building code compliance requests and other property compliance requests
and/ or inquiries.
Building Code compliance relating to existing structures built without a building
permit and that would otherwise require an occupancy permit will be the sole

reasonableness. Generally, orders should be issued in more serious cases.
Wherever possible, the issuance of orders relating to more minor infractions
should be avoided. Generally, the following progressive approach will be
adopted by the Chief Building Official and Inspectors in dealing with situations
that may result in the issuance of an order:
a) Verbal Persuasion -- depending upon the severity of the matter, persuasion
in person or by telephone should be used before an order is made and
served. In cases were verbal persuasion is used, staff shall document this
communication.
b) Correspondence -- a letter is forwarded to the offender, encouraging and
requesting compliance and demanding a written reply and compliance before
a given date. An inspection report should also be provided to the offender
documenting the nature of the offence.
c) Issuance of the Order-- used as a last resort for minor offences and may be
the first line of action for more serious infractions.
Despite the above, there may be circumstances where even minor infractions are
dealt with immediately by the issuance of an order, such as, in cases where an
individual or company has a history of repeated infractions. In cases involving
unsafe conditions or emergency situations, the immediate issuance of an order
would also be considered appropriate action.
29. RESCINDING ORDERS
The Chief Building Official has the authority to rescind any order made by the
Chief Building Official or by any Inspector. Orders may be rescinded at the
discretion of the Chief Building Official and will be provided in writing. The
following will be considered by the Chief Building Official before rescinding an
order:
a) In cases where the Chief Building Official is of the opinion that the intent and
spirit of the policy for issuance of an order outlined Section 27 of this By-law
was not met; and
b) In cases where an order was made in error or based on incomplete
information and/ or knowledge of the situation.
30. LEGAL ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS
In enforcing the Act, the Chief Building Official and Inspectors shall generally
follow the spirit and intent of the principles and progressive procedure for the
issuing of orders established in Section 27 of this By- law. These steps include:
a) Verbal Persuasion -- depending upon the severity of the matter, persuasion
in person or by telephone should be used before formal legal proceedings are
considered. In cases were verbal persuasion is used, staff shall document
this communication.
b) Correspondence a letter is forwarded to the offender, encouraging and
requesting compliance and demanding a written reply and compliance before
a given date.
c) Commencement of Legal Proceedings -- Will include either the issuance of
tickets under the Provincial Offences Act for more minor infractions or through
the Provincial Court System for more significant offences.
Despite the above, there may be circumstances where even minor infractions are
dealt with immediately through the commencement of legal proceedings, such
as, in cases where an individual or company has a history of repeated
infractions.
31 . USE OF REGISTERED CODE AGENCIES
The Chief Building Official is authorized to enter into and sign contracts for
service agreements with Registered Code Agencies and appoint them to perform
specified functions from time to time in order to maintain the time periods for

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 must accompany the
building permit application. The information on this form MUST reflect the drawings and specifications being
submitted, or the building permit may 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.
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 Enerav 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( such as 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.
Energv 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: Ifthe ratio of thetotal 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 effrCiency 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 aninspection 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 Enemy 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.

BUILDING DIVISION CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY
The purpose of this policy is to recognize an appropriate balance between employees who are
involved with supplementary employment and the corresponding potential for conflict of
interest, including perceived conflict of interest. In doing so, the intent of this policy is to make
a clearer distinction between perceived and direct conflict of interest. The intent is to
proactively avoid the potential for a direct conflict of interest situation and to minimize the
potential for a perceived conflict of interest.
Outside Design and Outside Inspection Services: For the purposes of this policy, design
and inspection services are those building related services that are provided by Building
Department staff on their own personal time and are not affiliated with City working hours or
services.
Direct Conflict of Interest: For the purposes of this policy, a direct conflict of interest involves
any of the following scenarios:
Where an employee provides Corporate plans review and/or inspection services involving a
property where the same employee has provided outside design and/ or inspection services
and/ or related services;
Where an employee offers and/ or provides outside design and/ or inspection and/ or other
related services during normal City working hours;
Where an employee receives payment for outside design and/ or inspection and/ ore other
related services from a contractor, engineering, architectural, or other firm; and
Where an employee, in providing outside design and/ or inspection and/ or other related
services, utilizes corporate vehicles, equipment, computers, software, supplies or other
services (telephone, fax, and email).
This policy applies to all union and non- union employees of the Building Division who provide
services under the authority of the Ontario Building Code Act, as amended.
Employees shall not be prohibited from engaging in supplementary employment, including self-
employment, unless it interferes with their ability to carry out their employment with the City;
involves the use of the City's premises, equipment, or supplies; or places the employee in a
direct conflict of interest with the City.
It is the responsibility of Building Division employees to immediately declare any and all
potential conflict of interest situations to their Supervisors/ Managers prior to taking on any
outside work described in this policy.
Building Division employees are expected to carryout their municipal duties in a consistent and
professional manner and will follow the intent of the City of Timmins' Code of Conduct for
Employees. In doing so, Division staff shall not give preferential treatment, of any sort, in the
review of plans or the completion of inspections that involved outside design, inspection or
other related work that has been completed and/ or declared by Division employees on their
own time.
The Supervisor/Manager will be responsible for conducting periodic reviews of designs and
inspection reports completed by Division staff to ensure that municipal duties have been
carried- out in a consistent and professional manner and that no preferential treatment, of any
sort, is given to any outside design, inspections, or other related work completed by staff for
their client on their own time.
It is the responsibility of the Supervisors/ Managers to proactively avoid any potential conflict of
interest situations by ensuring that a transparent process is established and by ensuring that
their respective employees are familiar with the provisions of this policy.
Supervisors/ Managers shall disclose any potential conflict of interest to their respective
Department Head.
Should it be determined that an employee has purposely contravened this policy, the
Supervisor/Manager and Department Head will take appropriate correction action to discipline
the offending employee, which may include the termination of that employee.
Building Division employees shall not engage in any business or transaction of a financial or
personal nature that would compromise the fair and honest discharge of their official duties
with the Corporation of the City of Timmins.
Where it is believed that a potential direct, or perceived, conflict of interest may exist, the
employee shall fully disclose any potential conflict of interest to the Department Head of the
City. In doing so, the employee shall:
Prior to agreeing to provide any outside design and/ or inspection services and/ or other
related outside services, immediately disclose the potential direct or perceived conflict of
interest to the Department Head.
Disclosure of the potential direct or perceived conflict of interest shall be made through the
prompt completion of a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form, available on the Intranet and
at the Human Resources Department.
In cases where a potential direct conflict of interested is determined by the Department
Head in consultation with the Human Resources Department, the employee, with the
assistance of the Department Head, shall remove himself/herself from the direct conflict of
interest situation.
In removing himself/herself from the potential direct conflict of interest situation, the
affected employee shall not engage in any Building Division plans review and/ or inspection
services that affect the subject property in which outside design and/or inspection services
and/ or other related services have been provided.
