TSA Technical Lecture - Updates to OBC SB-12 - June 22, 2017

The Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is working to finalize the next version of the Supplementary Standard SB-12 (2017) and has published a draft version.  The central thrust of this SB-12 update is for a 15% greater building energy efficiency than currently required for new homes.  In this talk we’ll cover the key changes proposed which include; fewer packages, crediting envelope air leakage reduction, requires heat recovery in ventilation systems and will favour continuous insulation as effective assembly R-values are listed.

Presented by Greg Labbé of BlueGreen Consulting Group.
