Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP)

5

StrategyBy 2010, achieve performance level 25% better than the Model

National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB) for new commercial and institutional buildings by:

– Encouraging investments in higher energy-efficient new buildings and, building capacity of design community

Policy Instruments

– Financial incentives for design, training

– Information transfer, professionals training– Support for adoption of MNECB– Labeling: Leadership for Energy and Environmental Design

(LEED)– Partnerships – top-up programs and design assistance – Support for technology innovation (equipment – refrigeration)

CBIP

6

• Program based on the 1997 Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB)

• Mandatory requirements for building envelope, lighting, HVAC, service water, heating and electrical.

• The MNECB proposes minimum efficiency standards:

– where a specific regulation is in force, the regulation takes precedence

CBIP and the MNECB

CBIP and IBIP Partners

8

Partnership Initiatives

• Support for green Buildings rating Systems (LEED, Green Globes)

• Top up design assistance or incentive based on MNECB / CBIP

• Organize, deliver integrated design workshops and professionals training on the MNECB, CBIP and software tools (EE-4)

• Support for the implementation of the MNECB

• CBIP / IBIP promotion

9

LEED NC Canada energy efficiency prerequisite is harmonized with CBIP

CBIP will review all EE4 simulations for LEED (before submission to CaGBC)

Industrial Building Incentive Program (IBIP)

36

An incentive program with the objective of fostering the integration of building and process design.

A demonstration program designed to increase the energy efficiency of newly constructed buildings designated for manufacturing and other industrial activities.

Extends from April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2006.

Incentive: Up to $80K, or total design costs, calculated at twice the annual energy savings compared to the reference design

IBIP

37

IBIP

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify, building designers must show their “proposed” building design is expected to consume 25 percent less building energy than a standard or “reference” MNECB building:

15 % of the proposed building energy savings must be attributed to building improvements,

a further 10% building energy savings are related to the integration of process into building operations by: – transfer of energy from the process to the building systems and/or;– process improvements that reduce building system loads.

Thus the building must achieve the same 25 percent energy reduction that a non-industrial CBIP-eligible building must achieve.
