Versione 1
Designed to demonstrate a building's compliance to the requirements of the
Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) performance path approach. EE4
CBIP is offered by Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency to
building owners and developers for the design and construction of new
commercial and institutional buildings that use 25% less energy than similar
buildings built to the requirements of the Model National Energy Code for
Buildings (MNECB). EE4 CBIP may also be used to perform non-compliance
energy analyses and thus to predict a building's annual energy consumption, and
to assess the impact of design changes to the building.
1.2.20.1. Expertise Required
Basic understanding of Windows. Knowledge of building modelling. Engineering background helpful
but not required.
1.2.20.2. Users
1000
1.2.20.3. Audience
Mechanical, building, energy engineers and architects working for consulting firms, building owners
and/or designers; building and energy-code verifiers; CBIP application reviewers.
1.2.20.4. Input
Basic information, envelope components areas and characteristics, characteristics of the building's
HVAC, lighting and service water heating systems.
1.2.20.5. Output
Energy consumption and energy cost of proposed design and CBIP reference building. Summary and
detailed compliance reports.
1.2.20.6. Computer Platform
PC-compatible, Windows NT or Windows 95/98/2000 operating system, IBM 486 or Pentium 75 with
at least 16 MB RAM, 40 MB free disk space, SVGA monitor with minimum 800 x 600 resolution.
1.2.20.7. Programming Language
Borland C++
1.2.20.8. Strengths
EE4 CBIP automatically generates a reference building to verify compliance to CBIP requirements
using the performance path approach. EE4 CBIP can also be used in non-compliance mode to predict a
building's annual energy consumption and energy cost. Includes default libraries of common building plants,
systems, construction assemblies and materials, lighting elements, fenestration and operating schedules.
