Title:
Advancing Building Official Capacity for Code Acceleration
Agreement Number:
EAE2415
Agreement Value:
$585,527.00
Agreement Date:
Dec 19, 2023 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
The objective of the Project is to facilitate the Canada-wide adoption of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) 2020 and the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) 2020, and the highest tiers practical, through the delivery of a series of Integrated Design Process (IDP) charrettes using a virtual platform.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:

The Proponent will deliver a series of four (4) IDP charrettes per year, over three (3) years, using a virtual platform where Building Officials will work collaboratively with a team of experts on an actual building design (subject to availability of an appropriate project) or a building archetype simulated design, to develop solutions that demonstrate how to achieve the various levels of energy performance (focusing on the higher tiers). The charrettes will include training on the new codes for Part 3 buildings (commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential) and Part 9 houses, through local subject matter expert (SME) led presentations, collaborative solutions development, and energy modelling. Participants will learn how to combine design and technology solutions in a manner that meets the energy performance requirements. Intrinsic in this activity is the application of "real-world" solutions, including costing estimates, and reference resources.

Program:
Contributions in support of Energy Efficiency
Program Purpose:

The objective is to improve energy efficiency in Canada. Canadian energy users in the industrial, residential, commercial/institutional, and transportation sectors must have access to the information and qualified expertise required to make informed choices on energy consumption in the marketplace. Across all of these sectors, products that use energy and affect energy consumption will be a specific focus.
