User’s Guide To The National Energy Code For Buildings Is Now Available

The 2014 User’s Guide – National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2011, is a first edition, designed to complement the NECB and to build on the code requirements by providing additional background information, as well as detailed examples and calculations. Of particular interest to designers are the checklists at the end of each part to help them verify that provisions in the NECB have been considered in their design. Used along with the NECB 2011, the User’s Guide facilitates its usage by providing explanatory material and suggested approaches to design or compliance questions. As the NECB offers a number of compliance path options including trade-off paths, code users will find this guide provides clarity by describing the various compliance approaches and including detailed examples of trade-off path calculations.
