U-VALUE 1 2
U-value measures the rate of heat flow through the glazing by conduction, convection and re-radiation. It does not measure heat transfer by
the Sun’s direct transmittance as measured by the SHGC. It is a rating system used almost exclusively by the window/glass industry worldwide.
Other industries use the “R” value for measuring insulation. U-value is measured in watts per square metre per degree Celsius (Wm2K) difference.
The amount of heat energy transferred as measured by the U-value can be calculated by taking for example 4mm clear float with a U-value of
5.9w/m2°C and multiplying the difference between outdoor and indoor temperature (32°C outside and 24°C inside = 8°C) > 5.9 x 8°C = 47watts
per m2 heat transferred between the outside and inside. The lower the U-value the better the thermal insulation properties of the glazing system.

The U-value is the reciprocal of the “R” value and either can be calculated from the other e.g. U = 1/R or R = 1/U.
outside inside
U and R values are variable and dependent upon climatic conditions. That means that the transmittance
outside insideof heat through a glazing system
changes. Therefore glass transmits heat at varying rates depending upon the prevailing climatic condition. When comparing glazing systems
2the 3
based upon U-value, it is important that the climatic conditions used to model all the systems are same. The standard climate conditions
used to calculate U-values in this catalogue are based upon NFRC 100 – 2010 methodology. 2 3

GLASS SURFACE POSITIONS 1 4
Low-E coated glass products have a simple numbering system which determines the position of the
1 coating once installed in the window or
door opening eg., #1,2,3,4. This also determines how the following performance data is calculated.
