Hi
Our country requires us to submit a RES check in order to get the permit. Of course this program make no sense, we have spent hours trying to figure it out

I am at a lose as to why it will not get compliant. Also am not sure if we did the crawl space correctly. If any who understand this program can give m some tips would be most grateful!!!
email the saved file to me and I'll look. I've used it but not for a few years

If this is required you likely have a person who will do the energy check for you (maybe for free). Basic process: Once you get the areas of the walls, windows, etc input then you can play with different types of insulation, window glazing and such.
Many areas also have a prescriptive option (such as R-21 walls, windows under a certain u-value) that is easier to understand.
here is the "quick guide" 8)

Thanks for the information
"play" is not the work I would use. There are no instructions nothing to "guide" someone to Fix the problems. I would think that this plan would be fairly strait forward. Like mentioned before have spent hours & hours just getting to the above...with no idea on what they want, how to fix etc. I have googled and googled trying to find help. Very frustrating :)http://countryplans.com/smf/Smileys/default/sadsm.gif
If there are any resources in "non-govermentese" I would be most grateful!!

The RESchek help files can be somewhat daunting as they do seem to be aimed at professional users to a high degree.
I made a couple of changes in the file I was sent and got compliance. Now to see if the AHJ accepts the result.
AHJ = authority having jurisdiction.
Check your Insulation value for walls 2, 3 & 4. You have 0 entered.
