The most flexible approach for meeting the MEC insulation and window requirements. REScheck is designed to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Council of American Building Officials (CABO) Model Energy Code (MEC) and the International Code Council (ICC) International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). It is the most flexible approach for meeting the MEC insulation and window requirements. The REScheck program runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Quick Start:
Step 1: Select the appropriate code from the Code menu. If you don't know what code is applicable for your state/jurisdiction, review the Status of State Codes.

Step 2: Enter Project Information. select the state and city/county where the building will be located; select the construction type you are going to build; add project details that will print on the report (optional).

Step 3: Enter Building Components. Use the buttons to add the building components to be used in the building. Enter only the components that separate conditioned space from unconditioned space. You do not need to use every button. You may add as many components as you need to describe your building, including multiple components of the same type. If all components of one type (e.g., all exterior walls) have the same construction characteristics (e.g., all are wood-frame, 16" o.c. with R-13), you may add the square footage of all of the components of that type together and insert only one row into the table.

Step 4: Enter Mechanical Equipment. This section is optional. However, using high-efficiency mechanical equipment may improve the percentage by which your building compares with the code building.

Step 5: View/Print the Compliance Report. When the compliance bar shows that the building passes the code, select View/Print Report from the File menu.

Step 6: Save your data file using File->Save and your report file using File->Save Report.
