WHAT ARE COMcheck & REScheck REPORTS?

COMcheck and REScheck are software tools used to demonstrate compliance with energy codes for commercial and residential buildings, respectively. They provide a detailed breakdown of how your project meets energy efficiency standards for building envelopes, HVAC systems, lighting, and other crucial elements.

• COMcheck: Used for commercial buildings, COMcheck evaluates the energy performance of building components, such as walls, roofs, HVAC systems, and lighting.
• REScheck: Designed for residential projects, REScheck ensures compliance with energy codes related to the building envelope, insulation, HVAC systems, and other energy-efficient measures.

These reports help ensure your project is aligned with energy standards and facilitates smooth approval for construction.

WHY ARE COMcheck & REScheck REPORTS IMPORTANT?

1. Energy Code Compliance: These reports verify that your building meets the minimum requirements of the 2018 IECC and Massachusetts Stretch Code, ensuring that your project complies with local and state energy standards.

2. Building Permit Approval: A COMcheck or REScheck report is often required for obtaining building permits. By ensuring compliance with energy codes, these reports streamline the permitting process and help you avoid project delays.

3. Cost Savings & Incentives: Proper compliance with energy codes can unlock various financial incentives, such as rebates or tax credits, from programs like Mass Save. A thorough report ensures your project is eligible for maximum incentives.

4. Sustainability & Efficiency: These reports demonstrate a commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable building practices, contributing to the long-term performance of your building and reducing operational costs.
