This one-day course provides an overview of NECB requirements and descriptions of the three compliance paths (prescriptive, trade-off, and performance). During the training, participants examine a commercial building case study model to learn about the details included in models and the factors that ensure a successful and compliant energy model, a process that covers basic modelling principles. Additionally, this course serves to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different energy modelling software.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand and navigate the different paths to comply with the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB).
