March 19, 2012 | By HPAC Magazine
Free online presentations explaining the major technical requirements in the 2011 National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) are now available on the National Codes website. These presentations, which replace the cross-country seminars traditionally offered during past model code launches, cover the following topics:
- Overview
- Building Envelope (NECB Part 3)
- Lighting (NECB Part 4)
- Heating, Ventilating and Air-conditioning Systems (NECB Part 5)
- Service Water Heating (NECB Part 6)
- Electrical Power Systems and Motors (NECB Part 7)
- Building Energy Performance Compliance Path (NECB Part 8)
The 2011 NECB provides model energy efficiency requirements for almost all types of buildings, except smaller buildings and housing covered in Part 9 of the National Building Code of Canada. It was prepared by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes in collaboration with the provinces and territories and with technical support and funding provided by the National Research Council of Canada and Natural Resources Canada.
