AAMA 507-15 establishes standard practice for determining the thermal performance of building-specific fenestration systems installed in commercial buildings. It addresses U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient, visible transmittance, air leakage, and condensation resistance factor, with procedures for product lines, system-specific ratings, building-specific calculations, rating certificates, and conservative representative values for generic framing systems.
The document is intended for manufacturers, architects, builders, code authorities, and other professionals who need a consistent basis for evaluating the energy-related performance of glazed commercial fenestration products.
Application Scope: Applicable to glazed fenestration systems in commercial buildings, including windows, curtain walls, window walls, sloped glazing, storefronts, doors, and related glazed products; it does not cover fenestration products intended for low-rise residential applications.
