REScheck & COMcheck Barre MA
Need a REScheck or COMcheck in Barre? We produce permit-ready energy code compliance reports for homes and commercial buildings across Worcester County, matched precisely to your plans so your project clears plan review the first time.
What we deliver
A stamped, signed compliance report matched to your plans and ready to upload with your Barre 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 Barre can confirm compliance quickly.
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.
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.
When Do You Need a REScheck in Barre?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Barre 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
- Additions, alterations, or renovations to a one- or two-family home
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
- Multifamily buildings of three stories or fewer
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
COMcheck Projects in Barre
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Barre. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
- New mechanical (HVAC) or service water heating systems in commercial spaces
- Warehouse, industrial, and light-manufacturing conditioned spaces
- Restaurant build-outs and retail white-box improvements
