In Ontario, SB-10 modifies the NECB so that WWR is the same up to the NECB max. However the NECB itself (2011, 2015 and surprisingly 2017) uses the phrase "differs from..." so yes, the WWR would increase for the reference building if the proposed is below the prescribed NECB value.</div> <div style="width: 100%; font-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, 'Slate Pro', sans-serif, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="width: 100%; font-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, 'Slate Pro', sans-serif, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div> <div style="font-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, 'Slate Pro', sans-serif, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></div> <table width="100%" style="background-color:white;border-spacing:0px;"> <tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="font-size: initial; text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0in 0in; font-family: Tahoma, 'BB Alpha Sans', 'Slate Pro'; font-size: 10pt;"> <div><b>From: </b>Kyle Anders via Equest-users</div><div><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, March 14, 2019 9:58 AM</div><div><b>To: </b>Chris Hadlock</div><div><b>Reply To: </b>Kyle Anders</div><div><b>Cc: </b>equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org</div><div><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Equest-users] NECB 2015 Question</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(186, 188, 209); border-top-width: 1pt; font-size: initial; text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></div><br><div id="_originalContent" style=""><div dir="ltr"><div>That's my interpretation, although I know of at least one local code (Ontario's SB-10) that has modified this:</div><div><br></div><div><div><img src="cid:ii_jt8p148x1" alt="image.png" width="544" height="188"><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 14, 2019 at 9:46 AM Chris Hadlock via Equest-users <<a href="mailto:equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org" target="_blank">equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Good morning,<div><br></div><div>This is a question for my follow Canadians that have experience with the NECB 2015 code. </div><div><br></div><div>What is everyone's take on what fenestration area to model for the reference model when the Proposed model area is less than the maximum permitted? </div><div><br></div><div>Specifically, I'm referring to Part 8.4.4.3.3) which states "If the total vertical fenestration and door area to gross wall area (FDWR) of the proposed building differs from the maximum permitted by Article 3.2.1.1., the FDWR of the reference building shall be adjusted proportionally along each orientation until it complies with that Article."</div><div><br></div><div>Do people interpret this as if my Proposed FDWR is say 20%, then my Reference FDWR is to be increased to say 40% (based on a Zone 5 climate)?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Chris</div></div>
