In response to Richrad's request for information about FBE and CP, I believe the correct explanation for the success of FBE with the 850 IR considered criteria does not relate to criteria at all. From a past PRCi study, we know that 850 IR considered works about 95% of the time when used correctly. In contrast, 850 polarized is about 98% effective and the 100 mV shift criteria is 100% effective. The reason FBE seems so effective is that is doesn't create any shielding problems that plague other coatings., not because it works better wtih any particular criteria.

I don't believe FBE wotks any better with 850 IR considered than any other criteria, it is just a good coating that works well under almost all conditions. 850 IR considered will work well if done properly. It does have more room for error, which is the point of contention.

Thanks
