166 EDUCATIONAL-ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUING EDUCATION The growing use of European-made windows in the United States reflects both increasing interest in tilt-and-turn hardware as well as better componentry and thermal performance. European Windows Boost U.S. Performance and Design Enhancing design flexibility and bringing performance to the next level with European windows Sponsored by Zola European Windows | By C.C. Sullivan Architecture is about making form, right? Not so fast, says Peter Zumthor, the Swiss gold-medal architect known best for his thermal bath in Vals. In London a few years ago, Zumthor said, “Architecture is not about form, it is about many other things: the light and the use, and the structure, and the shadow, the smell and so on.” Le Corbusier said it in even stronger terms: “Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light.” To bring natural light indoors to illuminate massing, materials, and other features requires openings and fenestration in the right proportion and arrangement. More than that, one needs windows that achieve the same levels of craft and quality as the building assemblies custom-designed by the architectural team. “Architecture is made of memory,” says California architect and author Anthony Lawlor. “The slope of a roof, the shape of a window, and the color of a door contain the record of the minds that conceived them and the hands that crafted them.” Appreciation of craft and demand for better performance have led to the importing and fabrication of European window technology across a growing area of the United States. Unlike European automobiles (or even beer) where one might argue the product’s prestige and premium cost overshadow any real performance advantages, the trend toward using more European windows is 100 percent performance driven. Prestige tends to be subsidiary to the quest for real improvements in occupant comfort, operability, energy savings, and appearance.

Describe the features and measures of high-performance European windows including the types of windows available for energy-efficient, sustainable buildings. 2. Explain how glass selection and gas fills impact window and building performance including heat gain, light transmission, and energy efficiency. 3. Discuss how window sizing and installation detailing can boost window performance significantly beyond the NFRC ratings. 4. List the areas of focus for Passive House standards, and the ways that European windows may help meet the rigorous standards. To receive credit, you are required to read the entire article and pass the test. Go to ce.architecturalrecord.com for complete text and to take the test for free. AIA/CES COURSE #K15<strong>04</strong>N GBCI COURSE #0920003237 Swiss-trained architect, Florian Speier, founded Zola Windows in 2011. Unsatisfied with the domestic selection of windows, Speier partnered with European manufacturers to design extremely energy-efficient windows and doors. Zola offers extensive product lines—from the top-of-the-line Passive House ThermoPlus Clad, to budget-friendly uPVC windows that are perfect for multifamily developments. www.zolawindows.com CIRCLE 72
