REScheck & COMcheck Longmeadow MA
From small additions to commercial fit-outs in Longmeadow, we deliver the REScheck and COMcheck reports your Hampden County building department requires — accurate, signed, and turned around quickly.
What we deliver
A stamped, signed compliance report matched to your plans and ready to upload with your Longmeadow building permit application.
REScheck vs. COMcheck: What’s the Difference?
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 Longmeadow can confirm compliance quickly.
What is a REScheck?
REScheck is DOE software for residential compliance — detached one- and two-family homes and multifamily buildings three stories or fewer. It runs a UA (insulation and window) trade-off calculation against the IECC, letting extra performance in one assembly offset another so the whole envelope still passes.
What is a COMcheck?
COMcheck handles commercial work and high-rise residential of four stories or more. The DOE tool evaluates envelope, lighting (interior and exterior), and mechanical systems against either the IECC or ASHRAE 90.1, with trade-offs allowed across components.
REScheck Projects in Longmeadow
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Longmeadow 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
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
- Multifamily buildings of three stories or fewer
- Projects where insulation and window trade-offs are enough to demonstrate compliance
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
Commercial Work That Needs a COMcheck in Longmeadow
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Longmeadow. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- New mechanical (HVAC) or service water heating systems in commercial spaces
- Commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and mixed-use
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
