What is a CCK file?

CCK files mostly belong to ComCheck. CCK files can refer to two different file types, each with a specific purpose:
  • ComCheck Data File: These files are used for energy code compliance. They store data for programs like the ComCheck tool available at EnergyCodes.gov. This type is the most common among CCK files and is used to check building energy efficiency parameters.
  • Circuit Construction Kit File: These files use XML as their internal format. They are created with PhET's Circuit Construction Kit, which is used to simulate electrical circuits. You can view such files by launching the simulation software or opening them in a text editor. More details are available at PhET Circuit Construction Kit. This type helps in constructing and testing circuit design ideas.
  • How to Open and View Them:
  • If you have a ComCheck data file, use the online or desktop energy compliance tool designated for building code review.
  • If your CCK file is from the Circuit Construction Kit, open it with the PhET simulation software or inspect its XML code with a plain text editor.
  • How can I open a CCK file?

    You need a suitable software like ComCheck to open a CCK file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CCK file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CCK file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
