SB-10. This may require energy modeling depending on theoption selected within the standard. 2. Achieve the energy efficiency levels attained by conformingto Section 7 of ASHRAE 189.1-2014 “Standard for the Designof High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-RiseResidential Buildings”, excluding Sections 7.2.b, 7.4.7.3,7.4.8, and 7.5. 3. Achieve the energy efficiency levels attained by conformingto NRCC 56191-2015 NECB “National Energy Code of Canadafor Buildings” and Chapter 3 in Division 3 of SB-10. This mayrequire energy modeling depending on the option selectedwithin the standard. 4. Achieve the energy efficiency levels attained by conformingto Division 5 of SB-10. (Applicable only to certain Part 9 non-residential buildings)Part 9 non-residential buildings that meet certain requirementscan use option #4. All other Part 9 non-residential and Part 3buildings are required to follow one of the first three options. It isimportant to note that the first three options are also required tomeet the carbon dioxide equivalents and peak electric demandrequirements found in Chapter 1, Division 3 of SB-10. 5. Exceed by not less than 13% the energy efficiency levelsrequired by Sentence 12.2.1.1.(2), Division 1 and 2 of MMASupplementary Standard SB-10 as demonstrated using energymodelling under either the energy cost budget method ofASHRAE 90.1-2010 or Part 8 performance compliance of2011 NECB.New MMA SB-10 compliance checklist forms availablefor both Division 3 & Division 5 compliance paths.However, NECB forms not updated to reflect change to2015.Forms available via OBOA website:https://www.buildrightontario.com/mmah/ Volunteerism; We are always looking for more volunteers that can jointhe various committees; · Administration· CTTC (Chapter Technology Transfer Committee)· Grassroots Government AdvocacyCommittee (GGAC)· Historian· Honors and Awards· MP (Membership Promotion)· Newsletter· Refrigeration· RP (Research Promotion)· Special Events· Student Activities· Webmaster· YEA (Young Engineers in ASHRAE)
