Today on the Reschexpert blog we want to talk to you about using Rescheck to reduce your carbon footprint. We are going to explain this in the simplest most easy to understand terminology so please forgive us for the basicness, but we find a lot of internet articles on Rescheck, Manual J, Manual S, Manual D and Comcheck are far to technical oriented. This leaves the average person lost as to the meaning and industry jargon.

The simplest most easy way to reduce your carbon footprint is to reduce the amount of energy your home uses. Rescheck looks at the amount of insulation that you need in your ceiling, walls, foundation, windows and doors. The insulation on a home acts like a winter coat and keeps the temperature you set inside protected from the temperatures that are outside your home.

If it is 30 degrees out and your thermostat is set to 72 then your HVAC system will need to make up that difference. The insulation levels in your ceiling, walls, windows, doors, and foundation will keep the hot air that is created inside the home and keep the cold 30 degree air outside the home.

These insulation levels in your roof, walls, foundation, windows, and doors are extremely important. Rescheck calibrates each one of those values for the climate zone that your home is being built in. For instance, if 30 degrees is your winter low for the year then your insulation package would customized for that in the software. This means it would require significantly less insulation than a home that was in a climate zone with 10 degree winter low. The same would hold true for differing summer temps in a climate zone.

So however you heat and cool your home. Propane, coal, wood, electricity, natural gas, solar energy, or wind then a Rescheck can help you reduce your carbon footprint by simply allowing you to use less energy heating and cooling your home. Overall Rescheck is a great tool to insure your insulation envelope is suitable for the climate zone you are building in.
