Simulation Date: 06/24/98
Report Date: 11/24/98
Expiration Date: 06/24/02
Project Summary: Architectural Testing, Inc., (ATI) was contracted by Chelsea Building
Products to perform window U-factor computer simulations in accordance with the National
Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) 100-97, Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product
U-Factors, using the currently approved Window 4.1 (NFRC Spectral Data Library #5) and
Frame 4.0 modeling programs. The components were analyzed at the York, Pennsylvania, office
using a IBM compatible 486/40M computer.
Simulation Specimen Description:
Series/Model: Hopper
Type: Hopper/Awning Window
Frame Material: Vinyl
Residential Size: 48" wide by 24" high
Non-Residential Size: 40" wide by 40" high
Reinforcement: None
Technical Interpretations: None
Modeling Assumptions:
1. No continuous hardware was modeled.
2. No unusual boundary conditions were used in the modeling.
3. Double glazed options simulated with Low e may be manufactured with Low e on
surface 2 or 3 without changing the product U-factor.

Energy Saving Glass Option
WHAT IS LOW-E GLASS? HOW DOES IT WORK?
Low-E glass is a high performance energy efficient window Heat always flows towards cold. In winter inside heat flows
glass made with an invisible coating that blocks heat flow. to the outdoors and in the summer, heat from the outside
flows into the cooler interior of your home.The special
coating on the Low-E glass helps separate the heat from
the cold by reflecting heat back to heat.
WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE LOW E
IN YOUR NEW WINDOWS.
• Low-E glass keeps heat inside in winter, saving energy and
reducing heating bills.
iI • Low-E glass reduces heat inside in summer so your home
stays cooler, reducing the workload on your air conditioner
r ,���I,
and electric fans.
OUT 's; • Low-E glass eliminates icy cold interior glass surfaces and
s a eliminates cold spots so you don't have to rearrange furniture.
• Low-E glass helps keep the inside glass warmer thereby reduc-
ing condensation and fogging.
Y • Low-E glass reduces damaging UV rays protecting your interior �
£k. drapes, upholstery, furniture and carpeting from early fading. IN
� zsx • Low-E glass is good for the environment. Not only does a
window with Low-E glass use clean abundant free solar
energy, but every window installed with Low-E glass in place
of clear single pane glass saves 250 gallons of oil over the life
of the window.

CBA CERTIFICATION . . . . . . , , . , . ,
Don't Settle for Less
WHY IS CBA CERTIFICATION SO IMPORTANT?
The windows in your home are approximately 85%glass and one of the largest sources of heat and cold transfer
through your home.With the wide fluctuations of temperature and humidity changes that take place, it is important
the best spacer system be used. This is why we've chosen to obtain the highest insulated glass rating obtainable in
the industry today. Additionally, whether using our superior insulated clear glass or combining optional low-E,
argon gas,we insure the best manufacturing principles have been met and will continue to be met.
MEASURED DURABILITY
National Vinyl's Insulating Glass Units withstood over 250 six hour cycles of severe weathering, enduring weeks of
extreme simulated weather cycling including high humidity, UV and extreme levels of water spray in temperatures
ranging from -20°F to +140° F. SIGMA, the Sealed Insulating Glass Manufactures Association, published a study
showing that insulated glass units which met the performance level of CBA lasted longer in service than insulating
glass units using lower performance standards.Also, the study shows insulated glass units that do not pass any
