Compliance Software

REScheck™
REScheck was developed to simplify and clarify code compliance with the IECC and a number of state codes. The REScheck residential compliance materials offer two ways to demonstrate compliance: the trade-off approach and the prescriptive packages approach.

RETScreen®
A unique energy awareness, decision support and capacity building tool, developed to address this important deployment barrier. The core of the tool consists of a standardized and integrated project analysis software which can be used world-wide to evaluate the energy production, life-cycle costs and greenhouse gas emission reductions for various types of proposed energy efficient and renewable energy technologies compared to conventional energy projects.

IC3
A web-based software tool designed to provide a simulated performance of energy code compliance for single family residential construction. This software tool has been developed by the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University. The tool can capture quantitative above-code compliance as well as emissions reduction credits for the State Implementation Plan (SIP).
