Jeff Baker (left) led the Technical Committee meeting this morning as it  approved moving forward to NFRC’s Board of Directors a motion that would allow rating certain shading devices under the NFRC 100 and NFRC 200.

The proposed change includes products that use shading systems integral to the product as shipped from the manufacturer, including dynamic attachments for swinging doors.

Also included under the proposed change is dynamic glazing such as electorchromic products and certain non-specular transmittance products such as frits, translucent fiberglass, and etched glass. It does not apply, however, to aftermarket items.
