Green Canada Energy Advisors delivers energy code compliance reports, energy modelling, and technical documentation for residential and commercial projects across Canada. Our team supports SB-12, BC Energy Step Code, NECB, and other building energy requirements with accurate analysis and permit-ready compliance solutions.
Energy code compliance reports provide the technical documentation required to demonstrate that building designs align with applicable municipal and national energy standards. By combining advanced energy modelling, thermal envelope assessments, and mechanical system evaluations, these reports establish clear performance pathways to support building permit applications and regulatory approvals.
Green Canada Energy Advisors prepares energy compliance documentation for residential and commercial developments across Canada, including projects governed by the Ontario Building Code (OBC), BC Energy Step Code, and the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB). Our registered Energy Advisors review project-specific designs, evaluate energy performance requirements, and deliver accurate technical reports that help streamline municipal permit approvals before construction begins.
Energy code requirements vary based on building type, location, and the standards that apply to each project. Residential construction may follow pathways such as Ontario SB-12, BC Energy Step Code, ENERGY STAR, or EnerGuide requirements, while multi-unit and commercial developments often require energy analysis based on SB-10 or the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB).
Green Canada Energy Advisors prepares energy code compliance reports through detailed reviews of architectural drawings, building envelope assemblies, mechanical systems, and proposed efficiency measures. Our energy modelling process defines the appropriate pathway for each project, evaluates design performance, and produces the technical documentation required for building permit submissions.
From single-family homes to larger residential and commercial developments, our team provides project-specific energy analysis and code documentation for builders, architects, project managers, and owners. Each report is developed to align with applicable energy standards while supporting practical construction decisions throughout the approval process.
Green Canada Energy Advisors helps property owners, managers, and facility teams select the right audit level for their building and budget. Our work supports practical decisions around energy performance, operating costs, and retrofit priorities, while also helping clients prepare for benchmarking, reporting, incentive applications, and long-term decarbonization planning where applicable.
Residential projects in Canada must demonstrate that their designs meet applicable energy performance requirements before receiving building permit approval. Energy code compliance reports provide builders, designers, and homeowners with the technical analysis needed to evaluate building assemblies, mechanical systems, and efficiency measures against the relevant standards.
Green Canada Energy Advisors prepares residential energy compliance reports for projects following requirements such as Ontario SB-12, BC Energy Step Code, ENERGY STAR, and EnerGuide programs. Our energy modelling process reviews architectural plans, insulation specifications, airtightness targets, HVAC configurations, and other building performance factors to establish the appropriate compliance pathway.
From new home construction to high-performance residential developments, our team delivers detailed energy assessments and permit-ready documentation that supports code requirements and informed design decisions. Each report is tailored to the project scope, helping builders and design teams address energy performance requirements early in the construction process.
Green Canada Energy Advisors prepares energy compliance documentation for residential and commercial developments across Canada, including projects governed by the Ontario Building Code (OBC), BC Energy Step Code, and the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB). Our registered Energy Advisors review project-specific designs, evaluate energy performance requirements, and deliver accurate technical reports that help streamline municipal permit approvals before construction begins.
Commercial developments require a specialized approach to energy code analysis due to larger floor areas, complex HVAC integration, and detailed performance requirements. Energy compliance assessments evaluate how architectural design, thermal envelope assemblies, mechanical systems, and lighting efficiency measures align with applicable energy standards before permit approval.
Green Canada Energy Advisors prepares energy compliance documentation for projects governed by Ontario Supplementary Standard SB-10, the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB), and ASHRAE 90.1 requirements. Our energy modelling workflow reviews architectural drawings, mechanical systems, lighting power densities (LPD), controls, and overall building performance to define the appropriate compliance pathway for each development.
From office buildings and institutional facilities to multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs), our team delivers project-specific energy modelling and technical reports that support municipal permit submissions. Tailored to each project’s requirements, our documentation provides owners, architects, and project managers with the performance data needed to address energy code requirements throughout the approval process.
Preparing an energy code compliance report requires a structured, multi-phase review of building design parameters, energy targets, and applicable regulatory standards. The process begins with an evaluation of architectural drawings, envelope assemblies, mechanical configurations, and project specifications to establish the appropriate compliance pathway.
Green Canada Energy Advisors synthesizes advanced energy modelling and building performance analysis to evaluate proposed designs against applicable energy codes. Our technical workflow reviews key parameters, including thermal performance, airtightness targets, HVAC efficiency, and other project-specific requirements before compiling the final compliance documentation.
The resulting technical deliverables provide builders, architects, and project teams with the documentation required for building permit submissions. By addressing energy requirements early in the design process, our approach helps minimize costly redesigns, improve coordination between project teams, and support efficient municipal permit reviews.
Instead of treating energy efficiency as a standalone facility upgrade, our team connects audit findings to retrofit planning, maintenance decisions, and incentive-readiness where applicable. This gives property owners and facility teams stronger documentation for budgeting, funding discussions, and long-term decarbonization planning before physical upgrades move into procurement.

An energy code compliance report is a technical document that demonstrates how a building design aligns with applicable energy standards and code requirements. It typically includes energy modelling, building performance analysis, and review of key elements such as envelope assemblies, mechanical systems, and efficiency measures for building permit submissions.
Energy compliance reports are commonly required for new construction projects where building codes include energy performance requirements. The specific report depends on the project type, location, and applicable standards, such as Ontario SB-12, SB-10, BC Energy Step Code, or the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB).
SB-12 is primarily used for low-rise residential construction in Ontario, while SB-10 applies to larger residential and commercial buildings under the Ontario Building Code. NECB provides energy requirements for many commercial and institutional buildings across Canada. Each pathway has different evaluation methods and performance criteria.
Do residential and commercial buildings require different energy compliance reports?
Energy modelling evaluates how building components and systems work together before construction begins. It helps project teams assess design options, identify potential compliance issues, and prepare the technical documentation required for permit applications and energy performance reviews.
