanometers.

Exterior Solar Reflectance % - Expressed as a % of reflectivity from the glass surface that is in a given spectrum range; Exterior Solar covers the reflectance of the
exterior surface (surface 1 facing the elements) in the ultraviolet, visible and near infrared energy from 300 nanometers to 2100 nanometers.

Exterior Visible Reflectance % - Expressed as a % of reflectivity from the glass surface that is in a given spectrum range; Exterior Visible covers the reflectance on
the exterior surface (surface 1 facing the elements) in the visible spectrum from 380 nanometers to 780 nanometers.

Interior Visible Reflectance % - Expressed as a % of reflectivity from the glass surface that is in a given spectrum range; Interior Visible covers the reflectance of
the interior surface (facing the inside of the living space) in the visible spectrum from 380 nanometers to 780 nanometers.

U-Value (Winter Nighttime) (Btu/hr*ft2*°F) - A measure of the insulating characteristics of the glass or how much heat gain or loss occurs through the glass due to
the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures using Winter Nighttime environmental conditions of 70°F inside air temperature, 0°F outside temperature,
12.3 mph outside winds and no sunlight. The lower the number, the better the insulating performance. This number is the reciprocal of the R-Value.

U-Value(Summer Daytime) (Btu/hr*ft2*°F) - A measure of the insulating characteristics of the glass or how much heat gain or loss occurs through the glass due to
the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures using Summer Daytime environmental conditions of 75°F inside air temperature, 90°F outside temperature,
6.15 mph outside winds and 248.2 Btu/hr*ft2*°F direct solar radiation. The lower the number, the better the insulating performance. This number is the reciprocal of
the R-Value.

Shading Coefficient (SC) - The measure of the heat gain through glass from solar radiation. Specifically, the shading coefficient is the ratio between the solar heat
gain for a particular type of glass and that of 3mm clear glass. The lower the number, the better the shading performance.

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) - Measures how well a window blocks (or shades) the heat from sunlight. SHGC is the fraction of solar radiation transmitted
through a window or skylight, as well as the amount that is absorbed by the glass and reradiated to the interior. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
The lower a window's SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits and the greater its shading ability. The SHGC is similar to the SC, but also accounts for absorbed,
convected, and inwardly radiated solar energy.

Light To Solar Gain (LSG) - The ratio of visible light to solar heat gain. LSG = VLT ÷ SHGC. Glass with higher LSG numbers are typically desired by architects
because they offer superior solar control, with relatively high visible light transmittance.

Thermal Stress Risk


(If annealed glass) - The risk associated with the glass breaking due to thermally induced stresses if the glass was annealed. A Low Risk indicates that the glass
types selected present a low risk of thermal stress breakage beyond 8 breaks per 1000 units, but a detailed thermal stress analysis is still suggested. A Medium
Risk indicates that the use of heat treated glass may be required for some portion of the glazing because there could be more than 8 breaks per 1000 units.
Complete a detailed thermal stress analysis. A High Risk indicates that more than likely heat treated glass will be required for at least the outer layer of the glazing
because it is likely there will be more than 8 breaks per 1000 units. A detailed thermal stress analysis is required.
