These proposed changes relate to technical requirements covering the building envelope; heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment; service water heating and performance compliance options for housing. The new energy objective originally developed for the 2011 National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB), to which the proposed Part 9 energy requirements are attributed, is also being introduced. The energy efficiency of larger non-residential and mixed-use buildings falling under Part 9 is addressed by requiring compliance with the NECB.<\/p>\n<p>The public review closed at 4:00 p.m. EST on March 2, 2012, after which comments will no longer be accepted. The relevant committees of the CCBFC will review every comment that was received up to that date. The committees will then either withdraw the proposed change, recommend that it be reviewed further for future consideration as a proposed change, or recommend that it be approved by the CCBFC, with or without modification.<\/p>\n<p>If approved by the CCBFC, the technical changes to incorporate energy efficiency for housing and small buildings into Part 9 of the 2010 NBC will be published as revisions to the 2010 NBC near the end of 2012.<\/p>\n<style id=\"ea_dynamic_css4055\">#sp-ea-4055 .spcollapsing{height: 0;
