New National Energy Code for Buildings Provides Canadians with Energy-Efficient Solutions
90 changes and updates to improve the overall energy performance of new buildings
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 03/14/16 -- New buildings in Canada will become more energy efficient with the introduction of some 90 changes to the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2015.
These changes also harmonize the Code with Canada's energy efficiency regulations and industry standards. Updates can be found in standards for lighting, service water, and HVAC systems, such as gas-fired units on rooftops, and for ventilation systems in enclosed spaces like parking garages or warehouses.
The Code builds on Canada's commitment to work closely with the provinces and territories on the Canadian Energy Strategy, which protects Canada's energy security and encourages energy conservation. Provinces and territories are free to adopt the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings or adapt it to create a code that meets their specific needs.
The National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2015 is published by the National Research Council and developed by the Canadian Commission of Building and Fire Codes in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada.
