THERM 6.2
Research Version

April 2008

The Research Versions for WINDOW 6.2 and THERM 6.2 are now available for testing. These programs have been developed to modeling complex glazing systems, in particular venetian blinds.

The algorithms used in the Research Versions of WINDOW6 and THERM6 to determine the properties of windows with shading layers are relatively new and should be considered as informative but not definitive. As such, for windows with shading layers, the results are intended for research purposes only. Pending further validation efforts, results for windows with shading layers should not be used for National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) certified calculations or design decisions in real buildings. All calculations for products without shading layers are identical to those from WINDOW 5.2 and THERM 5.2.
