There is a new Comcheck software coming. I just navigated through the interface. If you want to try out the New Comcheck Web software you can visit here:
If you travel to the bottom of the screen it will give you a brief description of New Comcheck Web. Here is what it says:
Try the New COMcheck-Web!
A new version of COMcheck-Web is being developed that provides better user nagivation and experience. NOTE: At this time, the new version of COMcheck-Web is intended for evaluation purposes only and cannot be used in project submittals.
So basically once you enter into the New Comcheck Web Link you enter your password like any other session of creating a Comcheck Energy Report. It then logs you into a new Comcheck Web User Interface. What I noticed off the bat is that it is a smoother more user friendly interface and colors. Instead of being centered around the center of the screen many of the project buttons have moved to the left side in a column.
Overall, it looks like a cool update for Comcheck Web. I do have some issues with certain browsers and laptop screen resolution on the current Comcheck Web that makes me have to take unnecessary steps to generate a Comcheck Report. Hopefully New Comcheck is the answer to this and many other issues that people might experience using Comcheck Web.
Thanks again for reading this Comcheck blog post. If you need a Comcheck created for you then email pdf plans, jobsite address, and square footage to Comcheck@comcheck.net for fast affordable Comcheck Service.
Today on the Comcheck report blog we want to talk to you about a specific kind of Comcheck project. Many times the amount of construction does not extend beyond replacing the roof on a commercial structure. At www.Comcheck.net we are the leader in commercial re-roofing Comchecks so we wanted to discuss the topic deeper today in this blog post.
What is re roofing?
Reroofing is the process of installing a new layer of shingles, metal, or slate over an existing commercial roof. This is a common practice when the existing roof is still in good condition but needs a new protective layer. Reroofing can be a cost-effective alternative to a full roof replacement, as it can extend the lifespan of the existing roof for many years.
Here are the benefits of a Commercial re roofing project:
Typically does not disturb the insulation systems of the walls, roof, windows, or doors. Can extend the lifespan of your roof by many years Can save you money compared to a full roof replacement Can be done in a relatively short period of time Can improve the appearance of your commercial structure
Here are some of the signs that your commercial roof may need to be reroofed:
Your roof is more than 20 years old You have missing or damaged shingles, slate, or metal roof sections You have leaks in your roof You have moss or algae growing on your roof Your roof is sagging or buckling
Once you have determined a commercial re roofing will take place your building inspector may require a re-roofing Comcheck.
Here are the 3 ways you can obtain a Re-roofing Comcheck:
DIY Comcheck. Do it yourself Comcheck. Can I do the Comcheck myself? The simple answer is, Yes. There are plenty of tools available in the form of tutorials, videos, and blog posts on our Comcheck blog that could help you create a DIY re roofing Comcheck. Make sure that you have the time and patience to learn a new software. An initial Comcheck can take 12-24 hours for a first time user to navigate Comcheck Web and Comcheck Desktop software correctly.
Have your roofing contractor create the re roofing Comcheck. They are supplying the roof material and labor so they are in a good position to provide the re roofing Comcheck as well.
Hire www.Comcheck.net to create the Re-roofing Comcheck. We offer low fixed cost pricing and can have the re roofing Comcheck back to you in less than 12 hours. All we need is PDF plans, jobsite address, and square footage to get started.
If you are ready to get a Re-roofing Comcheck started then simply email a PDF plan, jobsite address, and square footage to Comcheck@Comcheck.net and we will get you taken care of. Thanks again for reading the Comcheck Energy Report blog and we look forward to helping you on your next Comcheck.
When you are ready to complete a Comcheck and want to know what a Comcheck costs then you have two options. You can do the Comcheck yourself or hire a Comcheck Service like www.Comcheck.net to complete the Comcheck for you.
There is no cost to use COMcheck software. It is a free resource provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). COMcheck is available in two versions: COMcheck-Web and COMcheck Desktop. COMcheck-Web is a web-based application that can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. COMcheck Desktop is a software program that can be downloaded and installed on a Windows computer.
Both versions of COMcheck can be used to determine whether a new commercial or high-rise residential building, addition, or alteration meets the requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1. COMcheck can also be used to comply with several state-specific energy codes.
(Conclusion) What Does a Do It Yourself Comcheck cost?:
$0 although you should consider the amount of time you will need to invest to learn Comcheck Web and Comcheck Desktop software. If it takes you 12-24 hours to learn to use the software proficiently and generate your Comcheck then you should mulitply that by your hourly wage. If you make $20 per hour then the cost of your Do It Yourself Comcheck would be $240-$480, and may or may not be performed 100% correct.
If you lack confidence in your DIY Comcheck then you would add in another 4-8 hours of time for Comcheck corrections in the future. This would add another $80-$160 to your Comcheck Energy report costs bringing you to $320-$640 to create a Comcheck by yourself.

Comcheck Interior Lighting: This is an interior lighting wattage count that is compared to the allowable watts for the type of commercial structure being built.
Comcheck Exterior Lighting: This is an exterior wattage count for the structure that is compared to the allowable watts for the type of exterior area that is being lit.
Comcheck Mechanical: This section hosts the mechanical specifications of the HVAC units being used in your commercial construction project.
Comcheck Checklist: This checklist is used to make your project easy to inspect for the building department.
A COMcheck report is a document that shows whether a new commercial building, high-rise residential building, commercial building addition, or alteration meets the energy code requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1, as well as state-specific codes. COMcheck is a software program developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that is used to generate these reports.
COMcheck reports are typically required by building departments to demonstrate compliance with energy codes before a building permit can be issued. The report will include information about the building’s envelope, lighting, and mechanical systems, as well as a summary of the building’s energy performance.
COMcheck reports can be generated by architects, engineers, energy raters, or other qualified professionals like www.comcheck.net. The process of generating a COMcheck report involves entering information about the building into the software program, such as the building’s type, size, location, and climate zone. The software will then calculate the building’s energy performance and compare it to the energy code requirements. If the building meets the requirements, the software will generate a compliance report.
COMcheck reports are an important tool for ensuring that commercial buildings are energy efficient. By meeting energy code requirements, buildings can save energy and money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve indoor air quality.
Here are some of the benefits of using COMcheck:
COMcheck is a powerful tool that can help you to design and construct energy-efficient buildings.
COMcheck can help you to comply with energy codes, which can save you time and money.
COMcheck can help you to reduce your building’s energy consumption and operating costs.
COMcheck can help you to reduce your building’s environmental impact.
If you are planning to build or renovate a commercial building, I encourage you to learn more about COMcheck and how it can benefit you.

What is the difference between a Comcheck in Construction and a Comcheck in Trucking?
The same word is used in two different industries and Comcheck.net wants to help sort it out by explaining the differnces in the two. Please enjoy this Comcheck.net Comcheck Blog post on the differences between Comcheck Trucking and Comcheck Construction.
Comcheck Trucking:
Comchecks are a form of payment commonly used in the trucking industry. They are issued by Comdata, a financial services company that specializes in providing solutions for the transportation industry. Comchecks can be used to pay for a variety of expenses, such as:
Fuel
Lumper fees
Truck repairs
Tolls
Lodging
Meals
Other incidental expenses
Comchecks are a convenient and secure way for trucking companies to pay their drivers. They are also a good way for drivers to manage their expenses while on the road.
How do comchecks work?
When a trucking company issues a comcheck to a driver, the driver can use it to pay for expenses at participating merchants. The merchant will then submit the comcheck to Comdata for payment. Comdata will then deduct the amount of the comcheck from the trucking company’s account and deposit the funds into the merchant’s account.
Benefits of using comchecks
Convenience: Comchecks are a convenient way for drivers to pay for expenses while on the road. They do not have to carry large amounts of cash or worry about losing their checkbook.
Security: Comchecks are a secure form of payment. They are difficult to counterfeit and can be traced if they are lost or stolen.
Control: Trucking companies can use comchecks to control their drivers’ expenses. They can set limits on the amount of money that a driver can spend on a comcheck and can restrict the types of expenses that can be paid for with a comcheck.
How to cash a comcheck
Comchecks can be cashed at participating truck stops, banks, and other financial institutions. To cash a comcheck, the driver will need to present the comcheck along with a valid form of identification.
Fees associated with comchecks
There are typically no fees associated with using comchecks. However, some merchants may charge a small fee for processing comcheck payments.
Overall, comchecks are a convenient and secure way for trucking companies to pay their drivers and for drivers to manage their expenses while on the road.
Comcheck Construction:
In the construction industry, COMcheck is a software program used to determine whether a building meets the energy efficiency requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1. COMcheck can be used for both new construction and alterations to existing buildings.
There are two main ways to use COMcheck:
Prescriptive method: The prescriptive method uses a set of predetermined requirements for building envelope and mechanical systems. If a building meets all of the prescriptive requirements, it is considered to be compliant with the energy code.
Performance method: The performance method allows for more flexibility in the design of a building. With the performance method, a building is considered to be compliant if it meets a certain energy budget. The energy budget is calculated using a computer simulation program.
COMcheck is a valuable tool for ensuring that buildings are designed and constructed to meet energy efficiency standards. By using COMcheck, architects, engineers, and builders can help to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and save money on energy costs.
In addition to the IECC and ASHRAE Standard 90.1, COMcheck can also be used to meet the energy code requirements of many states and localities. For more information on COMcheck, please visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s website.
Comcheck Conclusion:
Overall, the word Comcheck can mean two very different things. At www.Comcheck.net we offer the Comcheck for construction as a service. If you need a Construction Comcheck created for you then email PDF plans, jobsite address, and square footage to Comcheck@Comcheck.net and we will get you taken care of.
I created this Comcheck Energy Code Chart based upon my daily experience of the past two decades using Comcheck Web and Comcheck Desktop. These are the sources for my data:
Many of the states on this Comcheck Energy Code Chart contain multiple codes. In commercial construction there is typically a code adopted by each state. Throughout our interviews and data study we found some difference between what is required by the state and what is actually being used by local and regional building departments and inspectors. Comchecks can be very tricky and sometimes if a local building inspector has a personal preference for which energy code to use, that is what you have to have on your Comcheck. The building inspector and building department usually is the final source for getting your building permit so if they require a specific energy code, that is what you will need to use. You can try to file for an exemption, but many times this just uses up valuable time and money. In the end, the code the inspector requested for Comcheck is the one that will be on the certificate of occupancy at the end of the project.
Also commercial energy codes for Comcheck change frequently even during a project. Here is an example:
Plans for a new office building are given to the building department on June 15th. This also includes your IECC 2015 Comcheck Energy Report. Then on August 1st you receive a stop work order and a demand that the energy code be updated to IECC 2018. Your project is not completed yet and since the town council met last week and updated the local Energy Code. They would now like your Comcheck Energy Report to reflect this new energy code.
We handle Comcheck Energy Code changes on your Comcheck report free of charge. Commercial building codes are ever changing so this is a very important part of our commercial energy reporting service. We meet daily with building inspectors, building departments, architects, engineers, insulation installers, window manufacturers, and our customers just to stay on top of the latest Comcheck Energy Code information, codes, and data.

Sometimes when you are learning about new softwares like Comcheck Web and Comcheck Desktop issues can arise. One particular error that many people have described typically only happens on laptop computers and not desktop computers. We at www.comcheck.net have experienced this particular error so we found it prudent to make you aware. The particular error shows itself as a “Comcheck Web Projection Factor Error”. If you are experiencing a Comcheck Web Projection Factor error then take a look at this awesome guide below and you should be able to fix it quickly.
We spoke earlier about how to start your DIY Comcheck using Comcheck Web. How about if you do not have constant internet access on your commercial jobsite, or your internet connection is slow and spotty. Comcheck Desktop is the option that you download to your computer and can use without fear of a Comcheck Web Projection Factor error that plagues the Comcheck Web software. If you want to create your Do It Yourself Comecheck using the Department of Energy’s Comcheck Desktop software we found a neat guide below.
Overall, Comcheck is a fantastic reporting system to measure the energy efficiency of New commercial construction, additions to commercial buildings, and alterations or remodels of commercial structures. We appreciate your readership of our Comcheck blog and wish you the best of luck completing your Comcheck.
COMcheck classes are training courses that teach participants how to use the COMcheck software to perform energy code compliance calculations for residential buildings. COMcheck is a software program developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that is used to calculate the overall thermal envelope performance of a Commercial building and to determine whether it complies with the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), ASHRAE, or other state or local energy codes.
COMcheck classes are typically offered in person by www.Comcheck.net. Some community colleges and technical schools also offer COMcheck classes.
COMcheck classes typically cover the following topics:
Introduction to COMcheck software
COMcheck input requirements
COMcheck calculation procedures
COMcheck output reports
COMcheck compliance requirements
COMcheck classes can be taken in person. In-person classes typically last three to five days and include hands-on exercises with the COMcheck software.
Once you have successfully completed a COMcheck class, you will be able to use the COMcheck software to perform energy code compliance calculations for residential buildings. This skill is in high demand among home builders, HVAC contractors, and energy auditors.
Here are some of the benefits of taking a COMcheck class:
Learn how to use the COMcheck software to perform accurate energy code compliance calculations.
Meet the requirements of national building codes and most state and local jurisdictions.
Increase your job prospects and earning potential.
Improve your professional reputation as a skilled and knowledgeable HVAC professional or energy auditor.

Simply email PDF plans, jobsite address, and square footage to Comcheck@comcheck.net and we will get you taken care of.
Today on our Comcheck Energy Report we want to dicuss a rare finding on the Department of Energy’s Comcheck Software. Very few actually get to see the Comcheck Web Comcheck creation software in this state so sit back and enjoy.
It all started when I was working on a Comcheck and I noticed a Red Line appear at the top of my Comcheck Web software. It stated that at 5:00 pm Pacific time that Comcheck Web would be down for maintenance, and promised that it would only be a few minutes.
Specifically Comcheck Web said:
“COMcheck-Web is going down for maintenance at 5:00 PDT. We should be back up and running within a few minutes.”
Comcheck Web Maintenance
Thinking I had more time, I kept creating my Comcheck Energy Report. Then I went to click save and the screen immediately blinked “Application Currently Unavailble.”
Comcheck Web Maintenance
While I wait for Comcheck Web software to come back up I thought I would make a blog post in case someone else experiences Comcheck Errors, Comcheck Maintenance, Comcheck Software not working, or any other plethra of other Comcheck Software updates that might bring your Comcheck energy report creation to a screeching halt.
While I work on the blog post for this scenario let’s talk about what you can do in the meantime. If you have Comcheck Desktop you can create a project on there instead of Comcheck Web. This is a great solution for most projects and will get you out of the woods. However, some Energy Codes are not available in Comcheck Desktop so be sure to check and see that codes like IECC 2018 and IECC 2021 are available in your version of Rescheck Desktop before spending alot of time downloading an recreating your Comcheck.
In my case, I am just going to wait. The Comcheck Web software told me that it would only be a few minutes so thus I must trust it.
Good reading material about Comcheck Projection Factor Error while you wait
It is now 14 minutes after the Comcheck System went down and it is back up again. So off I must go to create another Comcheck. If you find your Comcheck Web software down I hope this article finds you well. I hope it helps you find the patience to wait out a server update or code upgrade when Comcheck is momentarily out of your reach. Best of luck and happy Comchecking.
