Window Energy Rating Scheme Membership No.: 653The Window Energy Rating Scheme Rates Whole Of Window Product Energy Efficiency Performance.The Window Energy Rating Scheme Enables Windows To Be Rated And Labeled For Their Annual Energy Impact On A Whole House, In Any Climate Of Australia.To Participate In WERS, Window Makers Must Obtain Energy Ratings For Their Products From A Rating Organisation That Is Accredited By The AFRC (Australian Fenestration Rating Council)The Window Energy Rating Scheme Is Managed By The Australian Glass And Window Association (AGWA).WERS Is Independent Of Any One Manufacturer And Acts As A Fair, Rigorous And Credible System For Testing Performance Claims. WERS-Rated Windows Must Meet All Relevant Australian Standards. The Scheme Forms Part Of The Quality Assurance That Smart Manufacturers Offer Their Customers. It Is All About Certified Performance.To Realise Their Full Potential, WERS Ratings Are Designed To 'Plug In' To NatHERS, Australia's Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme Accredited Software. Similarly, The FirstRate House Energy Rating Software From The Sustainable Energy Authority Of Victoria Will Accept Data For 'Real' Windows. This Enables Designers To 'Kick The Tyres' Of Different Windows During A Rating Before Final Selection Is Made.

AS 2047:2014-Windows and External Glazed Doors in Buildings Test Standard: AS/NZS 4420.1-2016 Windows, external glazed, timber and composite doors.AS 2047 specifies requirements for materials, construction, installation and glazing for windows, sliding doors, adjustable glass louvres, shopfronts, and window walls with one-piece framing elements. It incorporates the following Tests…AS/NZS 4420.1-2016 Section 3: Serviceability Design Window PressureAS/NZS 4420.1-2016 Section 4: Operationg Force Test – to verify that an opening sash is capable of opening and closing without undue effort.AS/NZS 4420.1-2016 Section 5: Air Infiltration Test – the air leakage of a window is tested to ensure energy and acoustic efficiency.AS/NZS 4420.1-2016 Section 6: Water Penetration Resistance Test-to verify that no water leaks through the window into the building.AS/NZS 4420.1-2016 Section 7: Ultimate Strength Test – negative and positive wind pressures are applied to the window to at least 1.5 times the design wind pressure to ensure it does not fail in unusual wind conditions.AS/NZS 4420.1-2016: Deflection Test – positive and negative wind pressures are applied to the face of the window to test the maximum deflection under wind load.

AS 4666:2012 Insulating Glass units Specifies the functional properties of double insulating glass. Two grades of glass separated by an air space within an opening to improve insulation against heat transfer and/or sound transmission, with different impact performance levels. Other requirements include size tolerances, weathering and ageing performance.
