International research and product development has resulted from partnerships between the research community and the world's leading glass, window and skylight companies. This has led to many new options in the design of windows, skylights and glazing systems. Collectively, these building elements are often referred to as fenestration. This note examines fenestration options in terms of rated performance, thermal comfort, aesthetics, daylight, energy performance and cost.
