REScheck & COMcheck Erving MA
Need a REScheck or COMcheck in Erving? We produce permit-ready energy code compliance reports for homes and commercial buildings across Franklin 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 Erving 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 Erving can confirm compliance quickly.
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.
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.
When Do You Need a REScheck in Erving?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Erving 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
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
- Projects where insulation and window trade-offs are enough to demonstrate compliance
- Window and insulation upgrades that must be documented for a building permit
- Additions, alterations, or renovations to a one- or two-family home
COMcheck Projects in Erving
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Erving. 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
- New mechanical (HVAC) or service water heating systems in commercial spaces
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
- Warehouse, industrial, and light-manufacturing conditioned spaces
