{"Image DocumentName": "Energy used by the building Paths of compliance", "Image ImageDescription": "NECB Objective-based. Energy used by the building. Paths of compliance. Prescriptive path. Trade-off path (within the Part) Performance path. Simple payback approach. Energy target. The National Energy Code for Buildings will be in objective-based format as are the National Building, Plumbing and Fire Codes. The NECB 2011 will have a pure energy objective in that it will address energy used by the building and will not codify factors and costs related to energy source and local variations. The provisions will, of course, vary depending on climate zone as determined by heating degree days. It will have three compliance paths: a prescriptive path, a trade-off path that allows for trade-off within a part only, and a performance path. Costs will not be codified, though cost analysis using a simple payback approach will be conducted to support the technical changes. The ultimate performance goal of the National Energy Code for Buildings is to establish an energy target or budget based on class of building, and could take the form of energy used per square meter of building floor area or per cubic meter of building. The modeling procedure of the performance compliance path would then produce an energy usage that could be compared against the energy target. This may not be achievable for the 2011 version, and if not, will be the goal for the subsequent edition.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
