CodeComp for Windows (32-bit application):
Version 5.0
Announcing the release of CodeComp 5.0. This new version should be used for all future projects taking advantage of the Simplified Trade-Off Approach for compliance with the building envelope provisions of the Oregon Energy Code. If you are currently working on a CodeComp project using version 4.0, you may have both installations running on your computer at the same time. Otherwise, you may uninstall CodeComp 4.0. Files created in version 4.0 are compatible with version 5.0, although results may vary. To get started, download the CodeComp Setup and install the program. After installation, connect your computer to the Internet and run the CodeComp Live Update companion program that is installed along with CodeComp. Remember to run the CodeComp Update periodically.

Whole Building Approach (not online)
 The Whole Building Approach is rarely used because it is time-consuming and complex. It requires the applicant to model interaction of all of the proposed building elements using the DOE 2.1E building simulation software. A written document describing requirements is titled "Methodology for Compliance using the Whole Building Approach" and available by calling the Oregon Department of Energy at (800) 221-8035, Oregon only (503-378-4040 outside Oregon). Before a decision is made to utilize WBA, consult with Mike Rosenberg at (503) 373-7809.
