How Do I Pass a Rescheck?

Today on the Reschexpert blog we will discuss a common question among homeowners, architects, engineers, and other DIY Rescheck creators as it pertains to Rescheck Web and Rescheck Desktop softwares. How do I pass a Rescheck?

The basics you need to pass a Rescheck are as follows:

• PDF Plans
• Jobsite Address
• Square Footage

If you do not have these 3 basic items then trying to start your Rescheck at this point is futile. What you should do is gather this startup information and then proceed to the next steps of this blog post on how to pass a Rescheck.

The next steps you will do when trying to pass a Rescheck is:

• Determine the R Value and area of your roof
• Determine the R Value and area of your walls
• Determine the U Value and SHGC of your windows
• Determine the U Value and SHGC of your doors
• Determine the R Value of your foundation

Once you have these items you are going to download Rescheck Desktop or open up the online version of Rescheck software, Rescheck Web, here https://energycode.pnl.gov/REScheckWeb/

Now on the first page of Rescheck Web you will enter the project data. On the second page you will enter the envelope data. The software will then compare the insulating values of your construction components to the climate zone you are building in and give you a pass or fail score.

In the event that your Rescheck Report passes you can print, sign, and submit to your building department.

In the event that your Rescheck Report fails, you would now have to improve the efficiency of your Roof, Walls, Windows, Doors, or Foundation. Sometimes only one of these items needs an upgrade, sometimes all of them need to be more efficient. Go ahead and find what the perfect setup is for your new construction, addition, or alteration. This is exactly how you pass a Rescheck.
