What we deliver

Understanding REScheck and COMcheck
REScheck and COMcheck are DOE-developed programs that show a building meets the IECC energy code. Which one your Chilmark project needs depends on whether the work is residential or commercial — here is how they differ.
What is a COMcheck?
COMcheck is DOE software for commercial buildings and high-rise residential (four stories or more). It checks the building envelope, interior and exterior lighting, and mechanical systems against the IECC or ASHRAE Standard 90.1, and can trade off components across the design.
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 Chilmark?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Chilmark 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
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
- Additions, alterations, or renovations to a one- or two-family home
- Finished basements, attic conversions, and dormer additions on existing homes
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
COMcheck Projects in Chilmark
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Chilmark. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Tenant fit-outs and interior or exterior lighting alterations
- 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
