[BLDG-SIM] code compliance

[Ramana Koti]

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,
