Words: Dan KamysAIA Credit, Free Webinar: Meeting Commercial Fenestration Code Compliance

On Monday, January 13, the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), a non-profit organization that administers a voluntary, uniform rating, labeling, and certification system for the energy performance of windows, doors, curtain walls, skylights, and other fenestration products, will host a free webinar on meeting commercial fenestration code compliance. The hour-long webinar will begin at 1 p.m. EST. Attendees can earn one AIA continuing education credit.

According to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the energy lost through windows represents 4 to 5 percent of total annual U.S. energy consumption at a cost of $50 billion.

During the webinar you will learn how to:

  • Quickly and easily determine fenestration code compliance for commercial projects.

  • Understand the NFRC 100 and NFRC 200 documents.

  • Understand the 2009 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1 - 2007 fenestration energy requirements for commercial construction.
