The products were evaluated in full compliance with NFRC requirements to the standards listed below. *NFRC's Condensation Resistance rating is NOT equivalent to a Condensation Resistance Factor (CRF) determined in accordance with AAMA Standards: NFRC : Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product U-Factors NFRC : Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product Solar Heat Gain Coefficient and Visible Transmittance at Normal Incidence NFRC : Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product Condensation Resistance Values Software: Frame and Edge Modeling: THERM Center-of-Glass Modeling: WINDOW Total Product Calculations: WINDOW Spectral Data Library: 17.2 Simulations Specimen Description: Series/Model: 6700/ 6750/ 7700/ 8700/ 8750 Type: Sliding Glass Door, Sliding Glass Door (XX or OX) Frame Material: VY Vinyl Sash Material: VP Vinyl w/ Reinforcement - Partial Standard Size: 2000mm x 2000mm 849 Western Avenue North St. Paul, MN phone: fax:

3 Architectural Testing Page 2 of 11 Reissue Date: 02/01/10 Technical Interpretations: 1) Glazing beads were changed to allow for glazing unit variations, per NFRC , section D. Modeling Assumptions: 1) Dividers were not modeled for DS options because there was at 3mm of air space between the divider and both adjacent glazing surfaces per NFRC section B. Specialty Products Table: The specialty products method allow the manufacturer to determine the overall product SHGC and VT for any glazing option. The center of glass SHGC and/or VT must be determined using WINDOW 5.2. The method gives overall product SHGC and VT indexed on center of glass properties. All values used in the calculations are truncated to six decimal place precision. No Dividers Dividers < 1 Dividers > 1 SHGC SHGC VT VT SHGC = SHGC0 + SHGCc (SHGC1 - SHGC0) VT = VT0 + VTc (VT1 - VT0) Validation Matrix: The following products are part of a validation matrix. Only one is required for validation Product Line Report Number None -

Ratings values included in this report are for submittals to an NFRC-licensed IA and are not meant to be used directly for labeling purposes. Only those values identified on a valid Certification Authorization Report (CAR) by an NFRC accredited Inspection Agency (IA) are to be used for labeling purposes. The ratings values were rounded in accordance to NFRC 601, NFRC Unit and Measurement Policy. Architectural Testing is an NFRC accredited simulation laboratory and all simulations were conducted in full compliance with NFRC approved procedures and specifications. The NFRC procedure requires that the computational results be verified through actual test results. Detailed drawings, simulation data files, a copy of this report, or other pertinent project documentation will be retained by Architectural Testing, Inc. for a period of four years from the original test date. At the end of this retention period, such materials shall be discarded without notice and the service life of this report will expire.
