Rescheck Energy Code Chart

We developed this custom energy code chart based on multitude of factors involving our experience using Rescheck Web and Rescheck Desktop. The following methods where used in the creation:

Survey of local building building departments

Interviews with building inspectors

State adopted code information

Data filtering of Reschecks created on our Rescheck Web portal

Sampling of our projects in Rescheck Desktop

Publicly available IECC and ASHRAE code information

You will quickly notice that some states have multiple codes. This is because there may be a state adopted code, but in our research we found a substantial number of jurisdictions using different codes from what is required by the state. This is perfectly normal in world of Rescheck, and you will quickly find that many times the building inspector or building department has preferences based on their local area. Many times these predilections will take priority, and argument of them can prove futile. The building inspector typically has the final say on the Rescheck of a project, and that is why we offer free modifications to your Rescheck. Sometimes the code will change in the middle of a project for example:

You submit your plans on May 1^st along with your Rescheck under IECC 2015 code. On July 1^st the jurisdiction you are building in modifies their Energy Code to IECC 2018. Since you have not completed your project and obtained a certificate of occupancy, the building inspectors requires a resubmittal of your Rescheck under IECC 2018.

In this instance we would handle the code change on your Rescheck free of charge. Rescheck codes are always changing, being modified, and being upgraded. We do our best to keep on top of it because we are on the front line of meeting with building inspectors, talking with contractors, and helping DIY Rescheck creators through the intricacies of Rescheck Web and Rescheck Desktop software every day.
