​Description:  

This presentation consists of an overview of the requirements of the National Energy Code for Buildings 2015 (NECB) and its application, and an introduction to HRM’s NECB Compliance Package. Our package consists of several checklists and spreadsheets that will guide a designer through the NECB compliance process. The spreadsheets allow building elements such as the building envelope, lighting and HVAC to be digitally constructed to show evidence of compliance. The Compliance Package is available at no cost from HRM.
