National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) Test 201
The solar heat gain study showed a 50% reduction in heat transfer through the treated window.
In a realistic representation of performance in a home or office setting, the material was placed over a double pane window, in a Calorimeter Hot Box. Data was collected over a period of days in Fresno, CA
