Energy Efficiency The Space Gas fills measurably improve thermal performance of any glazing system. Argon Gas: Lower conductivity insulates better than air Sunlight stable, non-corrosive and nontoxic Chemically inert to UV radiation Krypton Gas: Lowest conductivity of any gas used Raises the inner glazing temperature Inert to glass coatings, heat and spacers Performs best in small chambers, therefore we recommend Krypton gas fill in our ComforTech triple glazed units The Edge Up to + 16.6 F warmer temperature at the edge of the glass Outside temperature of 0 F Inside temperature of 70 F ± 2 F ± 2 F 42.0 F - sealed with butyl 35.1 F DuraSeal - single seal 33.2 F XL Edger - PIB and silicone 31.6 F Intercept - sealed with butyl 30.6 F Swiggle - single seal 25.4 F Aluminum spacer sealed - with PIB and polysulphide Simulations performed by Enermodal Engineering, Ltd. using Window 5.2 and Therm 5.2 as per NFRC 100-2001.

XL Edge is a trademark of Cardinal Glass Industries Intercept is a registered trademark of PPG Industries, Inc. Swiggle is a registered trademark of TruSeal Technologies, Inc. Durability The Seal The P-1 test is considered to be the world s toughest durability test. All units are put into hot boxes and are continuously exposed to 140 F, 95-100% humidity and constant UV bombardment. Each week of testing is equivalent to one year of field use. Appearance The Performance Why Less Condensation Is Important Window condensation is unsightly and can damage wood trim and walls. In winter, many people humidify their homes. If they didn t, health and skin complexions would suffer. However, increasing humidity can cause window condensation. Condensation can also be caused by traditional, highly-conductive metal spacers, leading to lower perimeter edge temperatures. As a result, negative consequences can occur such as: Damaged wood, peeling paint and rotting frames Can contribute to mold growth Looks unsightly
The Rating National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit, public/private organization created by the window, door and skylight industry. NFRC s primary goal is to provide accurate information to measure and compare the energy performance of window, door, or skylight systems. NFRC Label Displays: U-Factor Insulating value of the entire window system. Lower numbers reflect better insulating value. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) Amount of heat from the sun passing through the glass. Lower numbers show glass is keeping heat from entering your home. Visible Transmittance Amount of visible light passing through the glass. Higher numbers show glass is allowing more light to enter your home. Air Infiltration How much air is entering or escaping through the window. Lower numbers show air is kept from entering or escaping. Condensation Resistance Amount of moisture it takes for glass to condensate when exposed to extreme interior and exterior temperature changes. Higher numbers show better resistance to condensation. ENERGY STAR / NFRC Labeling ProVia's top window brands have been recognized as Most Efficient of ENERGY STAR 2017. ProVia's recognition from ENERGY STAR allows homeowners to choose a window style that meets ENERGY STAR Certified criteria in their climate zones or nationwide. Visit provia.com for a complete listing of our window brands and styles that have been recognized as Most Efficient of ENERGY STAR 2017. In addition to having several windows recognized by ENERGY STAR, our window lines are also among the best in the market for air infiltration and condensation resistance. In 2017, ProVia has been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency with the Sustained Excellence Award for Door and Window Manufacturing. This is ProVia s tenth award from ENERGY STAR. What is The Solution? The NO-Metal Advantage! Keep the moisture off the glass, through the warmest inside surface temperatures possible. Full Metal Spacer With conventional metal spacers, condensation is a fact of life. Less Metal Spacer Mid-performance spacer systems that still contain metal improve condensation resistance. NO-Metal All-foam design dramatically reduces interior condensation, delivering a clear view.

Also available: Glass with increased UV Protection! Cooler in Summer: SHGC* for DLA-UV is 66% better than clear glass and 30% better than DLA. Increased Fade Protection: DWT** for DLA-UV is 43% better than clear glass and 23% better than DLA. * SHGC = Solar Heat Gain Coefficient. ** DWT - Damage Weighted Transmittance, is calculated according to a function called Tdw-ISO, developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and published by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), the world s leading technical organization on lighting and illumination. The Tdw-ISO calculation measures fading risk from solar radiation across the entire solar light spectrum, from Ultra-Violet light (280-380 nanometers) through visible light (390-780 nanometers). According to the CIE standard, which is considered more comprehensive than Ultra-Violet rating alone, our UV glass packages can minimize fading damage across the entire solar spectrum more effectively than glassdesigned primarily to block Ultra-Violet light. - All calculations based on 7 8" thick, double glazed, single strength IG units using NFRC methodology with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory s Window 6.3 software.
