3 Exterior Building Envelope Mandatory Provisions From OBC and SB-10 Checklis Exterior Building Envelope Insulation Values Select Excerpt from SB-10 Tables SB5.5-1 to Air Leakage Rates Window U-Values 1. Climactic Zone 2. Wall/Roof Assembly - Insulation R-Value 3. Window Assembly - Window U-Value 3

4 Exterior Building Envelope Effective R-Value vs. Nominal R-Value Effective R-Values Excerpt from ASHRAE 1365 Air Leakage Rates Window U-Values Continuous Insulation is about the insulation performance Adding more insulation does not mean higher effective R-Value Exterior Building Envelope Thermal Bridging From: Mossison Hershfield Solutions, Floor Slab Edges Count Details Matter Insulation performance is related directly to the details 4

16 Comparing Energy Models Project Results Compared to MNECB 25% over 1997 MNECB or SB-10 Compliance Path 1a Conclusions Key Issues Summary Be aware of the required insulation in your climactic zone; Think effective R-Value rather than nominal and confirm your assumptions early; Energy model during design development to confirm you are meeting your energy targets; Minimize the percentage of glazing and specify the best possible window system within the project budget; Reduce thermal bridging through careful detailing; Ask a lot of questions. Engage in the dialogue. 16
