Approved Calculation Entities (ACEs)

An ACE is an individual who has attended an Approved Calculation Entity Training Workshop, completed and passed all necessary examinations, and has obtained a Certificate of Approval that qualifies him or her to carry out performance calculations of fenestration products and issue label certificates using the Component Modeling Approach Software Tool (CMAST).
