Performance Design Verification (complete applicable sections if SB-12 Performance, Energy Star or EnerGuide 80 options used] SB-12 Performance: The annual energy consumption of this house as designed is The annual energy consumption using Subsection 2.1.1. SB-12 Package. The software used to simulate the annual energy use of the building is: Energy Star. BOP form attached. The house will be labeled on completion by: The building is being designed using an air leakage of \_ Energy Star and EnerGuide80: Evaluator/Advisor/Rater Name: - [ ] \_ air changes per hour @50Pa. Evaluator/Advisor/Rater Licence #: - F. Declaration [by the person who reviews and takes responsibilty for the energy efficiency design I certify that I have reviewed the design documents submitted with the permit application, that the information contained on this form is consistent with the dasign documents, and that information used in any annual energy use gratulations, If applicable, is a true representation ef the design documents. - [x] Gj (1 Gj =1000M)) LoUCon ## Guide to the Energy Efficiency Design Summary Form Beginning January 1, 2012, a house designer must use one of four energy efficiency compliance options in the building code: The Energy Efficiency Design Summary form summarizes the compliance path used by a house designer to comply with energy efficiency requirements of the Ontario Building Code. This form is completed by the person responsible for the energy efficiency design of the project, and must be submitted with the building permit application. The information on this form MUST reflect the drawings and specifications being submitted, or the building permit will be refused. Refer to Supplementary Standard SB-12 for details about building code compliance requirements. Further information about energy efficiency requirements for new buildings is available from the provincial building code website at www.mah.gov.on.ca, or the municipal building department. 1. Comply with the SB-12 Prescriptive design tables, 2. Use the SB-12 Performance compliance method, and model the design against the prescriptive standards, 3. Design to Energy Star standards, or 4. Evaluate the design according to EnerGuide technical procedures and achieve a rating of 80 or more. ## 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 2.1.1. of SB-12. Energy efficiency design modeling and testing of the building is not required under this option. - SB-12 Performance refers to the alternative method of compliance set out in Subsection 2.1.2. of SB-12. Using this approach the designer must use recognized energy simulation software (HOT2000 V9.34c1.2 or newer), and submit documents which show that the annual energy use of the building is equal to a prescriptive package. - Energy Star houses must be designed to Energy - EnerGuide80 houses are validated by NRCan authorized energy advisors and must achieve a rating of 80 o nore when evaluated in accordance with EnerGuide administrative and technical procedures ## 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 and lass doors to the total gross area of walls is more than 17%, higher efficiency glazing is required. If the ratio i nore than 22% the SB-12 Prescriptive option may not be used. The total area is the sum of all the structur ## D. Building Specifications he SB-12 Prescriptive option, i elements meet higher standards. Refer to SB-12 for further details. ## E. Performance Design Summary This section is not required to be completed if the SB-12 Prescriptive option is being used. ## AIRTIGHTNESS REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW HOUSES ## ENERGY EFFICIENCY LABELING FOR 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. A blower door test to verify the air tightness of the house must be conducted during construction if the NRCan EnerGuide80 option is used, or if the SB-12 Performance or Energy Star options are used and an air tightness of less than 2.5 ACH @ 50 P in the case of detached houses, or 3.0 ACH @ 50 Pa in the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard. Energy Star and EnerGuide issue labels for new homes constructed under their energy efficiency programs. The building code does not regulate new home labelling.
