Average of pre-specified frame temperatures (14)
The thermal performance test results were derived from 04:05 hours, 01/03/13 to 08:05hours, 01/03/13.
The environmental systems were started at 16:10 hours, 01/02/13.
FT
The CRF number was determined to be 57 (on the size as reported). When reviewing thistest data, it should be noted that the frame temperature (FT) was colder than the glasstemperature (GT) therefore controlling the CRF number. Refer to the 'CRF Report' pageand the 'Thermocouple Location Diagram' page of this report.

Required annual calibrations for the Architectural Testing Inc. 'thermal test chamber' (ICN000001) in York, Pennsylvania were last conducted in May 2012 in accordance withArchitectural Testing Inc. calibration procedure. A CTS Calibration verification was performedJune 2012. A Metering Box Wall Transducer and Surround Panel Flanking LossCharacterization was performed December 2012.

Prior to testing the specimen was sealed with silicone on the interior side and checked for airinfiltration per Section 9.3.4.
The sample was inspected for the formation of frost or condensation, which may influence thesurface temperature measurements. The sample showed no evidence of condensation/frost atthe conclusion of the test.
