Join us for an overview of NFRC compliance, thermal performance, and the role of thermal modeling in California’s energy code. John Gordan of WESTLab will discuss thermal heat loss in fenestration systems, the importance of edge-of-glass performance, and the International Glazing Database (IGDB) and certification. The session will also cover the transition from NFRC CMA to NFRC 715, including certification pathways, project challenges, and key takeaways for contractors.
