What Is a REScheck and What Is a COMcheck?
REScheck and COMcheck are DOE-developed programs that show a building meets the IECC energy code. Which one your Shutesbury project needs depends on whether the work is residential or commercial — here is how they differ.
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.
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.
When Do You Need a REScheck in Shutesbury?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Shutesbury 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
- Detached accessory structures with conditioned space
- Finished basements, attic conversions, and dormer additions on existing homes
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
COMcheck Projects in Shutesbury
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Shutesbury. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Restaurant build-outs and retail white-box improvements
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Warehouse, industrial, and light-manufacturing conditioned spaces
- New mechanical (HVAC) or service water heating systems in commercial spaces
- Envelope work on commercial structures requiring IECC or ASHRAE 90.1 compliance
