Description:

January 1, 2011 is the day the new Energy Efficiency Act is in effect. This Act will affect the glazing contractor is some very significant ways. Are you ready? Do you have questions? How can you be prepared?  I have attached the presentation given by Erik Kaye and Andrew Pape Salmon from the Ministry of Environment at the November 30, 2010 GCABC AGM for your reference and review.

At the January 11, 2011 GCABC Breakfast Session Ray McGowan, Senior Research and Technology Manager from NFRC will be attending to discuss the Component Modeling Approach Program (CMA) Product Certification Program. The NFRC’s Component Modeling Approach (CMA) Product Certification Program enables whole product energy performance ratings for commercial (non-residential) projects. The concept behind component modeling is performance data from the three primary components that make up a fenestration product that are used for obtaining an overall product performance rating - glazing, frame and spacer.

The Component Modeling Approach Software Tool (CMAST) establishes a set of performance libraries of approved components (frames, glass, and spacer) which can be accessed for configuring fenestration products for a project, and obtaining a U-factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), and Visible Transmittance (VT) rating for those products, which can then be reflected in a CMA Label Certificate for code compliance.

The CMA program and software tool will be shown at this session. You will see several advantages for stakeholders in the industry; generating performance ratings for bidding projects, ascertaining credible and accurate performance data, and obtaining third party certification of overall product performance for code compliance

GCABC has also invited a few BC located ACE certified persons to be in attendance
