The California Energy Commission has approved the use of a new fenestration rating system called NFRC ?Component Modeling Approach? or ?CMA? in its 2008 update to Title 24. This new rating system generates more precise performance ratings for nonresidential site-built fenestration, providing a better alternative to use in energy simulations than the CEC Default Tables in Title 24.
How does this effect Energy Consultants?
CMA enables you to provide the following services:
* Model envelope/fenestration products to maximize energy efficiency
* Obtain credit for high performance fenestration products in energy compliance
* Compare energy performance of fenestration components and products
* Eliminate the requirement for lab-testing of site-built fenestration products
* Create label certificates from a virtual library of existing fenestration products
