- 2-D Heat Transfer in complete fenestration  
  systems
- Natural convection on indoor side (warm side) of
  fenestration systems
- Turbulent forced convection on outdoor side of
  fenestration system (cold side)
- Laminar and turbulent natural convection in
  glazing and frame cavities
- Radiation heat transfer
