G. House Designer The building code requires designers providing information about whether a building complies with the building code to have a BCIN. Exemptions apply to architects, engineers and owners designing their own house.

BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR AIRTIGHTNESS IN NEW HOUSES All houses must comply with increased air barrier requirements in the building code. Notice of air barrier completion must be provided and an inspection conducted prior to it being covered. The air leakage rates in Table 3.1.2.1. are not requirements. The Table is not intended to require or suggest that the building meet those airtightness targets. They are provided only as default or reference values for the purpose of annual energy simulations, should the builder/owner decide to perform such simulations. They are given in three different metrics; ACH, NLA, NLR. Any one of them can be used. They can be used as a default values for both a reference and proposed building or, where an air leakage test is conducted and credit for airtightness is claimed, the airtightness values in Table 3.1.2.1. can be used for the reference building and the actual leakage rates obtained from the air leakage test can be used as inputs for the proposed building. OBC Reference Default Air Leakage Rates (Table 3.1.2.1.) Detached dwelling 3.0 ACH50 NLA 2.12 cm2/m2 NLR 1.32 L/s/m2 Attached dwelling 3.5 ACH50 NLA 2.27 cm2/m2 NLR 1.44 L/s/m2

The building code requires that a blower door test be conducted to verify the air tightness of the house during construction if the SB-12 Performance option is used and an air tightness of less than 3.0 ACH @ 50 Pa (or NLA or NLR equivalent) in the case of detached houses, or 3.5 ACH @ 50 Pa (or NLA or NLR equivalent) in the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY LABELING FOR NEW HOUSES ENERGY STAR and R-2000 may issue labels for new homes constructed under their energy efficiency programs. The building code does not currently regulate or require new home labeling. Form authorized by OHBA, OBOA, LMCBO. Revised November 7, 2016

If the ratio is more than 22%, the SB-12 Prescriptive option may not be used. The total area is the sum of all the structural rough openings. Some exceptions apply. Refer to 3.1.1.1. of SB-12 for further details. Fuel Source and Heating Equipment Efficiency: The fuel source and efficiency of the proposed heating equipment must be specified in order to determine which SB-12 Prescriptive compliance package table applies. Other Building Conditions: These construction conditions affect SB-12 Prescriptive compliance requirements.

D. Building Specifications Thermal Insulation: Indicate the RSI or R-value being proposed where they apply to the house design. Under the SB-12 Prescriptive option, alternative ICF wall insulation is permitted in certain conditions where other design elements meet higher standards. Refer to SB-12 for further details. Where effective insulation values are being used, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may require supporting documentation.

BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR AIRTIGHTNESS IN NEW HOUSES All houses must comply with increased air barrier requirements in the building code. Notice of air barrier completion must be provided and an inspection conducted prior to it being covered. The air leakage rates in Table 3.1.1.4.A are not requirements. This provision is a voluntary provision for when credits for airtightness are claimed. Credit for air tightness allows the designer to substitute the requirements of compliance packages as set out in Table 3.1.1.4.B or 3.1.1.4.C. Neither the air leakage test nor compliance with airtightness targets given in Table 3.1.1.4.A are required, unless credit for airtightness is claimed. Table 3.1.1.4.A provides airtightness targets in three different metrics; ACH, NLA, NLR. Any one of them can be used. OBC Reference Default Air Leakage Rates (Table 3.1.1.4.A)

Building Type Airtightness Targets

ACH @ 50 Pa NLA @ 10 Pa NLR @ 50 Pa

Detached dwelling 2.5 1.26 cm2/m2 1.81 in2/100ft2 0.93 L/s/m2 0.18 cfm50/ft2

Attached dwelling 3.0 2.12 cm2/m2 3.06 in2/100ft2 1.32 L/s/m2 0.26 cfm50/ft2

The building code requires that a blower door test be conducted to verify the air tightness of the house during construction if the SB-12 Prescriptive option with airtightness credit being applied. Results of the airtightness test may need to be submitted to the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Airtightness of less than 2.5 ACH @ 50 Pa (or NLA or NLR equivalent) in the case of detached houses, or 3.0 ACH @ 50 Pa (or NLA or NLR equivalent) in the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard.

E. House Designer The building code requires designers providing information about whether a building complies with the building code to have a BCIN. Exemptions apply to architects, engineers and owners designing their own house. Form authorized by OHBA, OBOA, LMCBO. Revised November 7, 2016.

The Building or Structure covered by this permit must be constructed in accordance with the plans, specifications, documents and other information on the basis of which the Permit was issued or any changes thereto authorized by the Chief Building Official.

The Ontario Building Code requires that all inspections be carried out at Critical Phases of Construction. Please notify Shuniah Building Department at (807) 626-4998, or others as noted, when the following are ready for INSPECTION.

1. EXCAVATION AND FOOTINGS

2. PRE-BACKFILL

3. SEWERS AND DRAINS, WATER SERVICE AND UNDERGROUND PLUMBING

4. SEPTIC SYSTEM (Thunder Bay District Health Unit or MOE for Association Lands)

5. ELECTRICAL SERVICE (Ontario Hydro)

ENCROACHMENT OF OVERHEAD AND UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL POWER LINES

You are not only responsible to call before you dig

to ensure you do not adversely affect buried utility cables, BUT YOU MUST ALSO LOCATE YOUR BUILDING OR STRUCTURE TO MAINTAIN

MINIMUM CLEARANCES FROM OVERHEAD POWER & UNDERGROUND POWER LINES.

THIS CAN AFFECT THE LOCATION OF YOUR BUILDING OR STRUCTURE (This notice is attached to all building permit applications. It contains information important to your project planning)

The permit applicant has a responsibility to ensure that the structure resulting from the permit application does not encroach on required clearances to overhead and underground power cables. Failure to identify and avoid these encroachments has, in the past, resulted in physical injury and/or unexpected costs to the applicant/owner. Expect that your building or part thereof will have to be moved or removed at your expense, where proper clearances have not been adhered to.

Legislation that controls minimum clearances for structures being built near overhead or underground power lines includes the following: Ontario Electrical Safety Code Section 75-312(3)

Contact: Electrical Safety Authority

Phone# 1-877-372-7233

Occupational Health & Safety Act O. Regulation 213/91

Contact: Ministry of Labour

Construction Inspection

Phone # 475-1691

Note: No buildings or structures may be built over top of any underground power line without express written consent from that authority. New driveways into building lots can significantly reduce clearances to power and communication cables that were not originally designated for vehicles passing underneath. You are hereby advised, by way of this notice, that you are responsible to consult with the above mentioned authorities having jurisdiction in this matter and that you must maintain these minimum requirement clearances, in addition to any setbacks and clearances which may otherwise be required by zoning and building code regulations.
