Another critical NFRC test is for SolarHeat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This procedure measures how well a productblocks heat caused by sunlight. Again,the lower the number, the less solar heatthe window transmits into the home.The above chart clearly shows how the performance of Swing & CleanWindows can be enhanced with theaddition of various ClimaTech insulatedglass packages.

ClimaTech. . . your solution for increased window performance.

Our optional ClimaTech insulated glass package combines multi-layeredlow-emissivity (Low-E) glass, argon gas† and the PPG Intercept Warm-EdgeSpacer System. ClimaTech is up to 40% more energy-efficient than singleor clear insulated glass systems.

Swing & Clean Windows with ClimaTechexceed the performance requirements set forth by the U.S. Department ofEnergy in conjunction with the NationalFenestration Rating Council (NFRC) testcriteria.

One of the most critical NFRC testsmeasures the rate of heat loss through awindow or door (U-Factor). The lowerthe U-Factor, the better the product is atresisting heat flow, which results in aproduct with a greater insulating value.

Low-E glass filters long-wave radiationfrom the sun. This reduces solar heatgain from the summer sun, helping tokeep your home cooler.

Low-E glass takes on a new duty inwinter months. It lets warm solar raysinto your home, while preventing indoorheat from escaping.
