Where the space heating equipment efficiency ranges from 78% to 90%, the minimum thermal performance of the building envelope and equipment shall conform to Table 2.1.1.2.B, Zone 1 – Compliance Packages for Space

Heating Equipment with AFUE > or = 78% to 90% c Where electric space heating is used, the minimum thermal performance of the building envelope and equipment shall conform to Table 2.1.1.2.C, Zone 1 – Compliance Packages for Electric Space Heating d Space heating equipment efficiency less than 78% or cannot meet the requirements of the applicable compliance package, energy efficiency shall be achieved by Clause 12.2.1.2.(3)(a) or Subsection 2.1.2. of SB-12 e

Where specified in compliance packages in Tables 2.1.1.2.A, 2.1.1.2.B and 2.1.1.2.C, space heating equipment, domestic hot water heating equipment and heat recovery ventilators shall have the efficiency rating conforming to

Subsection 2.1.1. of SB-12 f Where space heating is supplied by a solid fuel-burning appliance or an earth energy system, the compliance package is permitted to comply with Tables 2.1.1.2.A. and 2.1.1.3.A of SB-12 g All walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors that separate heated space from unheated space, the exterior air or the exterior soil shall have thermal resistance ratings conforming to Subsection 2.1.1. of SB-12 h Insulation shall be provided between heated and unheated spaces and between heated spaces and the exterior

b Basement slab edge is at ground level or within 600 mm to the exterior ground level, insulation round the concrete slab extends not less than 600 mm below the exterior ground level.

Where the concrete slab is within 600 m of the exterior ground, the entire slab is insulated

Framing

c Other: See Insulation inspection for the minimum RSI or (R) Value a The area of the rough openings for the window, sidelights, skylights, glazing in doors (except the main entrance door) and sliding glass doors conform to the permit drawings b Overall coefficient of heat transfer of the glazing upgraded from the selected compliance package for where gross window area ratio is > 17% but more than 22%. Inspector to review window label for maximum U value c Windows, skylight and sliding glass doors meet the overall coefficient heat transfer or corresponding energy rating in accordance with the Compliance Package and EEDS

form

Windows and sliding glass doors have an energy rating and overall coefficient of heat transfer determined from CAN/CSA-A440.2 or NFRC 100 (window specifications to be submitted to inspector prior to installation)

Loadbearing basement windows are double glazed with a low-E coating
