Manual J Load Calculation Report
Frequently Asked Questions
​
What is a Rescheck energy report?
A REScheck energy report is a compliance document used to show that a residential building meets the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). It is commonly required for building permits for new construction, additions, and major renovations.
​
When is a Manual J load calculation required?
A Manual J load calculation is required when installing or replacing HVAC equipment to ensure the system is properly sized according to ACCA standards and local building code requirements.
​
What is the difference between Rescheck and Comcheck?
REScheck is used for residential buildings, while Comcheck is used for commercial buildings. Both are energy compliance reports but apply to different building types and code requirements.
​
How fast can I receive my energy report?
Turnaround times typically depend on project complexity, but most residential reports can be completed within hours once all required information is submitted.

Rescheck
Rescheck was created by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to see that new structures adhere to energy efficiency demands. It can also be used to demonstrate compliance with local, state or federal energy codes for new homes, alterations or additions.
Each building assembly is assessed by Rescheck performing a U-factor x Area (UA) calculation. This calculation establishes the total heat loss (UA) in a house. If the total heat loss through the envelope of the building does not exceed the total heat loss from same building conforming to the code, then the software generates a report that declares the building is compliant with the code.
A Rescheck uses this calculated trade offs. It takes all parts of a home and puts them into an easy-to-read report with a pass or fail grade.
Rescheck Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need a Rescheck report?
A REScheck report is typically required for new residential construction, additions, window replacements, insulation upgrades, orother projects that affect a home’s energy envelope.
​
What information is required to complete a Rescheck?
You will need basic project details such as location, square footage, insulation values, window specifications, and construction type.
​
Does every state require Rescheck?
Most states that follow the IECC energy code accept REScheck reports for residential compliance. However, requirements may vary by jurisdiction.
​
Can a Rescheck fail?
Yes. If insulation values, window performance, or other building components do not meet minimum energy code standards, the report may show non-compliance.
​
Do building departments accept online Rescheck reports?
Yes. REScheck reports generated through approved software are widely accepted by building departments across the United States.

Comcheck Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Comcheck energy report?
COMcheck is a compliance tool used to demonstrate that commercial buildings meet applicable energy code requirements.
​
When is Comcheck required?
It is generally required for new commercial construction, tenant improvements, and major renovations.
​
Does Comcheck cover lighting compliance?
Yes. COMcheck includes lighting power density calculations and other commercial energy compliance requirements.
​
Can I use Comcheck instead of REScheck?
No. COMcheck is specifically for commercial buildings, while REScheck is for residential structures.
​
How quickly can a Comcheck report be completed?
Turnaround time depends on project size and complexity but is often completed within 1–3 business days.
Manual J Calculation
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) developed the Manual J8 Residential Load Calculation, also known as Manual J Calculation for short, which is a tool outlining the specific requirements for generating residential load calculations for single family residences. This is then used to determine the proper size of heating and cooling equipment that goes into a house.
HVAC equipment required to condition interior spaces without wasting energy is determined by window measurements, insulation, roof design, local climate, and many other factors.
​
Manual J Load Calculation FAQs
What is a Manual J load calculation?
A Manual J calculation determines the correct heating and cooling load for a home based on square footage, insulation, windows, climate zone, and other factors.
​
Is Manual J required for HVAC permits?
Many jurisdictions require a Manual J calculation before approving HVAC installations to ensure systems are not oversized or undersized.
​
What happens if HVAC equipment is oversized?
Oversized systems can cause short cycling, uneven temperatures, higher energy bills, and reduced equipment lifespan.
​
How long does it take to complete a Manual J report?
Most reports can be completed within hours once all necessary building information is provided.
​
What documents are needed for a Manual J?
Typically, floor plans, insulation details, window specifications, and project location are required.
tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.
