WINDOW PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
U-Factor is based on 1/2" air gap, no divider, intercept spacer and values from NFRC simulations.
SHGC = Solar Heat Gain Coefficient; VT = Visible Light Transmittance; DP = Design Pressure
STC = Sound Transmission Class; EWR = Exterior Wall Rating; OITC = Outdoor/Indoor Transmission Class
