9 Product Regulations BC Energy Efficiency Act small buildings

10 Product Regulations BC BC Energy Efficiency Act large buildings

11 Product Regulations BC BC Energy Efficiency Act Persons and organizations designated to verify (1.1) All agencies accredited by the NFRC as independent certification and inspection agencies in relation to manufactured fenestration products described in items 37, 41, 42 and 43 of Schedule 1 are designated for the purpose of verifying that those products meet the energy efficiency standards established by this regulation.

12 Product Regulations BC Labels BC Energy Efficiency Act Certified performance (3) For the purposes of section 2 (1) (b) of the Act, every manufactured fenestration product described in items 37 and 43 of Schedule 1, other than those specifically excluded in Column 1 for those items, must also have affixed a removable label setting out the U-value, as verified by a person or organization designated under section 4, expressed in metric units, as follows: (a) for a single operator type, the overall U-value; (b) for a combination or composite fenestration product composed of two or more operator types, each of which has a different U-value, either the overall U-value of the product, or the individual U-value for each of the operator types in the product.

13 Product Regulations BC Labels BC Energy Efficiency Act (4) For manufactured fenestration products described in items 37 and 43 of Schedule 1, other than those products specifically excluded in Column 1 for those items, a certificate setting out the U-value, as verified by a person or organization designated under section 4, of each manufactured fenestration product provided for a specific building project may be posted as required under subsection (5) (b) in substitution for the labels required under subsections (1) and (3). (5) A certificate referred to in subsection (4) must be (a) provided by the supplier of the products described in that subsection, and (b) posted in plain view at the building project for a period of at least 120 days after the last manufactured fenestration product is installed at the building project.

15 Component Modelling Approach Potential glazing assembly compliance tool for BC Energy Efficiency Act, BC Building Code, Vancouver Building Bylaw Challenge with populating database with Canadian components Need for extension to multiple operator types and spandrel panels Two stages of application Design phase and quoting Certification for assurance of performance

16 Spandrel Panels R-15 becomes R-4.8 with thermal bridges

17 Spandrel Panels Opportunity for NFRC to lead on improved energy performance for buildings by certifying and labelling spandrel panels for effective U-value NFRC-100 has the test procedure need certification program and labelling Need to include spandrel panels in CMA
