Choosing the wrong window, door, or skylight rating can mean a failed inspection long before installation ever begins. This course gives you a practical process for specifying products that meet current code and performance requirements — using NAFS/CSA A440S1 ratings, DRWP expectations, and 2024 maximum U-value requirements — so your product selections are compliant from the start.
Module Objectives:
- Module 1: Introduce the practical decision process builders should use before selecting windows, doors, and skylights.
- Module 2: Teach learners how performance grades and driving rain wind pressure requirements shape product selection by region and project conditions.
- Module 3: Enable learners to apply the 2024 maximum U-value requirements to fenestration, doors, and skylights.
- Module 4: Clarify the code exceptions and product-specific requirements that commonly cause confusion during specification.
- Module 5: Give learners practice reading product labels and manufacturer information and matching those ratings to project requirements.
