Code of conduct for building officials
Purpose:
The Township of Brock Building Department maintains this Code of Conduct in
accordance with the provisions of the Building Code Act. In addition to Article 5: "Code
of Conduct" in the Township's Personnel Policy Manual, which applies to all Township
staff, this Code of Conduct for Building Officials applies to the Chief Building Official
and all Building Officials appointed under the Building Code Act in the performance of
their duties under the Building Code Act and the Building Code.
This Code of Conduct promotes the appropriate standards of behaviour by Building
Officials in the exercise of their powers and the performance of their duties. It prevents
practices which may constitute an abuse of power including unethical or illegal practices
and promotes appropriate standards of honesty and integrity.
Statement:
Building Officials are exposed to potential conflicts of interest because of the special
powers conferred on them. The Township of Brock Building Department is committed
to the highest standards of professionalism, technical competence, skill, honesty,
fairness, and independence. The Township's Building Officials observe both the letter
and the spirit of this Code of Conduct as it pertains to situations that arise in the
performance of their duties.
Procedures:
Township of Brock Building Officials always undertake to:
1. Act in the public interest, particularly regarding the safety of building works and
structures;
2. Avoid situations where there may be, or where there may appear to be, a conflict
between their duties to their clients, their profession, their peers, and the public at
large and their personal interests;
35/73
3. Avoid any conduct that could bring the Building Officials, the Township Brock or
any of the Township's Local Municipalities into disrepute;
4. Extend professional courtesy to all;
5. Not divulge any confidential or sensitive information or material that they become
privy to in the performance of their duties, except in accordance with the laws
governing the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Any
requests for information that is not considered public information will be referred to
the Township Clerk;

Guide to the Prescriptive Energy Efficiency Design Summary Form
This form must accurately reflect the information contained on the drawings and specifications being submitted.
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 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.

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.

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 3.1.2.1. are not requirements. The Table is not intended to require or suggest that
the building meet those airtightness targets. They are provided only as default or reference values for the
purpose of annual energy simulations, should the builder/owner decide to perform such simulations. They are
given in three different metrics; ACH, NLA, NLR. Any one of them can be used. They can be used as a default
values for both a reference and proposed building or, where an air leakage test is conducted and credit for
airtightness is claimed, the airtightness values in Table 3.1.2.1. can be used for the reference building and the
actual leakage rates obtained from the air leakage test can be used as inputs for the proposed building.
OBC Reference Default Air Leakage Rates (Table 3.1.2.1.)

NLR 1.32 L/s/m2
Attached dwelling

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 Performance option is used and an air tightness of less than 3.0 ACH @ 50 Pa (or
NLA or NLR equivalent) in the case of detached houses, or 3.5 ACH @ 50 Pa (or NLA or NLR equivalent) in
the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard.

Production house models are generally distinguished by a unique model name assigned by the builder along with
varying elevation options. The following results apply in the establishment of each certified model application.
1. Each certified model must be consistent in gross floor area. Deviations in floor area, even minor in nature,
require a separate application or a site-specific permit application.
2. Optional variations within each model (e.g., bedroom layouts) are permitted but must be limited to elevation
options that do not increase floor area.
3. Development Services will assign each certified model a unique alphanumeric reference number. This
number will be provided to the builder and referenced on all future permits issued for the same model.
NOTE: Changes to regulations may result in requirement for re-review of existing certified models.
