Achieve the energy efficiency levels attained by conforming to ASHRAE Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings and Chapter 2 in Division 3 of

2 Robyn Ellis, B.Eng., CFM Airways Editor Matteo Ravelli Webmaster Jeremy Stockmans SB-10. This may require energy modeling depending on the option selected within the standard. 2. Achieve the energy efficiency levels attained by conforming to Section 7 of ASHRAE Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, excluding Sections 7.2.b, , 7.4.8, and Achieve the energy efficiency levels attained by conforming to NRCC NECB National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings and Chapter 3 in Division 3 of SB-10. This may require energy modeling depending on the option selected within the standard. 4. Achieve the energy efficiency levels attained by conforming to Division 5 of SB-10. (Applicable only to certain Part 9 nonresidential buildings) Part 9 non-residential buildings that meet certain requirements can use option #4. All other Part 9 non-residential and Part 3 buildings are required to follow one of the first three options. It is important to note that the first three options are also required to meet the carbon dioxide equivalents and peak electric demand requirements found in Chapter 1, Division 3 of SB Exceed by not less than 13% the energy efficiency levels required by Sentence (2), Division 1 and 2 of MMA Supplementary Standard SB-10 as demonstrated using energy modelling under either the energy cost budget method of ASHRAE or Part 8 performance compliance of 2011 NECB. New MMA SB-10 compliance checklist forms available for both Division 3 & Division 5 compliance paths.
