Join our chapter, IMI and BEC-MN for a presentation for Architects, construction teams, and subcontractors to understand the varying performance between glazing assemblies, how building performance requirements are determined from a prescriptive approach, and glazing tests to validate performance.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand fenestration classifications.
2. Identify performance requirements for each fenestration classification.
3. Understand laboratory and field tests to validate fenestration performance.
4. Review typical fenestration failure mechanisms.
