Energy Efficiency – Large Residential Buildings

New energy efficiency requirements are changing the way large residential buildings are constructed in British Columbia.

To help the building industry learn how to comply with these changes, the Homeowner Protection Office and BC Hydro Power Smart have produced a series of five Building Smart presentations that examine the new energy efficiency requirements of the BC Building Code for Part 3 Buildings.

Presented by industry professionals, these presentations will help you better understand how to apply the 2011 National Energy Code for
Buildings (NECB) and ASHRAE 90.1 2010 standards to different sections of the Building Code.

BC Building Code - Thermal Envelope Performance - May 16, 2014 This presentation explores the energy efficiency requirements for thermal envelope performance in the new BC Building Code (BCBC) and Vancouver Building By-law (VBBL). It also reviews the envelope requirements in ASHRAE 90.1 2010 and in the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) 2011.
	Sophie Mercier P.Eng. - Morrison Hershfield
BC Building Code - HVAC and Domestic Hot Water - May 30, 2014 This presentation examines the energy efficiency requirements for Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) sections in the new BCBC and VBBL.
	Blair McCarry P.Eng., ASHRAE Fellow, LEED AP - Perkins+Will
	Ken Newbert P.Eng., LEED AP - Integral Group
BC Building Code - Lighting and Electrical Power - June 6, 2014 This Building Smart Presentation provides an overview of energy efficiency requirements for lighting and electrical power in the new BC Building Code.
	Nikolay Smirnov LC, P.Eng., M.Sc. - BC Hydro Power Smart
BC Building Code - Energy Modelling - June 13, 2014 Energy Modellers will soon be using new standards to demonstrate energy efficiency compliance with the upcoming BCBC and VBBL. This presentation provides an overview of those requirements for both ASHRAE 90.1 2010 and the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) 2011.
	Christian Cianfrone M.A.Sc., P.Eng., LEED AP - Morrison Hershfield
BC Building Code - Overview and Compliance - June 18, 2014 Focussed on the new BC Building Code, with a section on the unique requirements of the VBBL, this presentation examines the new energy efficiency requirements in the code and orients professionals with the proposed new model compliance process in BC.
