Reviewer flagged the load calc
The Manual J doesn't match the plan set, the equipment is oversized, or the method wasn't ACCA-compliant. Now it's a resubmittal cycle instead of an approval.
Manual J/S/D · Florida Energy Code · COMcheck / ResCheck
Your HVAC package is the reason your permit is still sitting in review. Fix that first.
Send the architectural set. Get back a sealed load calculation and energy-code compliance report built to survive the reviewer's first pass — not to trigger the next round of comments.

Sound familiar?
Three ways the energy package stalls a permit.
The mechanical drawings can be perfect and the submittal still bounces on the load calc or the code-compliance form. If any of this is your project right now, here is the fast path through.
No energy-code compliance report
COMcheck or ResCheck was never run, or it doesn't reconcile with the architectural envelope and mechanical schedule. It gets caught eventually — better before submittal than after.
Change order to the mechanical set
Equipment changed, the envelope changed, or the layout shifted after the calc was done, and nobody re-ran the numbers. The permit set and the field no longer agree.

What you get
One sealed package, built to be approved.
Not a spreadsheet you have to reformat for the county. A finished, sealed submittal exhibit.
Manual J / S / D
Room-by-room load calculation, equipment selection, and duct design — ACCA-compliant and matched to the plan set actually being permitted.
Florida energy-code compliance
COMcheck (commercial) or ResCheck (residential) run against the current Florida Building Code energy chapter, reconciled with the envelope and mechanical schedule — not run in isolation.
Sealed and permit-formatted
Delivered as a sealed exhibit in the format your jurisdiction expects — ready to drop into the submittal set, not a raw software export.
Why this matters
A resubmittal on the energy package can cost more than the calc itself.
A load-calc or energy-code comment sends the whole submittal back into the queue behind everyone else's revisions — not just the mechanical sheet. On a schedule-driven build, that delay is the expensive part, not the report.
- One resubmittal cycle typically adds weeks, not days, to the review queue
- A load calc that doesn't match the plan set is a comment the reviewer will catch
- An energy-code report run in isolation from the architectural envelope rarely reconciles
- Getting it right pre-submittal is a fixed, known cost; a rejected review is not
How it works
Send it. Get a date. Get the sealed report.
- Send the architectural and mechanical plan set (PDF is fine)
- We reply within 1 business day with a fixed price and a delivery date
- You approve the scope, we run Manual J/S/D and the energy-code report
- You receive a sealed, permit-formatted package ready for submittal
Send the plan set and we'll tell you exactly what it needs and by when.
