10-112 Criteria for Default Tables

1. The Commission shall maintain tables of default U-factors and SHGCs for use as an alternative to U-factors and SHGCs derived based on the NFRC Rating Procedure. The default values shall meet the following criteria:

   1. The values shall be derived from simulations of products using the same computer simulation program(s) used in the NFRC Rating Procedure.
   2. The default values shall be set so that they do not provide to any significant number of products a lower U-factor or SHGC than those products would obtain if they were rated using the full NFRC Rating Procedure.
2. The Commission shall periodically review and revise the default tables as necessary to ensure that the criteria are met.
