Window Thermal Performance Standards

This document provides an overview of standards for calculating and measuring the thermal performance of windows. It outlines several European (EN) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards that define calculation methods for determining U-values and thermal bridges in windows. It also lists measurement methods like hot box tests that can be used to physically test the thermal performance of complete window systems, frames, and other window components. The standards aim to establish consistent ways to assess the overall thermal performance of window systems.
