All NFRC Certified Simulators (CS) are invited to attend the training and successfully pass exams to achieve the advanced tier status of Linear Energy Analysis For Fenestration (LEAFF) Certified Simulator (LCS).

The National Fenestration Rating Council is currently in the pilot program for the LEAFF process that will greatly reduce the time needed for simulating, helping get innovative new windows, doors, and skylights to market faster.

The new methodology leverages the simulation process NFRC has used for 30 years of producing fair, accurate, and credible ratings that measure the energy efficiency of fenestration products. 

The LEAFF trendline methodology uses product line characteristics to determine trendlines that replace the need to run numerous simulations separately that determine the product’s performance with different options (such as glazing and frame types).

To become a LEAFF Certified Simulator (LCS), ATTENDEES MUST ALREADY BE AN NFRC CERTIFIED SIMULATOR.

Non-certified simulators are welcome to attend this course for your own information, but you will not be eligible to take any examinations or use this course in the future for a retroactive LCS certification. 

When you register, please make sure you purchase the correct ticket

NFRC highly recommends all individual’s performing or reviewing simulations from an accredited simulation laboratory or licensed inspection agency who have not already achieved the credential attend the training.

The course instructor is Dennis Anderson, senior manager, program, who has been simulating fenestration products since 1993. Dennis has been with NFRC and conducting certified simulator workshops for more than nine years. A LEAFF Certified Simulator himself, Dennis has taught certified simulators globally and leads the task that evaluates the software programs used for NFRC certification.

This course will be held online in a virtual environment.
