Incentiveprogram lasted from 1996-2004. 59If the building exceeds therequirements of the code,then some jurisdictions allowlimited relaxation of zoningrequirements for thebuilding.59 From 1996 to 2004, Natural Resources Canada carried out the Commercial Buildings Incentive Program, an initiative to promote the adoption of the ModelNational Energy Code for Buildings, to encourage increased energy efficiency in commercial buildings and to assist in the reduction of greenhouse gasproduction from the commercial buildings sector (Pope and Dubrous 2001). CBIP evaluated the performance of the proposed design by comparing it to areference building constructed with representative envelope, lighting, and HVAC systems. The program evaluation took a whole-building performance approach.60 However, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (national government) is responsible for supervising overall code enforcement efforts.61 However, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (national government) is responsible for supervising overall code enforcement efforts.70

According to ECO-III staff,for other parts of the building code that are now mandatory, inspections are done by local governments.71
