We’ve published an updated version of our Guide for New Energy Efficient Buildings. To download it, see the link below.
The guide is intended for use by community governments and businesses that want to build new buildings in the Northwest Territories. It is meant to be a practical, hands-on reference guide for people who are going to ask architects, engineers, builders, and building systems contractors to help them construct new residential and commercial buildings, such as staff housing, office buildings, arenas, garages, etc. It will help you write your request for proposals document so that it spells out your requirements for energy efficiency in a clear way. It can also be used to select energy efficient systems when replacing old equipment in existing buildings.
The updated version incorporates the latest best practices and changes in building codes to provide accurate and up-to-date advice.
