REScheck & COMcheck Bridgewater MA
Fast, accurate REScheck and COMcheck energy code compliance reports for residential and commercial projects in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. We prepare the documentation your building department needs to issue a permit — without the cost of a full performance-path energy rating when your project does not require one.
What we deliver
A stamped, signed compliance report matched to your plans and ready to upload with your Bridgewater 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 Bridgewater 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?
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 Bridgewater
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Bridgewater 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
- Finished basements, attic conversions, and dormer additions on existing homes
- Additions, alterations, or renovations to a one- or two-family home
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
COMcheck Projects in Bridgewater
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Bridgewater. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- New mechanical (HVAC) or service water heating systems in commercial spaces
- Restaurant build-outs and retail white-box improvements
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- Commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and mixed-use
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
