COMcheck Reports for Commercial Energy Code Compliance
Code-Ready Documentation to Pass Plan Review Faster
If you’re working on a commercial project that requires energy compliance documentation, a COMcheck report is likely on your permitting checklist. At Elements Design Group, we prepare fast, accurate, and jurisdiction-specific COMcheck reports that help you pass plan review and move your project forward without delays.
Our reports meet the requirements of IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, and state-specific energy codes. Whether you’re designing a shell building, tenant improvement (TI), or core-and-shell commercial space, we deliver documentation that’s tailored, compliant, and easy to submit.
What Is a COMcheck?
COMcheck is a software tool developed by the U.S. Department of Energy to help verify that commercial buildings comply with energy codes. It provides a standardized way to document the energy performance of building envelope components, lighting, HVAC, and water heating systems.
Our COMcheck reports summarize this data and present it in the exact format required by building departments—ensuring smooth approvals during permitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
A COMcheck report is a summary of your building’s compliance with commercial energy code requirements, including envelope insulation, lighting power density, HVAC efficiency, and more. It’s submitted with your permit application and often required for approval.
Yes, COMcheck can be completed online or via downloadable software from the DOE. However, it requires precise inputs (U-factors, SHGC, HVAC system performance) and a solid understanding of energy code requirements.
We handle the process for you—so you get a clean, submittal-ready report without risking rejection due to input errors.
To fill out a COMcheck, you’ll need:
- Building envelope data (walls, roof, windows, doors)
- Climate zone and project location
- HVAC system type and efficiency ratings
- Lighting design (interior and exterior)
- Water heating specs
We gather all this from your plans, verify code versions, and generate the report on your behalf.
