REScheck & COMcheck Chesterfield MA
Need a REScheck or COMcheck in Chesterfield? We produce permit-ready energy code compliance reports for homes and commercial buildings across Hampshire 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 Chesterfield building permit application.
Understanding REScheck and 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 Chesterfield can confirm compliance quickly.
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.
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.
When Do You Need a REScheck in Chesterfield?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Chesterfield 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
- Multifamily buildings of three stories or fewer
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
- Projects where insulation and window trade-offs are enough to demonstrate compliance
- Additions, alterations, or renovations to a one- or two-family home
COMcheck Projects in Chesterfield
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Chesterfield. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Restaurant build-outs and retail white-box improvements
- New mechanical (HVAC) or service water heating systems in commercial spaces
- Tenant fit-outs and interior or exterior lighting alterations
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
