Building Envelope Code Changes

presented by

Billy Huet

Billy will discuss the Alberta’s new building energy requirement and National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB).  New buildings in Alberta after November 1st 2016 will need to demonstrate compliance with the NECB at the building permit stage. The first half of the presentation will cover some of the core compliance requirements (envelope, lighting, HVAC, etc.) and how to navigate NECB code for new projects in Alberta. The second half of the presentation will discuss the potential impact on the glazing industry and when it is suitable to use energy modelling for NECB compliance.
