SUMMARY

Design-Phase
Verification for Energy
Code Compliance

Certified Energy Code Plan Review verifies that drawings, specifications, and energy documentation align with IECC requirements and any local amendments before they are submitted for a permit.

This service works closely with our COMcheck/REScheck and Energy Modeling services to ensure consistency across documentation.

This review helps project teams:

Reduce permit rejections and resubmittals

Avoid late-stage design
changes

Confirm the selected compliance path is realistic and buildable

WHAT IS ENERGY CODE PLAN REVIEW

Understanding the Energy Code Plan Review

Energy code plan review is a detailed examination of architectural, mechanical, electrical, and energy documentation to confirm compliance before the permit set is issued.

In simple terms, we tell you whether your drawings will pass the energy code before the city does.

This proactive approach helps ensure that the selected compliance method is achievable, clearly documented, and aligned with project goals, reducing surprises during municipal review.

WHY PLAN REVIEW MATTERS

The Value of Early Energy
Code Review

Energy code plan review is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce
downstream compliance issues.

For Architects & MEP Designers

Ensures design intent aligns with code requirements, reducing the need for back-and-forth with municipal reviewers.

For Owners & Developers

Minimizes permitting delays and confirms energy-related decisions support project goals and budgets.

For Contractors

Provides clarity on construction requirements, reducing conflicts, changes, and field corrections.

For Municipalities & Programs

Improves review efficiency by ensuring submitted plans clearly document the chosen compliance path.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

Our Energy Code Plan
Review Process

Submit Drawings & Documentation

WHEN TO INVOLVE US

When Energy Code Plan Review Is Most Effective

Early engagement consistently yields fewer revisions and smoother
permitting processes.

Plan review delivers the greatest value when initiated:
