BUILDING ENVELOPE DESIGN Workshop: DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE WITH THE NEW ENERGY EFFICIENCY CODE

Building Envelope Design Case Study: Demonstrating Compliance with the New Energy Efficiency Code

September 20, 2023 | Old Mill Toronto

High-performance building standards and new energy efficiency code updates are driving more projects to consider Target Performance paths set by provincial regulators.

Ontario projects require demonstrating compliance via either a prescriptive or performance pathway set out by the SB-10 guidelines. Furthermore, these requirements projects built in Toronto must meet the EUI, TEDI and GHGI requirements set out by the Toronto Green Standard (TGS) program. This seminar highlights the latest thermal bridging research and resources related to whole-building energy performance: what thermal bridges are; how and where they occur; and how they can be mitigated. Designers, contractors and building owners can expect to learn how thermal bridging impacts a building’s overall energy use and the importance of determining accurate values of thermal transmittance through case studies.
