CTRLSPECBUILDER™ SELECTED ONE OF TOP PRODUCTS OF 2004 Commercial Building Products readers honor the on-line HVAC specification tool
ATLANTA, GA - September 1, 2005 – CtrlSpecBuilder, the website that provides HVAC engineers with a productivity tool to prepare open, non-proprietary specifications quickly and accurately, was selected as one of the top products of the year by readers of Commercial Building Products magazine. Each year, the magazine, which serves the low-to-mid-rise non-residential construction markets, tabulates reader interest though reader-service response, Internet direct links, and electronic reader-service requests to determine those products that are of the greatest interest to its readers. CtrlSpecBuilder was one of the top inquiry-producing items that appeared in the magazine during 2004. The readers of the magazine include building owners, architects and contractors. According to Jim Losh, publisher and president of Commercial Building Products, the Product of the Year awards program is designed to recognize those building product manufacturers who develop and deliver top-of-the-line products that help buyers, specifiers, and influencers build better non-residential facilities.
CtrlSpecBuilder, www.ctrlspecbuilder.com, is a free tool that prepares non-proprietary, custom specifications and follows ASHRAE Guideline 13-2000, Specifying Direct Digital Control Systems, as well as CSI MasterFormat® 95 and 2004. It prepares specifications in a fraction of the time previously required, and eliminates the omitted or conflicting text common to specifications created by "cut & paste." This tool also generates point lists, sequences of control, and schematics for all HVAC equipment in the project, and can provide specifications in U.S. or metric units. CtrlSpecBuilder has been well accepted by the engineering community, with over 30,000 visits to the web site, from over 50 countries.
