CMA Frame Grouping Research Project Monitoring Task Group

CHAIRS CONTACT INFORMATION

Objective

Develop frame grouping rules considering non-residential products, in addition to residential products, so that new frame grouping rules can include most fenestration products, either residential or non-residential. In addition to whole product grouping rules, investigate and develop frame grouping rules specific to frame component submission in the new CMA as being the basis for the new non-residential NFRC procedure. In developing these rules, balance the need for a fair, credible, and accurate product rating system with the need to have a workable system and a reasonably simple process to administer. Also consider existing frame grouping rules and refine or modify them appropriately.
