NFRC Thermal Performance Certification Program Print
National Fenestration Rating CounsilKeystone’s NFRC Certification Program is licensed by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) and offers fenestration (window and door) manufacturers a third party verified, nationally-recognized method for demonstrating product U Factor, Solar Heat Gain and other thermal performance characteristics.

Fenestration product NFRC thermal performance ratings are specified by the International Code Council (ICC) building codes, including the “International Residential Code” (IRC), the “International Energy Conservation Code” (IECC), and the “International Building Code” (IBC).  Code-required thermal performance varies depending on climate.

NFRC ratings and certification are also used to demonstrate compliance with the US DOE’s Energy Star Windows Program and other utility and tax rebate program requirements.

A Getting Started Checklist is available for fenestration manufacturers looking for more guidance in certifying thermal performance. For more specific guidance, follow the contact us links at the bottom of this page.
