1. The tool features different tabs at the top to navigate effectively through a project These tabs feature sub tabs on the left side that act as logical sections to enter the details of different building components and generate the conformance reports This makes it easy to assess conformance for a single component if required The tool is used to assess the overall conformance of a building as well as its major building components that include e Building Envelope 7 e Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning 8 e Service Hot Water and Pumping 9 e Lighting 10 e Electrical Power 11 For each building project the user progresses by specifying the details of the building components When complete the conformance results can be viewed for different components The tool allows the user to provide inputs that do not need to be sequential The information can be provided in the sequence preferred by the user This makes it more intuitive and interactive However to get correct results the user needs to go through all the left side sub tabs under each top tab and provide the information relevant to the building components Tip Across the tool e The fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory e Responses to certain requirements may trigger other related input fields to appear e The greyed out cells in the tables are non editable Double click on the ones that are not greyed out to edit enter the correspond2. a custom one Area m Enter the area of the roof Cool Roof Select if it is a cool roof Slope Select the slope of the cool roof Walls Roof Assembly Select a standard assembly from the drop down menu or define a custom one Orientation Select the orientation of the wall east west north south Area m Enter the area of the wall Vertical Fenestration Rated If rated selected a standard assembly from the drop down 23 menu or define a custom one Unrated If unrated selected the frame and glass type and tint from the respective drop down menus Orientation Select the orientation of the fenestration east west north south Area m Enter the area of the wall Sill Height m Enter the height of the sill Interior Light Shelf Overhang Select the checkboxes if applicable and then enter the respective H values and V values Side Fins Skylights Rated If rated enter the description optional Unrated If unrated selected the glass type and tint from the respective drop down menus Area m Enter the area of the skylight Curb Select if the skylight has a curb After providing the details on the dialog box click OK The component gets listed in the table under the relevant sub tab Tig OP the greyed out cells in the tables are non editable Double click on the ones that are not greyed out to edit enter the correspondin
