The new NECB 2011 Workflow Navigator automatically generates the Canadian Reference Building, so demonstrating compliance in Canada couldn’t be easier. The Navigator allows for the sizing, simulation, and reporting of a Building Design compared against the Reference Building while integrating the requirements of the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings.

The National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2011 (NECB) provides minimum requirements for the design and construction of energy-efficient buildings and covers the building envelope, systems and equipment for heating, ventilating and air-conditioning, service water heating, lighting, and the provision of electrical power systems and motors. It applies to new buildings and additions.
