Course description
This course provides an understanding of the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2020 (NECB) for New Brunswick and equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to enhance building energy performance. It is designed for professionals in the building and construction industry who seek to deepen their expertise in energy-efficient building design. The course covers building science principles related to heat and air transfer through the building envelope, key energy efficiency design principles, and the impact of thermal bridging and how to minimize it through better design and construction techniques. Additionally, participants will explore advanced insulation and airtightness methods, as well as strategies for optimizing window placement and efficiency. By the end of the course, participants will be well-prepared to design energy-efficient buildings that meet or exceed NECB 2020 requirements, contributing to sustainable and high-performance building practices.
