The federal Department of Energy has developed REScheckTM, a computer program that may be used in demonstrating compliance for a residential building which has no more than 3 stories above grade and has 3 or more dwelling units. The REScheck program may be downloaded at http://www.energycodes.gov/.When using the program, the applicable code must be defined as the "2009 IECC." The use of the "Wisconsin" option will apply requirements associated with a 1 or 2 family dwelling, which are more restrictive than those associated with low-rise multifamily buildings.
