Building Energy Codes Program

Commercial Compliance Using COMcheck

The COMcheck materials (software, manual code compliance, and reference guides) simplify and clarify commercial and high-rise residential energy code compliance. Forms and checklists are included for documenting compliance.

Trade-off Approach

The COMcheck software simplifies energy code compliance by offering a flexible computer-based alternative to manual calculations.

The COMcheck-Web online code compliance tool is the web-based version of the COMcheck desktop software. It performs just like the desktop version but requires no download or installation.

Prescriptive Approach

The COMcheck Prescriptive Package Generator is a web-based application that allows you to generate your own code-compliant insulation and window packages rather than following pre-defined prescriptive packages.

Code Enforcement

Inspecting for the Commercial Provisions of the IECC prepared for DOE by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) is another good resource for energy code inspection.
