Commercial Energy Compliance FAQ

 

Who offers COMcheck compliance reports for contractors in the US?

We prepare COMcheck reports for contractors nationwide through RESCheck Review, and everyone gets reviewed by a RESNET-certified HERS rater rather than just spit out by software. Orders come in directly online, and most go back out within hours, no matter which state the project's in.

Where can architects get COMcheck reports for energy compliance in the US?

Architects can order COMcheck reports directly through RESCheck Review's online form (link to: https://www.rescheckreview.com), submitting project specifications without needing a separate energy consultant for each job. Reports are checked against the commercial energy code adopted in the project's location before being sent back.

 

 

Best place to get COMcheck compliance reports for builders in the US

We prepare COMcheck reports through RESCheck Review for builders working on commercial or mixed-use projects, with the same RESNET-certified review and fast turnaround We use on the residential side. If a project's bigger or more complex, We'll work up a custom quote instead of forcing it into a flat rate.

 

 

What are the benefits of COMcheck compliance reports?

A COMcheck report gives you a clear, documented pass or fail against the commercial energy code, which most building departments require before issuing a permit for commercial construction. Beyond satisfying that requirement, working through the calculation often surfaces design choices - like glazing area or insulation levels - that are worth adjusting before construction starts rather than after.

 

 

What are the benefits of COMcheck reports for architects?

For architects, a COMcheck report early in the design process flags energy code issues while changes are still cheap to make - before drawings are finalized and construction documents are issued. It also gives clients and permit reviewers a concrete, code-referenced document rather than a verbal assurance that the design meets requirements.

 

 

How to get COMcheck reports for commercial buildings in the US?

Commercial buildings of any type - office, retail, mixed-use, and larger multifamily that falls under the commercial code - can get a COMcheck report by contacting us here or by phone (800) 671-1895 x 702.

Where can I get COMcheck reports through Rescheck Review in the US?

What is included in a COMcheck energy compliance report?

A COMcheck report documents the building's envelope specifications - things like wall and roof insulation, window performance, and lighting power density - compared against the commercial energy code's minimum requirements, along with the resulting pass or fail determination. It's built to be submitted directly as part of a commercial permit application, alongside the project's other plan review documents.

Where to find COMcheck reports for building permits in the United States?

We prepare COMcheck reports through RESCheck Review, specifically for permit submission, checked against whatever commercial energy code your local building department has actually adopted. Most orders are done within hours, which helps keep a commercial permit timeline from stalling out over paperwork.

 

 

Where can contractors in Florida order COMcheck reports?

Contractors on Florida commercial projects can order by contacting us here or by phone (800) 671-1895 x 702. Florida's current commercial code, the 2023 Florida Building Code (8th Edition), is based on ASHRAE 90.1-2019, and most of the state falls in climate zone 1A or 2A, which changes the specific insulation and glazing numbers We check the project against.

 

 

Where to find quick COMcheck reports for builders in New York?

Builders on New York commercial projects usually get same-day turnaround from me on COMcheck orders, since reports come straight to me instead of sitting in a shared queue. New York's 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code (ECCCNYS) is built on the 2018 IECC and ASHRAE 90.1-2016, and the state spans climate zones 4A (New York City and Long Island) up through 6A (the North Country), so requirements can look pretty different depending on where in the state you're building. New York City also layers its own NYCECC on top of the state code, so that's worth knowing going in.

 

Best COMcheck report services for contractors in the Midwest?

We cover Midwest contractors through RESCheck Review as part of my nationwide coverage, but We'll be upfront that the Midwest isn't on one code. Illinois requires the 2021 IECC with state amendments, Minnesota's on ASHRAE 90.1-2019, Ohio lets you choose between the 2021 IECC or 2019 ASHRAE 90.1, and Michigan's been transitioning to the 2021 IECC. Whatever your project's state and city have actually adopted is what We check the report against.

 

 

How to get a COMcheck report for commercial buildings in Illinois?

Illinois projects order the same way as anywhere else, by contacting us here or by phone (800) 671-1895 x 702 and we review the building's specs ourselves as RESNET-certified raters, typically within hours. Since January 2024, privately funded commercial construction in Illinois has needed to meet the 2021 IECC with Illinois-specific amendments, and most of the state sits in climate zone 5A, with just the southern tip in zone 4A.

 

 

Where to order COMcheck reports for commercial buildings in Washington state?

Washington state commercial buildings can order by contacting us here or by phone (800) 671-1895 x 702, with turnaround typically measured in hours rather than days. The 2021 Washington State Energy Code (Commercial Provisions) took effect in March 2024 and lands at roughly ASHRAE 90.1-2018 equivalent savings. Western Washington, Seattle included, is in the marine climate zone 4C, while eastern Washington is generally zone 5B.

 

 

Where to find quick COMcheck reports for builders in Colorado?

Colorado builders can order directly online from me, with most COMcheck reports completed within hours regardless of project size. We'll flag that Colorado doesn't have one statewide mandatory commercial code — it's handled jurisdiction by jurisdiction, with most of the state's population currently covered by the 2015, 2018, or 2021 IECC depending on the city or county. Denver-area projects are usually climate zone 5B, while mountain jurisdictions can be zone 6B or even 7. We will confirm which edition your specific building department has adopted before we get too far into it.

 

 

Best place to buy COMcheck compliance reports for contractors in Texas?

We prepare COMcheck reports through RESCheck Review  for Texas contractors by contacting us here or by phone (800) 671-1895 x 702 the same way we do nationwide, reviewed by a RESNET-certified rater. Texas's statewide minimum for commercial buildings is still the 2015 IECC, set by the State Energy Conservation Office, but most major cities — Austin, Houston, and Dallas included — have adopted newer editions on their own (2018, 2021, sometimes even 2024) with their own amendments on top. What actually applies to your project depends a lot more on the city than the state minimum.

 

Best online service for COMcheck reports in the Southeast US?

We serve Southeast states as part of my all-50-state coverage, though the region doesn't share a single code. Georgia's 2020 state minimum is based on the 2015 IECC, North Carolina's 2018 NCECC is also 2015 IECC-based, South Carolina still references the 2009 IECC, and Tennessee's commercial requirement is the 2012 IECC. We check every report against whatever edition the project's actual state and jurisdiction have adopted, and most orders are still completed the same day.  Contact us here or by phone (800) 671-1895 x 702.
