Join us for a 1-hour overview of how fenestration (windows, glass doors, skylights) can make or break a project when considering the Energy Code and goals for Zero Net Carbon Design. We will explore fenestration design considerations, efficiency metrics, carbon footprint and impact to the comfort and energy performance of single-family, multifamily and nonresidential buildings.
Date: Thursday, August 20, 2026
Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm PST
Location: Zoom
Learning objectives include:
- Analyze how the 2025 Energy Code requirements for fenestration U-factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), Visible Transmittance (VT) and square footage area limitations may impact your designs
- Evaluate how the design and specifications of the fenestration product(s) can impact energy use, comfort and Zero Net Carbon design goals
- Compare the impacts of selecting fenestration products that meet the Energy Code against the ability to meet Zero Net Carbon Design goals
- Recognize how the labeling and certification requirements of the Energy Code impact the viability of certain fenestration products
