Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Facade Testing Myths: Why Ratings Don’t Guarantee Performance featuring Eliot Benor
Q: How should energy performance be evaluated—U-values vs. whole-assembly performance?
Prescriptive codes are helpful, but true envelope performance comes from holistic assessment, including air barriers, insulation continuity, and window-receptor interfaces; avoid relying solely on U-values and isolated glazing performance to judge a building's energy use.
Facade Testing Myths: Why Ratings Don’t Guarantee Performance featuring Eliot Benor
Q: What should professionals do to improve outcomes on real projects?
Engage early with application engineers, perform field testing or rapid in-situ checks, and insist on sharing failures to inform corrections; use comprehensive guidance documents and involve facade consultants for complex sites.
Facade Testing Myths: Why Ratings Don’t Guarantee Performance featuring Eliot Benor
Q: Why can a window that tests well still leak in the building in which it's installed?
Leaks often originate from workmanship or design flaws at interfaces (sills, gaskets, corner seals) and from improper installation, not just from the window's rated performance; field conditions introduce variabilities the lab doesn't replicate.
Facade Testing Myths: Why Ratings Don’t Guarantee Performance featuring Eliot Benor
Q: What is the relationship between lab testing and field performance for windows and envelopes?
Lab tests establish a baseline and certification confidence, but field performance hinges on installation details, interfaces, and site conditions; certifications can't guarantee perfect real-world results without proper installation and QA.
All Things Facades Podcast — Facades+ Seattle Edition
Q: What are some factors that affect edge of glass performance?
Certain factors are often overlooked when modeling the whole window performance, such as the longevity of the seal and how it reacts to day-to-day weather conditions.
