What if a material being used in my design is not listed in the CEC/CBECC-Com material library?

You will need to select a material from the library with similar thermal properties to the material being used. You can find the material library in spreadsheet form as part of the CBECC-Com installation in the C:\Users(your username)\Documents\CBECC-Com 2013 Data\Documents\RulesetSource\CEC 2013 Nonres\Rules\Tables folder of your computer.

Can users add their own materials - assuming all data is put in? E.G. CEC has 559 materials, the S901G_2010 (ASHRAE 90.1 App G?) has 585. Also, there are many exterior finishes not in these two libraries.
