What we deliver
A stamped, signed compliance report matched to your plans and ready to upload with your Holland building permit application.
What Is a REScheck and What Is a COMcheck?
These are the two standard software tools plan reviewers accept for energy code compliance. Developed by the DOE, they let a Hampden County project demonstrate that its envelope (and, for commercial, lighting and mechanical) meets the IECC.
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 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.
Is a REScheck Right for Your Holland Project?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Holland 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
- Finished basements, attic conversions, and dormer additions on existing homes
- Multifamily buildings of three stories or fewer
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
COMcheck Projects in Holland
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Holland. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Tenant fit-outs and interior or exterior lighting alterations
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- Commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and mixed-use
- Warehouse, industrial, and light-manufacturing conditioned spaces
