NECB (National Energy Code for Buildings)

The National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) is a set of guidelines aimed at improving energy efficiency in new construction and major renovations of commercial and residential buildings in Canada. It establishes standards for things like insulation, HVAC systems, and lighting to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By following the NECB, builders can create more sustainable buildings that save money on energy bills and minimize environmental impact, contributing to a healthier planet. The code is part of Canada's broader efforts to combat climate change and promote energy conservation.
