Window-to-Wall Ratios and Opaque Assembly U-Values
CANADIAN APARTMENT INVESTMENT CONFERENCE | SEP 2013 Notes:
- SB-10 counts spandrel as “steel framed walls” requiring U 0.31 (equivalent to approx. R-18)
- Optimal opaque u-values are not achieved with spandrel assemblies
- Walls with better (lower) u-values are impacted more by thermal bridging
- Lower WWRs benefit from higher solar heat gain
- Higher WWRs benefit greatly from lower solar heat gain
- Modifying the SHGC can affect total cooling load by 50%
