5 Architectural Testing D Page 4 of 9 Test Duration: 1. The environmental systems were started at 15:48 hours, 04/22/ The thermal performance test results were derived from 04:09 hours, 04/23/14 to 08:09 hours, 04/23/14. Condensation Resistance Factor (CRF): The following information, condensed from the test data, was used to determine the condensation resistance factor: T h = Warm side ambient air temperature F T c = Cold side ambient air temperature F FT p = Average of pre-specified frame temperatures (14) F FT r = Average of roving thermocouples (4) F W FT = = [(FT p - FT r ) / (FT p - (T c + 10))] x 0.40 FT p (1-W) + W (FT r ) = Frame Temperature F GT = Glass Temperature F CRF g = Condensation resistance factor Glass CRF g = (GT - T c ) / (T h - T c ) x CRF f = Condensation resistance factor Frame 28 CRF f = (FT - T c ) / (T h - T c ) x 100 The CRF number was determined to be 28 (on the size as reported). When reviewing this test data, it should be noted that the frame temperature (FT) was colder than the glass temperature (GT) therefore controlling the CRF number. Refer to the 'CRF Report' page and the 'Thermocouple Location Diagram' page of this report.

At the conclusion of the test, a layer of frost was present on all members of the frame and panel. Prior to testing the specimen was sealed with silicone on the interior side and checked for air infiltration per Section Required annual calibrations for the Architectural Testing Inc. 'thermal test chamber' (ICN ) in Fresno, California were last conducted in May 2013 in accordance with Architectural Testing Inc. calibration procedure. A CTS Calibration verification was performed March A Metering Box Wall Transducer and Surround Panel Flanking Loss Characterization was performed September 2013.
