Openings: • Windows and doors • Major impact on the house’s • appearance • Many Style options
Windows and Doors: Major part of …. • The comfort / safety of the house • Energy performance of the house • Many of them (Multiples) with variables = Scheduled
Windows & Doors Doors - Labeled on plans with number inside circle Windows – Labeled on plans with letter inside octagon or triangle …Labels refers back to a schedule
Window Sections Typical Section details Head (top) Jamb (side) Sill (base) R.O. (ROUGH OPNG.) F.O. (FINISH OPNG.)
Window Schedule • Size 6040 = 6’ W x 4’ L • (or hgt.) • Type - Operation • Glazing – glass type • Material – frame type
WINDOWS 4 Ways to Evaluate • U-FACTOR • Solar Heat Gain Coefficient • Visible Transmittance • Air Leakage
U-FACTOR U-FACTOR The rate of heat loss is indicated in terms of the U-Factor of a window assembly. The insulating value is indicated by the R-Value which is the inverse of the U-Value. The lower the U-Value the greater a windows resistance to heat flow and the better the insulating value.
Solar Heat Gain COEFFICIENT The SHGC is the fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through a window. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a windows solar heat gain coefficient, the less solar heat it transmits.
VisibleTransmittance The visible transmittance is an optical property that indicates the amount of visible light transmitted. Theoretical values vary between 0 and 1, but most values are between 0.3 and 0.8
Air Leakage Heat loss and gain occur by infiltration through cracks in the window assembly. Air leakage is expressed in cubic feet of air passing through a square foot of window area. .3 is recommended for Oregon
Low-E Windows • Glass is coated with silver or tin oxide which allows visible light to pass through but reflects infrared heat radiation back into the room. • Reduces heat loss in cool climates • Allows visible light to pass through but reflects infrared heat radiation away from the room, admits up to 40% less radiant heat from the sun. • Reduces heat gain in warm climates
High number for cold climate. Low number for warm climates The lower the number the better the insulating value Varies from 0 to 1.0 The higher the # the more light is transmitted. The best windows have air leakage rating between 0.1 and 0.6 cfm/ft.
Double-Glazed with High Solar Gain Low-E Glass, Argon/Krypton Gas
Triple-Glazed** with Moderate Solar Gain Low-E Glass, Argon/Krypton Gas
Windows used for Egress when there is Fire Codes regulate size & location
Flashing ...at window head and at sloped sill Window in section view …All efforts to direct water away from exterior bldg. wall
Door Head Jamb Sill
Example of Finish item found in Schedule – Trim ….Base (of wall) Trim details • Crown (at ceiling) • Base (at floor) • Casing (around openings) • Wainscot (mid wall)
