NRCA OFFERS ENERGYWISE ROOF CALCULATOR ONLINE Rosemont, Ill.—The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) will make its EnergyWise Roof Calculator Online available online this spring. Users will be able to access the calculator for free at www.specright.net. The calculator still will be available for purchase on CD-ROM through shop.nrca.net. The EnergyWise Roof Calculator Online is a software application that allows roofing professionals to construct virtual roof assemblies to evaluate thermal efficiency and estimate energy costs. It also contains minimum thermal insulation requirements established by ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1999. After being prompted to enter specific roof assembly information, users can generate a report summarizing the proposed roof assembly design, estimated heating and cooling costs, and minimum thermal requirements.
