WrightSoft and Manual J questions

WrightSoft and Manual J questions

WrightSoft and Manual J questions

(OP)
Two quick questions:

1) Wrightsoft software residential load calculation PDF reports list the MJ8 U-values under the component construction descriptions. Is there a way to also list the U-nominal values, since I am assuming those are the actual values used in the heating/cooling calculations?

2) The ACCA Manual J examples (and the examples in Wrightsoft Quick Guide) do not contain wall, floor and roof assemblies that meet the IECC 2009 requirements for the specific locations where the houses are located. Is there a way to find an sample Manual J worksheet or Wrightsoft file that has IECC compliant values?
