New Part 9 Residential and Commercial Energy Requirements
- Especially effect on doors and commercial glazing
- What compliance paths are most likely for residential projects?
- Are there commercial projects that would be designed to the prescriptive/tradeoff/performance requirements, or would they be handled under NECB?
- Can available residential and commercial products meet required U-values?
- If commercial under NECB, what U-values are required?
- How do you demonstrate U-values for code compliance?
- Have you simulated your sloped glazing products? At what size?
- Labels – how to understand them
- Example calculation
Speakers - Murray Frank (Constructive Home Solutions) and Kevin Saito (Quality Audting Institute)

Don't Get Hosed - What You Need to Know About Jobsite Water Testing
- “Know your rights”: What the test standard requires: calibrated equipment, proper procedure, complete test reports, personnel training
- What is the correct protocol? (Notification prior to test, opportunity to examine product installation/operation before testing)
- Which definition of failure applies? ASTM, NAFS, or Canadian Supplement? (Leakage failure by product type, ex: sliding sash products)
- How do you challenge a “failure” you think is unfair?
- Who should be informed and present for the testing?
- What percentage of product should be tested? If a failure occurs, what are the next steps?
Speaker - Murray Frank (Constructive Home Solutions) and Kevin Saito (Quality Auditing Institute)
