NFRC's LEAFF Methodology: What Window and Door Manufacturers Need to Know Now
LEAFF (Linear Energy Analysis for Fenestration) is now required for all new and recertified NFRC product lines. This session explains how LEAFF uses trendlines to rate every option from three models per trendline while matching traditional U-factors within ±0.004. It shares first-year results and lessons learned, and covers why correct categorization matters, your options for existing product lines, how to use trendline formulas for R&D, and the move from Condensation Resistance to the dynamic Condensation Index. Bring your questions; time is reserved for Q&A.
