What we deliver
A stamped, signed compliance report matched to your plans and ready to upload with your Sandwich 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 Barnstable County project demonstrate that its envelope (and, for commercial, lighting and mechanical) meets the IECC.
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 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.
REScheck Projects in Sandwich
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Sandwich 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
- Additions, alterations, or renovations to a one- or two-family home
- Projects where insulation and window trade-offs are enough to demonstrate compliance
COMcheck Projects in Sandwich
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Sandwich. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and mixed-use
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
- Restaurant build-outs and retail white-box improvements
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
