   Hi Ramana,

    
   I have used the energy code compliance check on two projects both
   rResCheck and CoMCheck , my understanding of these tools is that
   there is no trade off involved , all the building components have to
   meet the minimum code requirements , otherwise it is difficult to
   make it pass the code. the minimum values are displayed at the lower
   end of the screen as we keep entering the values and at the same time
   it shows the percentage progress of the with respect to the local
   code . also there is no Btu/sq sf  or energy use intensity involved.

      Dear all,
      
      We're working on a project in Iowa and just beginning to think
      about energy code compliance. Iowa's state energy code is IECC
      2006. 
      
      How does code compliance work generally? I know that COMcheck can
      be used to check for compliance (never used it though). Do all
      components like roof, wall, glazing etc have to meet the minimum
      requirement or is trade off possible? 
      
      Is there a Btu/sq ft component involved?
      
      Thanks in advance,
