Tubelite achieves NFRC 'ACE'


Tubelite Inc. has been approved by the National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC) as a Manufacturer Approved Calculation Entity (ACE) Organization. NFRC is the global leader in delivering energy and related performance ratings and certification for fenestration products and systems.

In addition to the company's ACE certified individuals in both the engineering and marketing departments, three Tubelite representativeshave earned a Certificate of Approval for successfully completing the ACE Training Workshop: client development manager Dan Goodman (serving Michigan), and representatives Rick Hillesheim and Matt Tschida of Hillesheim Architectural Products, Inc. (serving Iowa, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Minnesota).

As an NFRC ACE, each is qualified to carry out performance calculations of fenestration products for design support and final certification using the NFRC Component Modeling Approach (CMA) and software tool (CMAST). Through NFRC's CMAST libraries of approved frames, glass and spacer components, users can configure fenestration products for a project, and can obtain a U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient and visible transmittance rating for those products. Performance values are then compared to the energy requirements of local energy codes to determine compliance.

Performance of specific Tubelite frame-glass combinations can be obtained from the NFRC Certified Products Directory or the CMA process. In addition to active product listings in the NFRC Certified Products Directory for factory-glazed fenestration, Tubelite has several approved curtainwall, storefront and entrance system productsin the CMAST library, and new product variations frequently are added.
