Energy code compliance for your permit
Energy calculations that clear the energy code.
Your building department wants proof the envelope and systems meet the adopted energy code. We run the compliance path that fits your project and hand you the report the reviewer expects.
What it is
Energy code compliance shows that insulation, windows, air leakage, ducts and equipment meet the state or local version of the International Energy Conservation Code.
Depending on the jurisdiction that can be a prescriptive check, a REScheck report, or a performance calculation. States that write their own forms, such as Florida, have their own, and we run Florida compliance in EnergyGauge.
When you need it
Energy calculation requirements vary from state to state and sometimes county to county. We start by confirming what your jurisdiction accepts, then run that path.
What we need from you
- Plans with wall, roof and floor assemblies
- Window and door specifications
- Mechanical and water heating equipment
- Project address
What you receive
- Compliance report in the format your jurisdiction accepts
- A list of any items that fail, and options to fix them
- Pairs with your Manual J so the numbers agree
“Amazing company, Scott helped us so quickly. The energy calculations were perfect and delivery very fast. I would recommend this company. Thanks from Tampa.”
Questions
Which compliance path should I use?
The one your jurisdiction accepts that gives you the most flexibility. We will tell you before we start.
Do you do REScheck?
Yes. Custom-home builders have used us for their REScheck reports for years.
My design fails. Now what?
We show you which trade-offs bring it into compliance, such as a window upgrade or added insulation, before you commit to a change.
