Ramana:

COMcheck provides envelope trade-off based on ASHRAE 90.1-2004
(Appendix-C) to meet the IECC 2006 prescriptive requirements.  There are
no Btu/Sq.ft. component involved, but normalized envelope performance
factors are used to compare the proposed and budget buildings to
determine compliance.  More details can be found at

Subject: code compliance

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,
