Or
โข Contract demand in excess of 600 kVA
ยป Also applies to Additions and Major Renovation
โข When addition + existing building area > 1000 m2
โข Renovated portions and systems of a 1000 m2 or larger building

ยป Applicable building systems
โข Building Envelope
โข Mechanical systems and equipment, including HVAC
โข Service hot water and pumping
โข Interior and exterior lighting
โข Electrical power and motors
ยป Exceptions
โข Buildings that do not use either electricity or fossil fuels
โข Equipment and portions of building systems that use energy primarily for manufacturing
processes

8. Compliance Approaches
PRESCRIPTIVE
โข Each building/system component should have specific performance value
โข Requires little energy expertise; provides minimum performance requirements; no flexibility
TRADE-OFF
โข Applies to Building Envelope ONLY
โข Component performance value can be less BUT Overall performance of the envelope complies with
ECBC
โข Allows some flexibility through the balance of some high efficiency components with other lower
efficiency components
WHOLE BUILDING PERFORMANCE
Allows flexibility in meeting or exceeding energy efficiency requirements by optimizing system
interactions
ยป Component and Systems Modeling: Envelope, Lighting, HVAC
ยป Physical Processes: Day lighting, Heat-flow, Airflow

10. Administration and Enforcement
1.Understand requirements of the ECBC and apply to building design
2.Construction documents submitted with the permit application contain ECBC compliance information
that can be verified (Compliance Forms and Checklists)
3.Building officials verify through plans that building is ECBC compliant
4.Plans & specifications are followed to ensure ECBC compliance
5.Commissioning & Operations and Maintenance Guidelines provided to building operators
