NECB 2011 Alternative Compliance Path resources
The following guidance and tools are available to assist Canadian projects using the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) 2011 for demonstrating energy performance under LEED v4 as established for the approved Canadian Alternative Compliance Path (ACP).
Minimum Energy Performance Calculator for NECB 2011 ACP (Version 1) – This excel-based tool is used for documenting Minimum Energy Performance using the NECB ACP for LEED v4 BD+C and LEED v4 ID+C EA Prerequisite Minimum Energy Performance and EA Credit Optimize Energy Performance. This calculator is for projects registered prior to March 1, 2024.
Minimum Energy Performance Calculator for NECB 2011 ACP (Version 2) – LEED v4 BD+C, ID+C, and multifamily midrise projects registered on or after March 1, 2024, are subject to the LEED v4 energy update. For those projects utilizing NECB 2011, this second version of the calculator can be used to demonstrate compliance for energy performance, using the previous NECB 2011 ACP along with the updated thresholds established for ASHRAE 90.1:2010 and noted in LEED v4 Credit Library for the energy update.
Multifamily Energy Model Simulation Guidelines for the NECB 2011 ACP – This document provides guidance specific to multifamily residential projects using the NECB ACP under LEED v4 BD+C: New Construction and LEED v4 BD+C: Multifamily Midrise.
