Guide to the Energy Efficiency Design Summary Form
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
Beginning January 1, 2012, a house designer must use one of four energy efficiency compliance options in the building code:
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 Star requirements and be labelled on completion by Enerquality or other agency.
The Energy Star BOP form must be submitted with the permit documents.
- EnerGuide80 houses are validated by NRCan authorized energy advisors and must achieve a rating of 80 or more 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 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 2.1.1.1. 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, RSI 3.52 wall insulation is permitted in certain conditions where other design 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
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 Pa 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 EFFICIENCY LABELING FOR NEW HOUSES
Energy Star and EnerGuide issue labels for new homes constructed under their energy efficiency programs. The building code does not
regulate new home labelling.
