NFRC Information
NFRC Data for Minnkota Windows and Doors
NFRC Ratings
The table below illustrates the NFRC data for Minnkota Windows and Doors. The following terms are used in NFRC data and are defined as follows:
U-Factor: Rate of heat loss. The lower the U-Factor, the greater a window's resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating properties.
SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient): The fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through a window. It's expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower the SHGC, the less solar heat it transmits.
VT (Visible Transmittance): An optical property that indicates the fraction of visible light transmitted through the window. The lower the number, the greater amount of "tint" appearing in the glass.
AI (Air Infiltration): The unintentional, or accidental, introduction of outside air into a building, typically through cracks in the building envelope and through use of doors for passage. Also known as air leakage. Number given is a measurement of cubic feet per minute by square feet.
