REScheck & COMcheck Sandisfield MA
Home Energy Efficiency Consultants prepares REScheck (residential) and COMcheck (commercial) compliance documentation for Sandisfield projects. When your build does not trigger a full HERS rating, these DOE compliance reports are the fast, affordable path to your permit.
What we deliver
A stamped, signed compliance report matched to your plans and ready to upload with your Sandisfield building permit application.
What Is a REScheck and What Is a COMcheck?
Both are free compliance software tools developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to demonstrate that a building meets the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). They document your envelope, and for commercial work your lighting and mechanical systems, so a plan reviewer in Sandisfield can confirm compliance quickly.
What is a REScheck?
REScheck is the DOE’s residential compliance tool. It covers one- and two-family dwellings and low-rise multifamily (three stories or fewer), using a UA trade-off so a stronger wall or roof can make up for a weaker window while the overall envelope still meets the IECC.
What is a COMcheck?
For commercial and four-plus-story residential buildings, COMcheck is required. It documents envelope, lighting, and mechanical compliance against the IECC or ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and produces the certificates a commercial plan reviewer expects.
Is a REScheck Right for Your Sandisfield Project?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Sandisfield that do not trigger a full performance-path energy rating. It is typically the right tool when your project is:
- New residential construction or an addition under 1,200 square feet that does not require a HERS rating
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
- Multifamily buildings of three stories or fewer
- Projects where insulation and window trade-offs are enough to demonstrate compliance
- Finished basements, attic conversions, and dormer additions on existing homes
Commercial Work That Needs a COMcheck in Sandisfield
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Sandisfield. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- Tenant fit-outs and interior or exterior lighting alterations
- Commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and mixed-use
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
