NECB 2017 Update: Design Impacts and Lighting Requirements

  • Matrix Hotel 10640 100 Avenue Northwest Edmonton, AB, T5J 3N8 Canada (map)

In 2019 the Province of Alberta adopted the latest version of the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB).  This NECB 2017 edition includes important changes to reduce the overall energy loss through building envelope assemblies, as well as more stringent requirements on a variety of systems including energy recovery and lighting.  Modelling for these changes indicates that minimum energy efficiency is approximately 10-14% higher than NECB 2011. 

This presentation will summarize some of the most significant changes in the 2017 edition and highlight potential impacts to new construction and addition projects.
