Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB) for the Commercial Building Incentive Program

MNECB ERRATUM - CBIP INTERPRETATION

In Appendix E of the Model National Energy Code for Buildings, clause E-5.2.12.2.(1) in English, there is a typographic error. The third point in the English text duplicates the text of the second point. The third point is supposed to read:

  • install regulators in the supply duct serving each air flow control area (the loop could be reheat, induction, double bundle, etc.)*

NRC is aware.

Funding for new commercial and institutional buildings from the Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) is based on requirements set out in the Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB). A proposed design must meet MNECB/CBIP mandatory requirements and be at least 25 percent more energy efficient when compared with a reference design as defined by the MNECB.

The MNECB was developed by Canada’s National Research Council (NRC)This link opens a new window. and sets minimum energy efficiency standards for new building construction in Canada.
