21、indows, and unit skylights. These include requirements for glazing, sash, panel, leaf, and frame materials.Clause 11 presents the component requirements applicable to all windows, doors, SSPs, TDDs, roof windows, and unit skylights. These include requirements for hardware, fasteners, weatherstrippin

These include requirements for test specimens, such as product tolerance and qualifying the test specimen for variations of design and assembly.Table 12.2 contains a summary of all performance requirements included in this Standard/Specification. These require

25、nd Grades0.2.1 GeneralThis Standard/Specification defines requirements for four Performance Classes. The Performance Classes are designated R, LC, CW, and AW for windows, doors, and secondary storm products (SSPs). Skylights, roof windows, and TDDs are not identified with a Performance Class, but ar
26、e treated in a way similar to specialty products. This classification system provides for several levels of performance. It is important to note that although general suggestions for use are specified in Items (a) to (d), product selection is always based on the performance requirements of the parti
27、cular project and not solely on these suggestions. The Performance Class ratings should be regarded as an indication of the level of performance, with the least stringent requirements established for the R Performance Class and the most stringent for the AW Performance Class. The following descripti
28、ons can be used as a general guide in helping to determine which class is likely best suited for a particular application:(a) R: commonly used in one- and two-family dwellings.(b) LC: commonly used in low-rise and mid-rise multi-family dwellings and other buildings where larger sizes and higher load
29、ing requirements are expected.(c) CW: commonly used in low-rise and mid-rise buildings where larger sizes, higher loading requirements, limits on deflection, and heavy use are expected.(d) AW: commonly used in high-rise and mid-rise buildings to meet increased loading requirements and limits on defl
30、ection, and in buildings where frequent and extreme use of the fenestration products is expected.Minimum Performance Grades (PG), design pressures (DP), structural test pressures (STP), and water penetration resistance test pressures for all Performance Classes are specified in Table 12.2.Table 0.1

38、 to specified wind load.0.2.4.2Current model building codes require windows, doors, TDDs, roof windows, and unit skylights to be designed and installed to sustain prescribed loads on components and cladding. These loads are affected by a number of factors, including(a) geographic wind speed;(b) buil
39、ding exposure;(c) building height;(d) location of the window, door, TDD, roof window, or unit skylight on the building; and(e) snow load.0.2.4.3Geographic wind speed will affect the overall value of the wind pressure that the window, door, TDD, roof window, or unit skylight will be anticipated to su
40、stain. Positive and negative wind pressures will be increased or decreased with geographic wind speed.0.2.4.4Building exposure will also affect the overall value of the wind pressure, and in addition can affect local conditions across the buildings surface by an increased or decreased presence of wi
41、nd turbulence. Turbulence is caused when the wind is forced to change direction by an object in its path. The building exposure can affect the amount of turbulence based on the number of buildings, objects, or topography immediately surrounding the building. Wind speed increases greatly as height ab
42、ove mean ground level increases, increasing the anticipated wind pressure that the building will be expected to sustain. Exposure also influences the factored snow load that the building surfaces need to resist.0.2.4.5Location of the window, door, SSP, TDD, roof window, or unit skylight on the build
43、ing has the potential of significantly affecting the anticipated wind pressure on a single window, door, SSP, TDD, roof window, or unit skylight. Wind flow patterns are affected by building shape. Wind encountering a building is redirected to flow around and over the building. Wind traveling around
44、the corners of the building separates from the building surface, causing turbulence and local negative structural pressures. Location can also influence the factored drifting or sliding snow loads that the building surfaces need to resist.0.2.4.6Wind loads on components and cladding are not the same
45、 as main wind force-resisting-system (building structure) wind loads, in that components and cladding experience localized higher pressure (peak load) in a relatively small area. Wind gusts can cause short-duration peak pressures on a small area of the buildings surface. The wind pressure calculatio
46、n for components and cladding loads accounts for these American Architectural Manufacturers Association Window the negative wind load will almost always be higher than the positive. As such, codes and building authorities that reference ASCE/SEI 7 or other means of determining positive and negative
47、loads require the product to meet both the positive and negative design constraints of the application. This Standard/Specification incorporates a system for rating windows, doors, SSPs, TDDs, roof windows, and unit skylights with an appropriate separate positive and negative design pressure (DP).No

Generally, improved water penetration resistance and air leakage requirements have been specified for AW products compared to those specified for CW products. AW products are also required to pass the life cycle testing in AAMA 910.0.2.5 Water penetration resistance testing and performance0.2.5.1 GeneralClause 9 specifies that, except for side-hinged door systems, the minimum water penetration resistance test
