REScheck & COMcheck Florida MA
Need a REScheck or COMcheck in Florida? We produce permit-ready energy code compliance reports for homes and commercial buildings across Berkshire 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 Florida building permit application.
Understanding REScheck and COMcheck
These are the two standard software tools plan reviewers accept for energy code compliance. Developed by the DOE, they let a Berkshire County project demonstrate that its envelope (and, for commercial, lighting and mechanical) 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.
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 Florida?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Florida 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
- Finished basements, attic conversions, and dormer additions on existing homes
- Window and insulation upgrades that must be documented for a building permit
When Do You Need a COMcheck in Florida?
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Florida. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- New mechanical (HVAC) or service water heating systems in commercial spaces
- Tenant fit-outs and interior or exterior lighting alterations
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- Restaurant build-outs and retail white-box improvements
- Warehouse, industrial, and light-manufacturing conditioned spaces

Serving Florida and Berkshire County
Florida sits in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, in IECC climate zone 5A — the cold-climate zone that drives the insulation and air-sealing levels your REScheck or COMcheck must document. We prepare compliance reports for projects throughout Berkshire County, matched to the code edition Florida currently enforces.
