ESNH Updated 2017 Ontario BOPs - Now Open for Stakeholder Comments
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has released proposed changes to the ENERGY STAR for New Homes (ESNH) Standard, Version 12 builder option packages (BOPs) for Ontario.
The revised performance targets and BOPs reflect the changes to the code, per requirements in MMA Supplementary Standard SB-12 Energy Efficiency for Housing (July 7, 2016 update), that will come into effect after December 31, 2016.
Be the first in Canada to train to the new Standard.
EnerQuality is offering two courses - ESNH: Advanced Building Science and ESNH: 2017 Standard - with Andy Oding in Toronto on January 18 & 19, 2017, to get you up to speed.
Day 1: Advanced Building Science (a pre-requisite for day 2) will serve as refresher for long-time participants and introduction for all new staff, vendors and ESNH builders.
Day 2: ESNH 2017 Standard will introduce you to the changes in the new Standard and get you on top of your game.
