REScheck vs. COMcheck: What’s the Difference?
REScheck and COMcheck are DOE-developed programs that show a building meets the IECC energy code. Which one your Boylston project needs depends on whether the work is residential or commercial — here is how they differ.
What is a REScheck?
For homes, REScheck is the go-to. This DOE program checks residential envelopes — detached houses and multifamily up to three stories — and allows insulation and fenestration trade-offs to show prescriptive or component-based IECC compliance.
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.
When Do You Need a REScheck in Boylston?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Boylston 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
- Projects where insulation and window trade-offs are enough to demonstrate compliance
- Window and insulation upgrades that must be documented for a building permit
- Multifamily buildings of three stories or fewer
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
COMcheck Projects in Boylston
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Boylston. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
- Tenant fit-outs and interior or exterior lighting alterations
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Warehouse, industrial, and light-manufacturing conditioned spaces
