PG or DP is not typically found on the NFRC.org. For stuff like that, you will need to inquire with the manufacturer for an engineering/AAMA test report.

+1. Unfortunately there's not a single source that houses all of that data like the NFRC does on the thermal side. All manufacturers have the testing reports. You just need to request the numbers and/or reports if you would like to see them.
I'll also mention that you have a pretty solid collection of pros here with knowledge of many product ratings, we may be able to help in that regard as well.

I would be happy to just get an understanding of:
  • "good"
    "better"
    "best"
