How does REScheck determine compliance when multiple heating or multiple cooling equipment is used?
REScheck 2006 IECC cannot be used to demonstrate compliance with multiple HVAC systems. When more than one system is defined, REScheck uses the envelope UA approach to determine compliance and ignores the efficiencies of the equipment. This change was implemented because high-efficiency equipment tradeoffs, which use the limited equipment performance compliance approach in REScheck for the 2006 IECC, are available only for single systems. Homes with multiple systems or other advanced house features require a different compliance tool that implements all the features of full-performance compliance.
