Residential Instructions 

CARESScenarioSelector_18NOV04.zip (30kb) This zip file needs to be extracted to the C:\NOTITIA\DATA\USERFILES folder. It contains 2 files:  "TT Residential Product List_20SEP04.usr" and "TT Residential Scenario Prob_20SEP04.usr".  The Residential Product List has EPA default values for 14 product parameters from REx 4.0G, converted to the appropriate units for CARES.  The Residential Product List is setup to use CAS # 11-1111-1. 

CARES Product Parameters_20SEP04.zip (11kb)
This file needs to be extracted to the C:\NOTITIA\SETTINGS folder. It contains four setting files (*.SET) with EPA default values for product parameters associated with a given residential scenario (D-lawn care.set, D-tree care.set, D-ornamental.set, and D-vegetable.set).  Note: The user will only be able to see these 4 files in the residential product list file after clicking the hotlink button to open the product parameter list.  To do that, open any Residential Product List file, select a product ID, open the product parameter list by clicking the hotlink button (the arrow on top of the product ID value), then select Settings. The user will see and be able to load the four setting files which contain the default EPA settings.
