REPRESENTATIVE U-FACTORS FOR DOORS Doors are often an overlooked component inthe thermal integ- rity of the building envelope. Although entry doors (swinging, revolving, ee.) representa small portion ofthe building envelope of residental, commercial, and institutional buildings, their U-acteris ‘usally many times higher than that of te walls or ceilings. In some. ‘commercial and industrial buildings, vehicular access doors (upward-acting doors) represent a sigaificant area of heat oss. “Table 6 contain representative U-factors for swinging doors deter amined trough computer simulation (Cazpenter and Hogan 1996). ‘These are generic values, and product-specific values determined in accordance with standards should be used whenever available, NFRC Technical Document 100 (NFRC 2014a) gives procedures {or evaluating the performance of entry and vehicular access doors. “Tables 7 to 9 contain representative Ucfactors fo revolving, emer {gency exit, garage, and aircraft hangar doors determined through testing (MeGowan etal 2006) Swinging doors can be divided into two categories: slab and stile-anderail. A stile-and-rail door ie a swinging doot with a full- {lass insext supported by horizontal tails and Vertical stiles.

Most residential doors are slab type wit solid wood steel ora fiberglass skin over foam insu- lation in a wood frame with aluminum sil, The edges of the stel skin door are normally wood to provide a thermal break. Tn com- mercial construction, doors are ether steel skin over foam insula tion in a steel fame (i. slity doors) or a full glass door made up cof aluminum stiles, rails, and frame (ie, entrance doors). The most Important factors affecting deor U-factor are material construction, lass size, and glass type. Frame depth, slab width, and number of panels have a minor effet on doer performance. Side ites and dou- ble doors have U-facors similar toa single doar of the same con- struction, For wood slab doors in a wood frame, the glazing aea bat Title effect on the U-factor, Foran insulated steel slab in a wood fame, however, glazing area strongly affects U-factor, Typical com mercial insulated slab doors have a U-factor approximately twice that of residential insulated doors, the prime reason being thermal bridging ofthe slab edge and the steel frame. Stile-and-rail doors, even if thermally broken, have U-factors 50% higher than a full glass commercial see slab door. “There are three generic types of upward-acting doors + Rolling (also called rollup) doors consist of small metal slats of approximately 65 mm in height that travel in vertical guides and roll up around a metal barrel fo open.

There isa wide range in the design of insulated upward-acting doors Factors affecting heat transfer include ingulation thickness, section/sat design, and section/slat interface design (which may Table 7 Design U- ctors for Revolving Doors in Wi(as-K) Type Size (Width x Height) UeFacior 22m 346 Soe 2aban 433 2x lem ase 2082.13 139 ‘een pated cnet ning ebodsgy sa NFRC Peconic!
