and provide ventilaiton
transom
a window that is located directly above a door
punched openings
a series of small openings in a larger wall surface
(think of single-family residence)
strip or ribbon window
continous band of glazing that spans the lengther of a room or wall
skylight
glazed opening in the roof with is typically fixed and non-operable.
with most skylights conditions the glazing run parallel to the roof.
Need to be careful about the solar gain as there is rarely an opportunity for shading.

bottom of the door unit
frame (door)
struccture mounted to the wall that holds the door
leaf (door)
door itself
stiles (door)

in the drawing set what needs to be noted?
the swing direction
what are the swing directions
4 options
LH- left hand
RH - right hand
LHR- LH reverse
RHR- RH reverse
what does reverse mean when talking about a doors swing direction
indicated that the door swings out toward you
What is the makeup of a door
head
jamb
sill or threshold
frame
leaf
rail
stiles
swinging door
exterior & interior use
requires space for the door swing
most convenient for entry & passage
most effective for acoustical & weather resistance
can be fire rated
CAN BE SINGLE OR DOUBLE LEAF
bypass sliding door
exterior & interior use
requires no operating space
more difficult to seal
offers only 50% acess to door width
surface sliding door
interior use only in typical
requires no operating space
very difficult to seal
offers full access to door width
pocket sliding door
interior use only is typically
requires no operating space
very difficult to sea
offers full access to door width
slides into a recess in the wall and can have finished appearance when open
folding door
interior use only is typical
requires less opperating space than a swinging door
VERY difficult to seal
offers full acess to door width
typically used in storage situations
variation=accordion door which has many small leaves
typically used as space dividers
flush doors
composed of a solid framework of wood rails & stiles that is covered with a plywood veneer for a smooth consistent finish
panel doors or rail-and stile-doors
a door composed of a solid framework of wood rails and stiles that is infilled with a series of wood, glass or louvered panels
COMES IN MANY STYLES
what is the typical heights of a door
6’8”
7’
8’
what are the typical styles of the doors used in single family residences?
swinging
bypass sliding
surface sliding
pocket sliding
folding
flush doors
panel doors
rail-and-stile doors
wood windows positives
warmth and beauty of materila
relatively high R-value
wood windows negatives
high maintenance: swelling, decay, termites, painting
typically need to be clad on the outside
potential negative of the framing needing a much thicker profile
more expensive than other options
steel windows positives
can provide very narrow profiles
great durability for high impact situations
steel windows negatives
low R-value but better than alluminum
corrosion issues
-HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN MAY SITUATION BY ALLUMINUM WINDOWS-
vinyl window positives
very low maintenace
high R-value
relatively inexpensivev
vinyl window negatives
can expand and contract quite a bit
generally seen as a less attractive option
like wood can have a relatively thick profile
aluminum windows positive
very low maintnance
no shrinkage or swelling
relatively inexpensive
relatively easy to install due to snap together parts
aluminum windows negatives
low R-values
typically neutral aesthetically
what is the makeup of a wood window
head
mounting fin
jamb
sill
stool (interior finished sill)
mullion
sustainable considerations to be taken into account when choosing + installing windows?
1- reduce air leakage b/t windows and rough openings
2- reduce heat conduction/thermal bridging
3- locate and size windows appropriately
hallow core door:
core of honeycomb or corrugated fiberboard or the like
lightweight
INTERIOR USE
solid core door:
core of bonded lumber blocks, particle board, or material composition panel
solid and hallow core doors are considered to be categorized as
FLUSH WOOD DOORS
panel doors are constructed how
panel door= no core
a frame of rails and stiles
infilled with solid wood, plywood, glass, or louvered panels
construction also includes the fixing of the panels to the rails and stiles
sustainable considerations to be taken into account when choosing and installing doors
1- reduce air leakage +moisture infiltration w/weather stripping
2 - reduce heat conduction/thermal bridging
how is a wood door installed??
head
exterior casing
interior casing
jamb
sill or threshold
DOOR FRAME CAN BE CONFIGURED WITH A RABBITED CONDITION W/APPLIED STOP OR W/NO STOP
flat glass
sheets, plats, or float
= typically flat sheet glasst
tempered glass
annealed glass that is reneated and rapidly cooled to strengthen- break into harmless pieces
laminated or safety glass
layers of resin that holds the glass together if broken
wired glass
flat glass embedded with a wire mest to prevent shattering due to heat
patterned glass
glass with a pattern formed in the rolling process to obscure or diffuse light
obscure glass
glass that is sandblasted or arid etched on one or both sides to obscure vision
what is types of glass exist
flat glass
tempered glass
laminated or safety glass
wired glass
patterned glass
obscure glass
what is glass
a chemically inert substance produced by fusing SILICA and other materials into a mass that cools to a rigid condition without crystallizing
solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)
the amoung to solar radiation tha a window will transit
LOWER IS BETTER
u-factor
the designation for the ability of the window to TRANSFTER HEAT
- an inverse factor of R-value of a given material (resistance to transferring heat)
visible transmittance
the measurement of how much light comes through the glass
- the higher the # the more light that is transmitted the BETTER IT CAN BE SEEN THROUGH
air leakage
the amount of air that lack through assembly
What are the energy performance characteristic of glass
u-factor
SHGC
visible transmittance
air leakage
what types of glass are made to be mor energy efficient?
insulating glass
tinted glass
reflective glass
low-emissivity glass (LOW-E GLASS)
