. 在标准化测试条件下测量的试样性能可能不同于安装在室外建筑物墙壁上的同一开窗产品的性能。标准化测试条件通常代表极端的夏季或冬季设计条件,这可能不同于安装在外墙上的开窗产品通常经历的平均条件。为了进行比较,必须使用校准传递标准(CTS)上的表面传热系数进行校准,这些系数尽可能接近建筑设计的常规接受值;
然而,该程序可在其他条件下用于研究目的或产品开发。
4.4
类似地,希望有一个与安装开窗系统的实际墙壁完全相同的环绕面板。由于北美住宅、商业和工业建筑中有各种各样的开窗系统开口,因此选择典型的围板结构来安装开窗系统试样是不可行的。此外,对于安装在具有热桥的开窗设计和施工中的高阻力开窗系统,通过热桥的相对大量传热将导致通过开窗系统的相对少量传热产生大于预期的误差。
因此,校准转移标准和试样安装在由具有相对较高热阻的材料制成的均质环绕面板中。将试样安装在相对较高的热阻环绕板中,将测试重点放在门窗系统的热性能上。因此,重要的是要认识到,从本试验方法中获得的热透射比结果适用于理想的实验室条件,并且只应用于门窗产品的比较,除非分析中包括由于门窗系统开口的特定设计和施工而可能发生的热桥效应。
4.5
本试验方法不包括确定由于空气通过试样或太阳辐射效应而产生的热流的程序。
因此,获得的热透射比结果并不反映现场安装预期的性能。可以使用该测试方法的结果作为年度能源性能分析的输入,包括太阳能和空气泄漏效应,以更好地估计试样安装在实际建筑物中时的性能。要确定开窗产品的太阳能热增益系数,请参阅NFRC 200。要确定门窗的漏气量,请参阅测试方法

,即使这些实验室在其校准传递标准上测量了相同的表面传热系数,安装在不同实验室的同一试样上的局部表面传热系数也可能存在显著变化。
NFRC进行的实验室间比较表明,如果使用标准化热透射率而不是热透射率进行比较,则这种变化的影响会降低。标准化透热率也是评估和比较开窗系统实验结果与计算机计算透热率的有用工具。之所以这样做,是因为在标准化条件下测试时,当前历史上用于确定热透射比的计算机计算方法(NFRC 100)无法应用试样上存在的实际表面传热系数。这些当前的计算机计算方法假设室内和室外开窗产品表面存在统一的标准化表面传热系数。
虽然下一代计算机模拟程序包括改进的辐射传热算法,该算法生成非均匀表面传热系数,但在将测试结果与计算机建模结果进行比较时,标准化热透射比仍然是一个有用的工具。

1.1
This test method covers requirements and guidelines and specifies calibration procedures required for the measurement of the steady-state thermal transmittance of fenestration systems installed vertically in the test chamber. This test method specifies the necessary measurements to be made using measurement systems conforming to Test Method
C1363
for determination of fenestration system thermal transmittance.
Note 1:
This test method allows the testing of projecting fenestration products (that is, garden windows, skylights, and roof windows) installed vertically in a surround panel. Current research on skylights, roof windows, and projecting products hopefully will provide additional information that can be added to the next version of this test method so that skylight and roof windows can be tested horizontally or at some angle typical of a sloping roof.
1.2
This test method refers to the thermal transmittance,
U
of a fenestration system installed vertically in the absence of solar radiation and air leakage effects.
Note 2:
The methods described in this document may also be adapted for use in determining the thermal transmittance of sections of building wall, and roof and floor assemblies containing thermal anomalies, which are smaller than the hot box metering area.
1.3
This test method describes how to determine the thermal transmittance,
U
S
of a fenestration product (also called test specimen) at well-defined environmental conditions. The thermal transmittance is also a reported test result from Test Method
C1363
. If only the thermal transmittance is reported using this test method, the test report must also include a detailed description of the environmental conditions in the thermal chamber during the test as outlined in
10.1.14
.
1.4
For rating purposes, this test method also describes how to calculate a standardized thermal transmittance,
U
ST
, which can be used to compare test results from laboratories with vastly different thermal chamber configurations, and facilitates the comparison to results from computer programs that use standard heat transfer coefficients to determine the thermal transmittance of fenestration products. Although this test method specifies two methods of calculating the standardized thermal transmittance, only the standardized thermal transmittance result from one method is reported for each test. One standardized thermal transmittance calculation procedure is the Calibration Transfer Standard (CTS) Method and another is the Area Weighting (AW) Method (see Section
9
for further descriptions of these two methods). The Area Weighting method requires that the surface temperatures on both sides of the test specimen be directly measured as specified in Practice
E1423
in order to determine the surface heat transfer coefficients on the fenestration product during the test. The CTS Method does not use the measured surface temperatures on the test specimen and instead utilizes the calculation of equivalent surface temperatures from calibration data to determine the test specimen surface heat transfer coefficients. The AW shall be used whenever the thermal transmittance,
U
S
, is greater than 3.4 W/(m
2
·K) [0.6 Btu/(hr·ft
2
·°F)], or when the ratio of test specimen projected surface area to wetted (that is, total heat transfer or developed) surface area on either side of the test specimen is less than 0.80. Otherwise the CTS Method shall be used to standardize the thermal transmittance results.
1.5
A discussion of the terminology and underlying assumptions for measuring the thermal transmittance are included.
1.6
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.
1.7
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.8
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
====== Significance And Use ======
4.1
This test method details the calibration and testing procedures and necessary additional temperature instrumentation required in applying Test Method
C1363
to measure the thermal transmittance of fenestration systems mounted vertically in the thermal chamber.
4.2
The thermal transmittance of a test specimen is affected by its size and three-dimensional geometry. Care must be exercised when extrapolating to product sizes smaller or larger than the test specimen. Therefore, it is recommended that fenestration systems be tested at the recommended sizes specified in Practice
E1423
or NFRC 100.
4.3
Since both temperature and surface heat transfer coefficient conditions affect results, use of recommended conditions will assist in reducing confusion caused by comparing results of tests performed under dissimilar conditions. Standardized test conditions for determining the thermal transmittance of fenestration systems are specified in Practice
E1423
and Section
6.2
. The performance of a test specimen measured at standardized test conditions is potentially different than the performance of the same fenestration product when installed in the wall of a building located outdoors. Standardized test conditions often represent extreme summer or winter design conditions, which are potentially different than the average conditions typically experienced by a fenestration product installed in an exterior wall. For the purpose of comparison, it is essential to calibrate with surface heat transfer coefficients on the Calibration Transfer Standard (CTS) which are as close as possible to the conventionally accepted values for building design; however, this procedure can be used at other conditions for research purposes or product development.
4.4
Similarly, it would be desirable to have a surround panel that closely duplicates the actual wall where the fenestration system would be installed. Since there are such a wide variety of fenestration system openings in North American residential, commercial and industrial buildings, it is not feasible to select a typical surround panel construction for installing the fenestration system test specimen. Furthermore, for high resistance fenestration systems installed in fenestration opening designs and constructions that have thermal bridges, the large relative amount of heat transfer through the thermal bridge will cause the relatively small amount of heat transfer through the fenestration system to have a larger than desirable error. For this reason, the Calibration Transfer Standard and test specimen are installed in a homogeneous surround panel constructed from materials having a relatively high thermal resistance. Installing the test specimen in a relatively high thermal resistance surround panel places the focus of the test on the fenestration system thermal performance alone. Therefore, it is important to recognize that the thermal transmittance results obtained from this test method are for ideal laboratory conditions, and should only be used for fenestration product comparisons unless the thermal bridge effects that have the potential to occur due to the specific design and construction of the fenestration system opening are included in the analysis.
4.5
This test method does not include procedures to determine the heat flow due to either air movement through the specimen or solar radiation effects. As a consequence, the thermal transmittance results obtained do not reflect performances that are expected from field installations. It is possible to use the results from this test method as input to annual energy performance analyses which include solar, and air leakage effects to get a better estimate of how the test specimen would perform when installed in an actual building. To determine the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of fenestration products, refer to NFRC 200. To determine air leakage for windows and doors, refer to Test Methods
E283
and
E783
.
4.6
It is important to recognize that the thermal transmittance,
U
S
, value determined in Section
8
is the only true experimental measurement result of this test method. The “standardized” thermal transmittance value,
U
ST
, obtained by either the Calibration Transfer Standard (CTS) or Area Weighting (AW) methods described in Section
8
include adjustments to the thermal transmittance value bases on results from calibration runs described in Section
6
. The standardized thermal transmittance is useful for two reasons; it facilitates comparison of test results between different laboratories with different thermal chamber geometries and configurations, and it improves the comparison between test results and computer simulation results. Due to the differences in size, geometry, and climate chamber air flow permitted by this test method, Test Method
C1363
, and Practice
E1423
, there can be significant variations in the local surface heat transfer coefficients on the same test specimen installed in different laboratories even though these laboratories measured identical surface heat transfer coefficients on their Calibration Transfer Standards. Inter-Laboratory Comparisons conducted by the NFRC have shown that the effect of this variation is reduced if the standardized thermal transmittance is used for comparison instead of the thermal transmittance. The standardized thermal transmittance is also a useful tool for the evaluation and comparison of experimental results of fenestration systems with computer calculations of the thermal transmittance. that are made because the current Historically, computer calculation methods (NFRC 100) for determining the thermal transmittance were not capable of applying the actual surface heat transfer coefficients that exist on the test specimen while testing at standardized conditions. These current computer calculation methods assumed that uniform standardized surface heat transfer coefficients exist on the indoor and outdoor fenestration product surfaces. Although the next generation of computer simulation programs includes improved radiation heat transfer algorithms, which generate non-uniform surface heat transfer coefficients, the standardized thermal transmittance remains to be a useful tool when comparing test results to computer modeling results.
4.6.1
It is important to recognize that due to radiation effects, the room side or weather side temperature (
t
h
and
t
c
, respectively), has the potential to differ from the respective room side or weather side baffle temperatures (
t
b1
and
t
b2
, respectively). If there is a difference of more than ±1 °C (±2 °F), either on the room side or weather side, the radiation effects shall be accounted for as described in Sections
6
and
9
to maintain accuracy in the calculated surface heat transfer coefficients. Calculating the radiation exchange for highly conductive test specimens or projecting fenestration products as described in
Annex A2
is not a trivial task.
4.6.2
The calculation of the standardized thermal transmittance assumes that only the surface heat transfer coefficients change from the calibrated standardized values for the conditions of the test. This assumption is possibly not valid if the surface temperature differentials for the standardized calibration conditions are different from the surface temperature differential that exists on the test specimen during the test. Currently, specifications for the Calibration Transfer Standard give it a thermal transmittance of 1.7 W/(m
2
·K) [0.3 Btu/(hr·ft
2
·°F)]. Accordingly, the calculation of the standardized thermal transmittance produces the least error when performed on test specimens with a similar thermal transmittance.
4.6.3
It is important to note that the standardized surface heat transfer coefficients,
h
h
and
h
c
, as calibrated prior to testing a fenestration product using an appropriately sized Calibration Transfer Standard (CTS) have the potential to differ from the surface heat transfer coefficients that exist during a hot box test on a specific test specimen. Fenestration systems usually have frame and sash surfaces that introduce two- and three-dimensional convective heat transfer effects which result in variable surface heat transfer coefficients, which differ from the uniform standardized values. As a result of this, the test specimen surface heat transfer coefficients will differ from those obtained with the non-framed, essentially flat Calibration Transfer Standard tested under the same conditions. In this standardizing procedure, it is assumed that the differences are small enough so that the calibration surface heat transfer coefficients can be used to calculate equivalent test specimen average surfaces temperatures,
t
1
and
t
2
, in order to estimate the actual test specimen surface heat transfer coefficients. It is important to recognize that this assumption will not be accurate for all fenestration products, especially for high thermal transmittance products where the surface heat transfer coefficients are a major portion of the overall thermal resistance and also for fenestration products with significant surface projections (for example, skylights, roof windows, garden windows) where the surface heat transfer coefficients are quite different from the standardized values.
4.6.4
In these situations, it is important to attempt to measure the test specimen surface temperature distributions and then calculate directly the test specimen average area weighted surfaces temperatures,
t
1
and
t
2
. This area weighting (AW) method also has problems in that the placement of temperature sensors to get an accurate area weighting is not known, especially on high conductivity horizontal surfaces that act as heat transfer extended surfaces (that is, fins). In addition, the placement of many temperature sensors on the test specimen surfaces will affect the velocity fields in the vicinity of these surfaces which will affect the surface temperatures and surface heat transfer coefficients.
