D2RulCmp.exe is not something developed exclusively for California, nor
is it something that has been used only to develop the Title-24
compliance analysis ruleset. As stated in the compliance
documentation, D2RulCmp is a small application used to compile raw
compliance ruleset "source" files into a binary file that can be read
into eQUEST/D2Comply and evaluated/applied to a building model.<br>
<br>
Rulesets that are compiled using D2RulCmp are used not only to test
building energy code compliance, but also to populate the eQUEST
detailed interface Summary tab reports and Quality Control reporting
mechanisms. And the D2RulCmp application has been used by others
outside the eQUEST/DOE-2 development team - previously by a group of
scientists/educators in Spain to develop a compliance checking ruleset
for a Spanish version of eQUEST and currently by a group in Canada
developing a ruleset to test compliance to their MNECB code.<br>
<br>
To answer the original question of how to obtain D2RulCmp - it is
something that can be licensed from our development team. The terms of
that license depends on the goals and objectives of the licensee.<br>
Before you consider contacting us about such licensing I suggest you
first give some serious thought to the time and effort you plan to put
into using the tool. While the ruleset source format is fairly
straight- forward, the knowledge and effort required to produce a
ruleset such as one to test compliance to ASHRAE 90.1-2004 is
SUBSTANTIAL, primarily due to the complexity of the database (DOE-2's
BDL input and simulation output) that the ruleset operates on.<br>
