Software Tools

"I'm better able to design efficient buildings with the tools you've developed, and the standards which have been set. Using these tools I'm less likely to miss an energy leak."
- Architect New York

"Truly value the resources you provide and find them relatively easy to work with. Thanks for the effort and assistance. If only all government interactions could be so straightforward and helpful... May your budget and staff prosper! Mightily."
- Architect, Massachusetts

"I cover from Maine to Florida along the east coast, energy codes vary between states as does building practices, using energycodes.gov website, and on-line training of REScheck and COMcheck has greatly helped me understand and keep up to date with the changes for my region."
- Florida Service Rep

"Use of your program has helped in the design of more fuel efficient houses. I now routinely adjust insulation, heating & cooling equipment, and exterior openings with my customers to provide better than required efficiency."
- Builder

"I have been very impressed by the REScheck program. This is the way to spend tax dollars. This simple tool has dramatically improved my understanding of the relationship between insulation and equipment. It has been very helpful."
- Builder

"I think all of you are doing a great job! You are making it easier to validate energy code compliance, but more importantly, you are making it easy for those who would otherwise totally ignore energy conservation. You are also filling a much needed gap by providing a tool that can be easily adopted as a "standard" compliance method for submission to building officials and other enforcing agencies."
- Architect, TX

"It truly is without exception that the Arkansas Energy Offices's efforts in energy code initiatives would be significantly impeded without the resources..... of [the DOE's Building Energy Codes] ..... [Tools like ARKcheck] are prized possessions!"
- Susan Recken (Arkansas Energy Office)

"Wow, The website version is totally cool, or hot, or whatever....it works easily and quickly. Doesn't even need a video to understand how to use it."
- Builder

"This is great! Good work!
- Energy Office Personnel

"REScheck-Web just blew me out of the water!!! It took me about an hour of web searching to find your tool (I searched on "thermal calculations" and found it indirectly by the way of a "links" page on another website) and it is exactly what I needed, and so much more than I expected to find. I can't believe that it took every piece of data I had, held my hand with useful context sensitive help, and delivered a report that I can take into the county!
I'm speechless in admiration and appreciation."
Thank you!!
- Homeowner

"I find the COMcheck software to be the best and easiest tool to confirm compliance and to provide to the building department to show compliance."
- Architect, MA

Technical Support

"I look at DOE as a lifeline to building energy code efforts in North Carolina. They are an excellent resource for technical assistance on the codes and software to show compliance with those codes. I truly appreciate the DOE Building Energy Codes Program, it makes my job a lot easier."
- Billy Hinton (Code Official, North Carolina Department of Insurance)

"Thank you for your help and your quick response. We have completed the energy conservation report with the information you sent us. We will now meet our deadline. We greatly appreciate your efficient and immediate assistance."
- Builder

"DOE's work with Energy Codes is very important. I find it amazing the number of contractors that moan about meeting current codes, when this is not a standard, but a minimum. I think keeping Energy Codes current helps to keep builders up to date, protects the consumer, and helps to reduce our energy dependence. Thanks DOE - Keep up the good work."
- Software User

"My territory (Florida to Maine) I cover as a tech service rep is vastly effected by the energy code changes. I can keep up to date by using energycodes.gov website and the tools there to help my region show compliance."
- Contractor

"Years ago all construction was the same now every home seems to be different. This means we as code officials need to look for more education for our staff, and the reviewers and inspectors need to look at each home in a different way. The inspection list is the best tool you have. It allows the inspectors the a ability to go from job to job and have a short accurate list to look at without needing to look at plans. "
- Code Official

"Although informative, changes often take several years. These new laws are necessary and the information you provide is essential for our businesses. Internet interacting is a great tool for all concerned and updates are of great importance. Please keep up the good work."
- Builder

"The website and tech assistance help us to stay informed of the latest software releases. The software packages are critical tools that enable designers to determine energy compliance easily and at little, to no expense."
- State Agency
