Windows In Sustainable Design - 1 CEH/HSW

This presentation addresses the role of windows in commercial and residential building energy performance, and window integration with key sustainable design strategies. Categories common in sustainable building rating systems are identified and contribution of windows defined. Third party certification of window performance, materials and environmental quality characteristics to support sustainable design is outlined.

When you complete this course you will have a better understanding of:

  • The differences in energy use patterns in commercial and residential buildings.
  • The importance of computer modeling to evaluate alternatives and integrate windows in the design process to improve building performance.
  • Role windows can play in supporting design strategies in key categories of energy, materials and indoor environmental quality common in sustainable design rating guidelines.
  • Types of third party material and performance certifications applicable to windows.

Energy Codes and NFRC - 1 CEH/HSW
This course describes the physical principles and terminology used to measure heat loss and gain, the thermal characteristics of windows, rating and labeling standards for product evaluation and building code requirements relating to windows. Building Code evolution and adoption is investigated.

When you complete this course you will know more about:

  • Energy terminology and principles of heat transfer.
  • National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) and window labels.
  • ENERGY STAR® product ratings from the U.S.DOE and EPA.
  • Energy Codes requirements for windows under the International Residential Code (IRC) and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
