These definitions were compiled by researching all current documents and extracting the definitions. To download a free version of the glossary, click here.

Fenestration and Glazing Virtual Library
The Fenestration and Glazing Virtual Library (FGVL) offers electronic versions of AAMA and IGMA publications in an effort to make technical information resources more readily available to Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) members. This program, which consists of two libraries, one each for AAMA and IGMA publications, is currently available to FGIA members once a license agreement has been approved and payment received. Eligible participants include Category 1 and Glass Product Council members, as well as Technical Consultant and Professional members. Visit the FGVL page for more information.
Green Building Information
Green building initiatives are a top priority within FGIA, thus we are proactively involved in green building organizations, leading the charge for fenestration products and their impact on the building’s overall green performance attributes. This includes information related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), also known as the economic stimulus package. Click here for news, events, links and other green resources.
