NFRC Summer Membership Meeting Features Live CMAST Demonstration
Charlie Curcija, of Carli, Inc., provided a live demonstration of CMAST, the software tool for the Component Modeling Approach (CMA) program, to NFRC’s Board of Directors during the organization’s Summer Membership Meeting, in July.
CMA is NFRC’s new program to rate and certify commercial fenestration projects, expected to be fully launched in January 2010.
Curcija described CMAST’s ease of use as he demonstrated the multiple benefits the software provides. These benefits include client-based and Web-based functionalities, including the ability to maintain libraries of component data, define projects, assemble components, and to calculate whole-product ratings.
The CMA Pilot Project is underway and NFRC invites all interested parties to participate.
For more information on NFRC’s CMA Pilot Project, visit the CMA information page online, or contact Jessica Ferris, CMA program manager, at jferris@nfrc.org.

In other news, NFRC welcomed 25 first-time attendees and 9 new member companies to the meeting.
NFRC made considerable progress on finalizing the 2010 edition of its technical documents. To no surprise, the discussions during the week showed that, although NFRC is getting things done, there is still much work to do. Questions remain about the rating of attachment products, and some opportunities with regard to thermophysical properties of materials were identified.
NFRC is well on track to pick up its work where it left off at the upcoming Fall Membership Meeting that will take place November 16-19, in San Antonio, Texas, at the Sheraton Gunter Hotel. Be sure to join us – NFRC will celebrate its 20-year anniversary during the conference.
