What we deliver
A stamped, signed compliance report matched to your plans and ready to upload with your Westfield building permit application.
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 Westfield project needs depends on whether the work is residential or commercial — here is how they differ.
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 Westfield?
REScheck is the simplest path for smaller residential projects in Westfield 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
- Multifamily buildings of three stories or fewer
- Window and insulation upgrades that must be documented for a building permit
- Permit applications needing residential envelope documentation on the prescriptive or UA trade-off path
COMcheck Projects in Westfield
COMcheck is required for commercial and larger projects in Westfield. Reach for a COMcheck when your project involves:
- Tenant fit-outs and interior or exterior lighting alterations
- Restaurant build-outs and retail white-box improvements
- High-rise residential buildings of four stories or more
- Medical, dental, and professional office construction
- Commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, and mixed-use
