This session explored how the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) and Part 9.36 of the Building Code can be used as practical design guides rather than simple compliance requirements.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of current energy code standards, how they apply in real projects, and ways to use them to enhance collaboration among architects, engineers, builders, and owners. By taking a proactive approach to energy code compliance, participants will learn how to improve building performance, lower operational costs, and create more sustainable and resilient spaces.
