What is REScheck?
REScheck is a software tool developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to simplify compliance with energy codes for residential buildings. It evaluates whether a home meets the minimum energy efficiency requirements set by codes such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and state-specific energy codes.
REScheck evaluates key elements of the building envelope, including:
- Insulation Levels: Walls, floors, and ceilings.
- Window and Door Efficiency: U-factor and solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC).
- Air Sealing: Tightness of the building envelope.
- Lighting and HVAC Integration: Coordination with energy-efficient systems.
