Vitro Architectural Glass has introduced ����������Բ��󲹳��ٴǰ�™, a digital tool that allows users to quickly evaluate Total Assembly Performance (TAP) of insulating glass units (IGUs) in architects’ future builds.

“����������Բ��󲹳��ٴǰ�™ is an essential tool that serves as a guide for users to evaluate performance data for both glazing and framing options when planning upcoming projects,” said Fernando Diez, Vice President of Marketing at Vitro Architectural Glass. “By calculating TAP based on key project details – such as project name, framing system type and framing performance –����������Բ��󲹳��ٴǰ�™ empowers architects to make informed early decisions that align with energy efficiency objectives and regional building code requirements.”

����������Բ��󲹳��ٴǰ�™ also includes a custom sizing feature designed to accommodate unique project dimensions with ease and critical performance metrics such as Visible Light Transmittance (VLT), Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) and winter U-value.

Powered by Vitro’s proprietary product data and performance metrics from the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), ����������Բ��󲹳��ٴǰ�™ delivers project-specific calculations. This eliminates the need for manual entry of center-of-glass values, streamlining the process and reducing complexity. By referencing the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) map embedded in the tool, users can ensure regional compliance while meeting their project's energy efficiency targets.

Developed with insights from internal technical service teams and external consultants, ����������Բ��󲹳��ٴǰ�™ continues to evolve, redefining how architects and fabricators approach performance analysis with greater efficiency and accuracy.

Please note that ����������Բ��󲹳��ٴǰ�™ is a helpful guide for early-stage planning. The tool should not be relied upon for precise energy calculations or official submissions.
