Alternative performance standard for replacement windows in buildings requiring external appearance preservation

Where replacement windows must maintain the building's external appearance and cannot meet Table 3.2 standards, they must have a centre pane U-value of no more than 1.2 W/m2.K, or single glazing combined with low-E secondary glazing with weather stripping.

Where, because of the need to maintain the external appearance of a building, replacement windows are unable to meet the standards given in Table 3.2, the replacement windows should have a centre pane U-value of not more than 1.2 W/m2.K. Alternatively, single glazing may be used in combination with low-E secondary glazing with the weather stripping on the secondary glazing to minimise condensation risk between the primary and secondary glazing.
