	  <category>Website Update</category>
      <description><![CDATA[COMcheck version 3.8.0 introduces the Oregon state energy code. Multiple whole building types can now be specified under energy codes that allow such consideration. Track and low voltage lighting have been added to the interior lighting tab, and interior lighting reports have been consolidated into a single report. ASHRAE 90.1 envelope trade-off compliance index calculations now consider lighting energy use and daylight credit. An optional input for visible light transmittance has been added to the envelope tab. The ability to add customized descriptions of building and exterior use areas has been added. ASHRAE 90.1-1989 and 90.1-1999, and 1998 IECC are no longer supported in COMcheck. Numerous corrections to mechanical system requirements have been made. ]]></description>
