1 Permit Applicatin Guide Fr a Garage, Gazeb, Sauna, Pump Huse r Shed The fllwing pages cntain the permit applicatin, as well as ther frms that may be required fr yur permit applicatin. Apprvals required: 1. If yu are ding any new cnstructin r additins t any existing structure yu may require Planning apprval. Building Permit Prcess: 1. An Applicatin fr a Permit t Cnstruct r Demlish is t be fully cmpleted including Rll N.; 2. The fllwing plans are required, depending n the scpe f yur prject. Site plan t scale in metric shwing all structures, prpsed structures, wells, verhead hydr lines, septic system, with dimensins and setbacks; Building plans t scale in imperial (2 sets f each) including; Flr plans Crss sectins (including air barrier lcatin and details) Elevatins Truss plans Engineered flr systems Plumbing Heating systems, duct wrk plans(including Heat lss calculatins) Any engineered dcuments Energy Efficiency 3. Ensure that the Schedule 1 Designer sheet is cmpleted by each individual wh has cmpleted any f the abve nted designs, ie) plumbing, heating, flr plans, etc. 4. Permit fees; 5. A cmpleted septic calculatin sheet, if applicable. The perfrmance level f a septic system must be evaluated if ne r mre f the fllwing are prpsed. Adding Bedrms Adding fixture units, r Increasing the flr area by 15% r greater The daily design flw f the septic system must meet Divisin B f the Ontari Building Cde. A separate applicatin will be required fr a new sewage system r upgrade. Cntents: Applicatin Wrksheet Energy Efficient Design Summary Sheet Electrical Cmpnents Checklist The Building Department can nly accept and review cmplete applicatins and plans. The review is t ensure that they meet Ontari Building Cdes, Municipal by-laws and ther applicable law. If the prject requires a septic apprval, the building permit will nt be issued until such apprval is granted. 3-5 Pineridge Gate Gravenhurst, Ontari P1P 1Z3 Office: (705) Fax: (705) inf@gravenhurst.ca

4 Guide t the Energy Efficiency Design Summary Frm The Energy Efficiency Design Summary frm summarizes the cmpliance path used by a huse designer t cmply with energy efficiency requirements f the Ontari Building Cde. This frm is cmpleted by the persn respnsible fr the energy efficiency design f the prject, and must be submitted with the building permit applicatin. The infrmatin n this frm MUST reflect the drawings and specificatins being submitted, r the building permit will be refused. Refer t Supplementary Standard SB-12 fr details abut building cde cmpliance requirements. Further infrmatin abut energy efficiency requirements fr new buildings is available frm the prvincial building cde website at r the municipal building department. Beginning January 1, 2012, a huse designer must use ne f fur energy efficiency cmpliance ptins in the building cde: Cmply with the SB-12 Prescriptive design tables, Use the SB-12 Perfrmance cmpliance methd, and mdel the design against the prescriptive standards, Design t Energy Star standards, r Evaluate the design accrding t EnerGuide technical prcedures and achieve a rating f 80 r mre. COMPLETING THE FORM B. Cmpliance Optins Indicate the cmpliance ptin being used. SB-12 Prescriptive requires that the building cnfrms t a package f thermal insulatin, windw and mechanical system efficiency requirements set ut in Subsectin f SB-12. Energy efficiency design mdeling and testing f the building is nt required under this ptin. SB-12 Perfrmance refers t the alternative methd f cmpliance set ut in Subsectin f SB-12. Using this apprach the designer must use recgnized energy simulatin sftware (HOT2000 V9.34c1.2 r newer), and submit dcuments which shw that the annual energy use f the building is equal t a prescriptive package. Energy Star huses must be designed t Energy Star requirements and be labelled n cmpletin by Enerquality r ther agency. The Energy Star BOP frm must be submitted with the permit dcuments. EnerGuide80 huses are validated by NRCan authrized energy advisrs and must achieve a rating f 80 r mre when evaluated in accrdance with EnerGuide administrative and technical prcedures. C. Prject Design Cnditins Climatic Zne: The number f degree days fr Ontari cities is cntained in Supplementary Standard SB-1 Windws, Skylights and Glass Drs: If the rati f the ttal grss area f windws, sidelights, skylights and glass drs t the ttal grss area f walls is mre than 17%, higher efficiency glazing is required. If the rati is mre than 22% the SB-12 Prescriptive ptin may nt be used. The ttal area is the sum f all the structural rugh penings. Sme exceptins apply. Refer t f SB-12 fr further details. Fuel Surce and Heating Equipment Efficiency: The fuel surce and efficiency f the prpsed heating equipment must be specified in rder t determine which SB-12 Prescriptive cmpliance package table applies. Other Building Cnditins: These cnstructin cnditins affect SB-12 Prescriptive cmpliance requirements. D. Building Specificatins Thermal Insulatin: Indicate the RSI r R-value being prpsed where they apply t the huse design. Under the SB-12 Prescriptive ptin, RSI 3.52 wall insulatin is permitted in certain cnditins where ther design elements meet higher standards. Refer t SB-12 fr further details. E. Perfrmance Design Summary This sectin is nt required t be cmpleted if the SB-12 Prescriptive ptin is being used. AIRTIGHTNESS REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW HOUSES All huses must cmply with increased air barrier requirements in the building cde. Ntice f air barrier cmpletin must be prvided and an inspectin cnducted prir t it being cvered. A blwer dr test t verify the air tightness f the huse must be cnducted during cnstructin if the NRCan EnerGuide80 ptin is used, r if the SB-12 Perfrmance r Energy Star ptins are used and an air tightness f less than Pa in the case f detached huses, r Pa in the case f attached huses is necessary t meet the required energy efficiency standard. ENERGY EFFICIENCY LABELING FOR NEW HOUSES Energy Star and EnerGuide issue labels fr new hmes cnstructed under their energy efficiency prgrams. The building cde des nt regulate new hme labelling.
