Report
Overview
Solara Habitat
Project Information Assumptions Deliverables
The following information was used for
developing the COMCheck report.
• Provided Revit Model & Intake Form
details were used to establish code,
compliance method, and project
details.
• Performance Alternative was
established for Compliance Method.
• Building Characteristics and Features
were selected for more accurate
results.
The following information outlines key
assumptions made when reviewing the
envelope:
• Ceilings: Used the model to create
ceiling assemblies and insulation R-
Values.
• Ext. Wall: Leveraged the model to
define wall area, types, and cardinal
directions along with the drawings
to inform wall assemblies, stud
spacing, and insulation R-Values.
• Window: Established window types
with the model provided and used the
drawings for U-Factor and SHGC
values.
• Door: Defined door types and
materials with the model and drawings
• Garage Door: Defined garage door
area with the
model, polystyrene insulated door
cores were assumed.
• Floor: For concrete slab-on-grade,
typical perimeter insulation values and
depth were assumed.

Report Process
The .cxl file contains all data specifically used
to evaluate this building project. To be able
to verify the inputs in this report, the .cxl file
will need to be uploaded to the COMCheck
website/desktop app.
To upload, please open COMCheck, log in
with the user desired, and go to “My
Projects”. Once you click on that section,
you will have the option to choose the .cxl
file from your computer location and upload
it to the software. It is important to press
“save” after the upload, if not the project will
not be added to your projects list, and the
upload process will need to be repeated the
next time the file is open.
Once the file is open, all the inputs can be
reviewed & edited by section. In case of any
modification, we recommend pressing save
after you are done.
To check compliance, click the compliance
button at the top to run again, to verify it is
up to date. If everything is adequate and
correct, save the changes to the .cxl file and
generate the report. Under the user &
password section, the report button will
allow you to generate reports along with the
compliance checklist.
