Your name or email address: TimNY, Although you have merit to what you are reschefk, the bottom line is the program is only designed to take area adjacent to or above outside air or unconditioned space. Oct 29, Messages: Oct 26, Messages: They told me that the floor has to be removed from the list.

Not sure how the rest of the country is doing it, but the ceiling between the first and second floors would not be a part of the thermal building envelope in my neck of the woods.

uhm I've never seen this. | Page 2 | The Building Code Forum
ResCheck is about 'thermal envelope'. Discussion in ' Residential Energy Codes ' started by rktect 1Mar 18, I agree with the consensus on Reschexk, no good.
Well, unless they gut the entire building and replace all insulation and windows. That is, it's about creating a conditioned environment within the 'envelope'. Jan 13, Messages: Are you permitted to use the prescriptive requirements in Table N IF the existing construction has no insulation, no new windows.
For example, walls and doors between an unheated garage and a living area are part of the building envelope; walls separating an unheated garage from the outside are not. No, create an account now.

If your addition does not meet all of the requirements in the Table, you will not pass ResCheck unless you provide trade-offs with insulation or U-factor beyond what is in the Table. IF the existing construction has no insulation, no new windows, no new furnace, but a new dual flush toilet.
If you are Zone 4, it looks like you could comply as long as the windows are 0.

uhm.... I've never seen this.
You're never going to get the entire structure to comply when you add an addition to an existing, under-insulated home I'm willing to concede not accepting the REScheck based on the program not having an 'over conditioned 4.3.0 and leaving it at that. Share This Page Tweet.
We appreciate you being here and hope that you are getting the information that you need concerning all codes of the building trades.
