AWS CPD - Windows and Doors–Designing for Energy Efficiency

We are thrilled to have Arnal Shyam, an esteemed Specification Consultant from Architectural Window Systems (AWS), guide us through the essentials of designing with energy-efficient windows and doors.

This CPD will cover critical aspects such as:

• U-values: Understanding thermal performance and its impact on energy efficiency.
• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): How to balance natural light and heat gain to optimize indoor comfort and energy use.
• Frame Materials: Exploring different materials and their effects on the overall energy performance of windows and doors.
• WERS Database: Utilizing the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) database for informed decision-making and specification.

This session is a must-attend for architects interested in improving the energy efficiency of their designs. Don't miss the opportunity to enhance your knowledge.
