An Ontario SB-12 energy compliance report demonstrates that a residential building design meets the energy efficiency requirements of the Ontario Building Code. The report evaluates building envelope components, mechanical systems, insulation values, airtightness assumptions, and other efficiency measures through either a prescriptive or performance-based compliance pathway.
Yes. Most new Part 9 residential construction projects in Ontario require energy compliance documentation as part of the building permit application process. An SB-12 report, along with required forms such as the Energy Efficiency Design Summary (EEDS), provides municipalities with the technical information needed to review energy code compliance.
Preparing an SB-12 report typically requires architectural drawings, building specifications, insulation details, window and door information, HVAC system selections, and other project-specific energy data. Green Canada Energy Advisors reviews these inputs, performs the required analysis, and prepares permit-ready documentation aligned with Ontario Building Code standards.
The prescriptive path verifies individual components such as insulation, windows, and mechanical systems against defined standards. The performance path uses energy modelling to evaluate the overall efficiency of the proposed home design against Ontario Building Code requirements.
An SB-12 report is best prepared during the design phase before construction begins. Early review allows potential compliance issues with building assemblies, HVAC systems, and energy targets to be addressed before they create costly revisions.
