SEMINAR OUTLINE:
This seminar sponsored by Fenestration Canada will provide builders, architects, engineers, and fenestration industry professionals with a solid understanding of the critical issues on fenestration related topics that they face on a daily basis.
The seminar will focus on five key areas:
• What is the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS) and how has it changed code compliance in Ontario?
• Beyond R-values – What fenestration characteristics define thermal performance?
• Easy ways to comply with Ontario’s SB12 energy code.
• Net-zero houses – why fenestration technology matters so much?
• The newest fenestration technology – vacuum glazing, smart glass and other technologies
