Building Owners Could Soon Face Fenestration Surcharges

摘要

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) spring meeting recently concluded in San Diego, where the NFRC's proposed nonresidential rating program, including testing and certification steps, took center stage. Despite strong opposition from several significant members of the glass and glazing industry and without committee support, the NFRC Board appears to be moving forward with its proposed program plans. If the new rating system takes effect, building owners could see thousands of dollars added to the cost of each building.
