Commercial energy calculator to improve the efficiency of commercial metal buildings: On June 28, 2007, the company introduced the Owens Corning Commercial Energy Calculator, a way to demonstrate how improving the performance of the envelope and/or lighting and HVAC systems can help a metal building owner qualify for tax deductions under the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
