Hello eQuesters<BR> <BR>I was wondering if any of you had used eQuest for Energy Code compliance outside of California? e.g. 90.1-2010 chapter 11 or IECC-2009 section 506? (the whole building performance methods).<BR>If yes, specifics? If not, what software do you use for this instead? <BR> <BR>By 'whole building performance' I mean a shortcoming in one category (e.g. too much glass, too many lights) can be compensated for from another category (e.g. efficient HVAC). <BR> <BR> <BR>What I have learned so far:<BR>COMcheck works fine for prescriptive compliance which is the way most commercial plans are sent through. COMcheck is not set up for whole building performance ( I have tested this). <BR>eQuest works well for LEED EA credits which uses 90.1 Appendix G..... <BR>Appendix G starts out by saying it is <em>not</em> intended as an alternative for chapter 11....<BR> <BR> <BR>thanks folks<BR>Steve <BR> <BR> <BR> </div></body>
