<font size=3>OBC SB-10 offers three paths for compliance (see Division 3,
1.1.2.1.(1):<br><br>
(a) - MNECB performance path - show more than 25% savings over the MNECB,
no changes to the EE4 generated model required. Note, there are no
modifications to the MNECB required. <br><br>
(b) - exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2010 by 5%. This is the performance path,
following 90.1-2010, Section 11 with the modifications specified in
Chapter 2 of SB-10. <br><br>
(c) - meet the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 prescriptive path (with SB-10 Chapter 2
modifications).<br><br>
If following the ASHRAE path make sure the project meets the mandatory
requirements. For example, Section 9.4, Lighting controls - all
kinds of occupancy sensors required where the would not be if following
the MNECB path. <br><br>
If you are following the MNECB path, make it quick. The Ministry is
working to get software for following the ASHRAE envelope trade off
method. As well, canQuest is due out any day now and once it
has been beta tested and approved, the MNECB and EE4 will be dropped from
the OBC.<br><br>

My question is this. On a new construction building (Ontario, Canada) the
baseline should be in accordance to the OBC SB-10 outline. How does
this baseline compare to the MNECB base building? <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
