Beginning on
January 1, 2014, every fenestration product manufactured for installation in
California will be required to bear a clearly visible temporary label that certifies
its thermal performance, visible transmittance, and air leakage values.
The National Fenestration Rating Council’s (NFRC) commercial ratings program, widely
known as the Component Modeling Approach (CMA) program, helps meet this
requirement for nonresidential projects.
In 2008, The
California Energy Commission (CEC) approved NFRC’s commercial ratings program (CMA)
as one of three standard approaches to show compliance with Title 24’s energy
efficiency standards for non-residential buildings.
