NFRC Certified Simulations

NFRC stands for National Fenestration Rating Council. Under the NFRC umbrella, windows, doors, skylights, and other fenestration products are rated for their thermal performance. These performance indices are used for code compliance, energy star qualification, etc.

Carli, Inc. offers services in computer simulations of fenestration products for the purpose of obtaining Thermal Performance in accordance with NFRC standard procedures. THERM5 and WINDOW5 programs are used in simulations in compliance with the NFRC 100, 200, 300, and 500 (both 1997 and 2001 editions).

As a result of the simulation, U-factors, SHGC, VT, and CR indices are produced and submitted to the NFRC database for the issuance of the NFRC label and custom reports are prepared for clients. The NFRC label is based on "whole product performance" and is reported for the standard NFRC sizes.

The main indices of thermal performance of fenestration systems are the U-Factor and the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). These two indices are calculated using computer simulation tools THERM and WINDOW. Calculations are validated with thermal measurements in a hot box.

Carli, Inc. works with its customers to guide them through the often confusing and complex NFRC process, which includes help in deciding about physical testing options. In addition, we also provide calculations and measurements of optical properties of glazing (simple glass, laminates, applied films, etc.)

Our pledge: We provide the best service in the industry at an unbeatable price. Customer always comes first and we will always work to meet expectations and beat the deadlines for a customer. We are capable of completing certified simulations for a product line in as little as 1-2 days, through our rush service.
