National Building Code Part 9 energy efficiency requirements take shape

摘要

The development of energy efficiency provisions for housing and small buildings is progressing well. Technical requirements have been prepared and a cost/benefit analysis is underway. Proposed changes are expected to be submitted for public review in late fall 2011. Final changes, providing they are approved by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) in the spring of 2012, will be published late in 2012 as revisions to Part 9 of the 2010 National Building Code of Canada (NBC).
