Form authorized by OHBA, OBOA, LMCBO, February 6, 2012
Guide to the Energy Efficiency esign 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.cov.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 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 (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.
-
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.
