Technology in Architectural Practice

Dear AIA Technology Group:

I would like to announce to AIA members that I have created a new search tool for roofing products. At https://nominpensas.com, users will find a free tool that includes every roofing product available in the U.S. In addition to searches by brand name, manufacturer, MasterFormat number, and keyword, Nominpensas (Latin abbreviation for "Naming Building Products) offers a unique search by attribute. The attribute search allows users to find all products that meet critical performance requirements, such as roof slope, maximum weight, fire rating, reflectivity, and so forth. The search tool also includes hyperlinks to data for every roofing product in the database -- not just to the manufacturer's website.

Did I mention that it's free and doesn't require any registration?

Thanks,

Robert Paul Dean, FAIA, FCSI

CEO, Nominpensas LLC

Great suggestion, Andrew! It will have to wait awhile, but I'll definitely keep it under consideration.
