John ("HotLine1");
Will New Jersey's Energy Compliance Codes be per IECC, or will NJ compile a State Code of Regulation - similar to California's CCR Title 24, Part 6?
Typically, 90% of my Projects are in California. The remaining 10% are Out-Of-State - in Arizona, Indiana, Nevada, Texas and Utah.
These States have adopted IECC for their Model Code.
Some adopted the 2006 version, others adopted the 2009 version.
For compliance documentation, the "COMcheck" Application was used.
Have not used "RESIcheck", since my Projects are all Commercial / Industrial.
COMcheck is extremely easy to use, and best of all, the complete Application is pre-built, and available on-line for FREE!!!
The only bad thing about the COMcheck Application is attaching the completed Reports to my CAD Electrical Plan Sheets.
The output is either PDF, or RTF (Rich-Text Format).
The PDFs attach in the desired Layout Format, however the output contains too much distortion.
RTF truncates the columns too much, but there is no distortion.
[side note] Thinking of exporting the RTF to an Excel Workbook, for optimum attachment quality.
As to Title 24, Part 6...
Much more involved, as far as Compliance.
No free Compliance Application; only the Forms and Manuals are free on-line.
Forms are PDFs, as are the Manuals.
Appliance Databases are Excel files, and there were AutoCAD .DWG Compliance Forms for the 2005 cycle.
Each new Code Cycle, I compile separate Excel Workbooks, to use as Compliance Applications for Calculations and Generate Forms for attaching to the Electrical Planset Sheets, plus the "Binder Set" Printouts.
Curious to what you're Jurisdiction offers, as well as the details of the Seminars.
