Earlier today, NFRC's John Lewis spoke about the merits of the Component Modeling Approach (CMA) during the Glass Association of North America's (GANA) Fall Conference in Kansas City.
John's presentation included the rationale for implementing CMA and an explanation of CMAST, the software tool that drives CMA.
The demonstration also touched on NFRC's Pilot Program, and John encouraged anyone who is interested to get involved.
"The opportunity to use the fully functional version of CMAST is available, and there will be financial incentives for early adopters" Lewis concluded.

BCAP Speaks about its New Website
This summer, the Building Codes Assistance Project (BCAP) launched a beta version of its new Website known as the Online Code Environment & Advocacy Network (OCEAN).
OCEAN is interactive, and it is designed for sharing best practices, educational resources, and notable facts about building energy code adoption and implementation.
Designers, builders, manufacturers, regulators, advocates, and various other organizations involved in building energy codes will find that OCEAN provides valuable information based on the experience of its users.
Visit OCEAN at www.bcap-ocean.org.
