Rescheck

[RGWhite]

Working with Rescheck and was wondering how you handle additions.  The addition will have it's own mini split system so therefore will not be mechanically tied to the house.  I did an as built and labeled the existing rooms "unconditioned" thinking it would not figured in the energy calc.  I did not put insulation in the existing walls.  The addition had all the insulation.  When I exported the plan to Rescheck it had all the walls and I could tell which ones were the addition by the insulation.  It was more work deleting the existing.  Is there a better way to export an addition so that only the windows, walls of the addition show on the recheck.

Model the existing building as is, must be conditioned space

Model the addition and any demising walls

Model the hvac for the existing building

Model the hvac for the addition

Model any garages if attached

Run the calculation.

Thanks for the response.  So this will run the calculations for both the house and the addition.  How would I separate the two?

No, it will run the calculations for the Addition only, the existing needs to be modeled in order to calculate the added conditioned space.

Jorge,

 

Do you use Rescheck in Fresno?  Down here in SoCal we have to use CalCERTS.

Hi Joe,

I am using CBECC2016 for all my projects now, moved away from EnergyPro and yes, CalCerts for registry
