Content Description

Pultruded Fiberglass Windows, 2024
CEU: 0.2 | CEU Code: IF-EN-139306-0224

Window frames offer many important benefits for buildings, especially when it comes to energy and environmental performance, and frame material selection is a critical aspect of the design process. This course discusses pultruded fiberglass window systems and compares them with traditional wood, aluminum, and PVC window systems across a wide variety of performance attributes.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain the fiberglass pultrusion process and the properties of pultruded fiberglass that make it an ideal product for the fenestration industry.
  • Compare and evaluate the performance characteristics'thermal expansion and conductivity, and material strength and longevity'of fiberglass, wood, aluminum, and PVC window systems, and determine their impact on the design goals of a project and the environment.
  • Compare fiberglass window systems to wood, aluminum, and PVC window systems in terms of their green characteristics, including embodied energy, energy efficiency, toxicity, and indoor and outdoor environmental issues.
  • Describe the AAMA performance standards, the National Fenestration Council's procedures and ratings, and the ENERGY STAR program, and use these standards and ratings to specify product type based on performance level and key performance attributes.

Faculty BIO

George Casselman has been in the window industry for over 40 years in positions in management, sales, and product design and testing. He has actively participated in formulating windows industry standards, holding the positions of chairman of the Canadian Advisory Committee to the International Standards Organization (ISO), ex-chairman of the CSA Group Technical Committee on the Performance Standard for Windows, member of the American Architectural Manufacturing Association (AAMA), founding member and ex-chairman of the Ontario Building Envelope Council, and member of the Canadian Hospital Engineering Society. He has written papers related to the window industry in trade magazines, been a public speaker for the window industry and government, and taught courses related to windows and material engineering to universities and colleges.
