Article #1631 - Project File Sharing with BECP Compliance Tools

The latest versions of the Building Energy Codes Program compliance tools – COMcheck(Link opens in a new window), COMcheck-Web(Link opens in a new window), REScheck(Link opens in a new window), and REScheck-Web(Link opens in a new window) – have the capability to upload and download files to and from the desktop and Web-based versions of the software you are using.

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

Once you have signed in to either COMcheck-Web or REScheck-Web with your user name and password, the Sign-In/Register box in the upper right corner will become a Save/Load box. Save your current project on the BECP server by typing a name and clicking Save. 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.

Importing COMcheck or REScheck files for use on the Web tools

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:

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.
