Tom M - Business OwnerDescription
The National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) sets out technical provisions to address energy efficiency in the design and construction of new buildings and additions to existing buildings. In the context of the NECB, the use of the term “energy efficiency” shall be understood to mean “energy use efficiency.”
Code provisions do not necessarily address all the characteristics of buildings that might be considered to have a bearing on the Code’s objective. Through the extensive consensus process used to develop and maintain Codes Canada (see the section entitled Development of Codes Canada), the code-user community has decided which characteristics should
be regulated through the NECB.
Because the NECB is a model code, its requirements can be considered as the minimum acceptable measures required to adequately achieve the above-listed objective, as recommended by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes. They become minimum acceptable requirements once they are adopted and passed into law or regulation by an authority having jurisdiction: i.e., the requirements represent the minimum level of performance required to achieve the objective that is acceptable to the adopting authority.
