AI Plan Check for Commissioning and Energy Code Compliance

Commissioning and energy consultants need to verify that MEP systems are designed and installed per design and spec, often with a focus on energy code compliance and energy savings opportunities. AI plan check can be used in a narrow-focus way: upload project documents, add your energy or commissioning requirements as PDFs, and prompt the AI to check against specific codes or sections so the output is relevant to your scope.

Narrow the Focus to What You Care About

If your primary focus is energy code or commissioning criteria rather than full multidisciplinary coordination, you can still use the same tool. At upload there’s a prompt box: tell the AI to check against Title 24, IECC (International Energy Conservation Code), or specific sections. Upload any internal checklists, guidelines, or requirement documents as PDFs and the AI will check the project against those as well. That way you get findings that matter for energy and commissioning without wading through hundreds of unrelated coordination issues.

Submittal Review

When you’re in early enough to do submittal review, you can upload the submittal package along with the drawings and specs. In the prompt, specify that you want to check the submittal against the drawings (or against the project specification). The same per-sheet pricing applies—all inputs must be PDF. If something is in Excel or Word, export to PDF first.

Code and Requirement Library

If you use the same codes or requirement documents on many projects (e.g. IECC, local amendments), you can add them to your account library after the first run. Then you don’t have to re-upload those PDFs for every job; they’re available in your account. That speeds up setup and keeps pricing predictable when you’re not re-paying for the same code pages every time.
