Article #1631 - Project File Sharing with BECP Compliance Tools
The latest versions of the Building Energy Codes Program compliance tools – COMcheck

Exporting COMcheck-Web or REScheck-Web files for use on the desktop versions

You can then save the project to your computer to edit it within COMcheck or REScheck by clicking the Download... link, selecting Save, and assigning a file name. Open the saved file in the desktop software.

To import saved COMcheck or REScheck project files into COMcheck-Web or REScheck-Web, select the Load Project link, the Load a .cck or .rck project file from my computer radio button, the file you want to load from your computer, and the Load Project link.
Moving files from one Web account to another
If you have more than one COMcheck-Web or REScheck-Web account and want to move a project file from one account to another, follow the steps below:
- Save the project to your computer as outlined above from one account
- Close then reopen your Web browser
- Login to COMcheck-Web or REScheck-Web with your other account
- Select the Load Project link, and select the file you just saved on your computer
- Save the file to your current account
File sharing limitations
COMcheck-Web or REScheck-Web almost mirror the desktop tools however, new energy codes and software features are typically transitioned into the Web-based tools after the desktop software, so there may be some compatibility limitations. Users are encouraged to cross-check their compliance results between the Web and desktop tools to make sure that the expected results are the same.
