other Act, Law or By-Law that regulates or governs Building Officials or their
functions;

measured against this Code of Conduct. In response to any allegation of a breach of this

Code of Conduct. Where an allegation is made against the Chief Building Official, the

information about energy efficiency requirements for new buildings is available from the provincial building code
website or the municipal building department.
The building code permits a house designer to use one of four energy efficiency compliance options:
1. Comply with the SB-12 Prescriptive design tables (this form is for this option (Option 1)),
2. Use the SB-12 Performance compliance method, and model the design against the prescriptive standards,
3. Design to Energy Star, or
4. Design to R2000 standards.
COMPLETING THE FORM
B. Compliance Options
Indicate the compliance option being used.
SB-12 Prescriptive requires that the building conforms to a package of thermal insulation, window and
mechanical system efficiency requirements set out in Subsection 3.1.1. of SB-12. Energy efficiency design
modeling and testing of the building is not required under this option. Certain substitutions are permitted. In
which case, the applicable airtightness targets in Table 3.1.1.4.A must be met.
C. Project Design Conditions
Climatic Zone: The number of degree days for Ontario cities is contained in Supplementary Standard SB-1
Windows, Skylights and Glass Doors: If the ratio of the total gross area of windows, sidelights, skylights, glazing
in doors and sliding glass doors to the total gross area of walls is more than 17%, higher efficiency glazing is
required. If the ratio is more than 22%, the SB-12 Prescriptive option may not be used. The total area is the sum of all
the structural rough openings. Some exceptions apply. Refer to 3.1.1.1. of SB-12 for further details.
Fuel Source and Heating Equipment Efficiency: The fuel source and efficiency of the proposed heating
equipment must be specified in order to determine which SB-12 Prescriptive compliance package table applies.
Other Building Conditions: These construction conditions affect SB-12 Prescriptive compliance requirements.
D. Building Specifications
Thermal Insulation: Indicate the RSI or R-value being proposed where they apply to the house design. Under
the SB-12 Prescriptive option, alternative ICF wall insulation is permitted in certain conditions where other
design elements meet higher standards. Refer to SB-12 for further details. Where effective insulation values
are being used, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may require supporting documentation.
BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR AIRTIGHTNESS IN NEW HOUSES
All houses must comply with increased air barrier requirements in the building code. Notice of air barrier
completion must be provided and an inspection conducted prior to it being covered.
The air leakage rates in Table 3.1.1.4.A are not requirements. This provision is a voluntary provision for when
credits for airtightness are claimed. Credit for air tightness allows the designer to substitute the requirements of
compliance packages as set out in Table 3.1.1.4.B or 3.1.1.4.C. Neither the air leakage test nor compliance with
airtightness targets given in Table 3.1.1.4.A are required, unless credit for airtightness is claimed. Table
3.1.1.4.A provides airtightness targets in three different metrics; ACH, NLA, NLR. Any one of them can be used.
OBC Reference Default Air Leakage Rates (Table 3.1.1.4.A)

The building code requires that a blower door test be conducted to verify the air tightness of the house during
construction if the SB-12 Prescriptive option with airtightness credit being applied. Results of the airtightness
test may need to be submitted to the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Airtightness of less than 2.5 ACH @ 50 Pa
(or NLA or NLR equivalent) in the case of detached houses, or 3.0 ACH @ 50 Pa (or NLA or NLR equivalent) in
the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard.
E. House Designer
The building code requires designers providing information about whether a building complies with the building
code to have a BCIN. Exemptions apply to architects, engineers and owners designing their own house.

Compliance Result
The design detailed in the above referenced plans complies with the mandatory requirements of the ASHRAE 90.1-2013 Standard and
the additional requirements of Supplementary Standard SB-10. The calculated proposed building energy cost (design energy cost), CO2
emissions and peak electric demand do not exceed the calculated reference building energy cost (energy cost budget) CO2 emissions
and peak electric demand. Therefore, this design DOES COMPLY with the ASHRAE 90.1-2013 ECB compliance methodology and the
additional requirements of Supplementary Standard SB-10.

The following are prescribed as performance standards with respect to the general review of the construction, enlargement or alteration of a building by a member or
holder (of a Certificate of Practice) as provided for in the building code prescribed under the Building Code Act:
1. The member or holder, with respect to the matters that are governed by the building code, shall,
i. make periodic visits to the site to determine whether the work is in general conformity with design documents that were prepared by a member or holder,
ii. inform the client and contractor, in writing, as to the progress and quality of the work that the member or holder has observed during the visits to the site not to be in
conformity with the design documents,
iii. review all changes to the design documents to determine whether the changes conform to the building code,
iv. review and comment on all shop drawings and samples for general conformity with the design concept of the work, and
v. if the member or holder is specifically engaged to coordinate the general review of the professional engineers and reports of the inspection and testing companies,
coordinate the general review of the professional engineers and the reports of the inspection and testing companies that pertain directly to the work being reviewed
and arrange for the distribution of such reports to the client and the contractor, or
vi. if the member or holder is not engaged to perform any or all of the services listed in subparagraph v., cooperate with the professional engineer responsible for the
coordination of the general review in order to assist the professional engineer in the carrying out of the functions described in the subparagraph.
2. In paragraph 1, design document means a design or other document which form the basis for the issuance of a building permit and includes all changes thereto that were
authorized by the Chief Building Official as defined in the Building Code Act.

91a
The following are prescribed as performance standards with respect to the general review of the construction, enlargement or alteration of a building by a professional
engineer (or holder of a Certificate of Authorization) as provided for in the building code prescribed under the Building Code Act:
1. The professional engineer, with respect to the matters that are governed by the building code, shall,
i. make periodic visits to the site to determine, on a random sampling basis, whether the work is in general conformity with the plans and specifications for the building,
ii. record deficiencies found during site visits and provide the client, the contractor and the owner with written reports of the deficiencies and the actions that must be
taken to rectify the deficiencies,
iii. review the reports of independent inspection and testing companies called for in the plans and specifications and which pertain directly to the work being reviewed,
iv. interpret plans and specifications when requested to do so by their clients, contractor or owner and
v. review shop drawings and samples submitted by the contractor for consistency with the intent of the plans and specifications.
2. The professional engineer shall not review work in disciplines for which he or she is not qualified.
3. The professional engineer may delegate one or more of the functions described in paragraph 1 to another person where it is consistent with prudent engineering practice
to do so and the functions are performed under the supervision of the professional engineer.
4. In paragraph a, "plans and specifications" means a plan or other document which formed the basis for the issuance of the building permit and includes all changes thereto
that were authorized by the Chief Building Official as defined in the Building Code Act.
