Clarify what constitutes a water failure Regarding the use of bay, bow and other 3-dimensional projecting units, the following interpretations are requested: 1. Is the test evaluation intended for the mulled fenestration assembly only and is not intended to qualify any roof constructions? 2. Does the mullion angle used in the mulled fenestration assembly evaluation only qualify that mullion angle? 3. Does water that penetrates the interior most plain of any individual unit and/or mull joint deem a failure? Date of Inquiry: December 17, 2007 (TI-08-01)

AAMA Glossary
This document is an all-encompassing "AAMA Glossary" (AG-09) that is to be used from this point forward when referencing definitions in any/all AAMA documents. It was found, while reading through various AAMA documents, that we have multiple definitions in our documents for one word (a good example of this would be the word "fenestration"). Although the definitions aren't strikingly different, we want to ensure consistency throughout our document. The definitions were compiled by researching all current AAMA documents and extracting the definitions; this Glossary was approved by the AAMA Document Management Committee. (AG-09)

North American Fenestration Standard/Specification for windows, doors, and skylights
This is the second edition of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440, NAFS - North American Fenestration Standard/Specification for windows, doors, and skylights. It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2005 under the title Standard/Specification for windows, doors, and unit skylights. It is jointly published by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA), the Window & Door Manufacturers Association (WDMA), and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The following significant changes from the previous edition of this Standard/Specification have been made: (a) reduction of the number of window and door performance classes from five to four by elimination of Classes C and HC and addition of a new class identified as CW; (b) introduction of an option whereby a product is permitted to enter Performance Class R by testing of a specimen of an alternative minimum test size smaller than the gateway test size specified in Table 27, provided that the minimum performance grade (PG) is correspondengly increased (see Clause 9 for details); (c) addition of tubular daylighting devices (TDDs); (d) revision of the pressure caps for the R and LC classes; (e) clarification of the meaning of and difference between design pressure (DP) and performance grade (PG) (f) revision of the primary designators for design pressure (DP), performance grade (PG), and size tested. This purchase also includes the Update #1 released in May 2008, Update #2 released in September of 2008, and Update #3 released in June of 2009.

Rain Penetration Control - Applying Current Knowledge
AAMA’s latest publication is available in the United States through a cooperative effort with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). “Rain Penetration Control – Applying Current Knowledge” was developed based on the previous related AAMA standard (“The Rain Screen Principle and Pressure-Equalized Wall Design”) and extensive research and field testing conducted by the CMHC. The standard provides detailed information and guidance regarding increasing product performance, specifically related to windows, curtain walls and storefronts. This new AAMA/CMHC document includes a section on mechanisms of water penetration, control of water penetration, design guidelines for rainscreen and pressure equalized walls and an example of designing using the covered principles. For architects, specifiers, designers and those who wish to understand the possibilities for improving wall performance, this is an excellent resource. (RPC-00)
