Subject:
Defined Terms
Title:
Adding New Cross-Reference that Points to the Defined Terms
Description:
This proposed change adds a new Article to NECB Part 10 to cross-reference the defined terms in Article 1.4.1.2. of Division A, thus aligning Part 10 with the other Parts of the Code.
This change could potentially affect the following topic areas:

Problem

Currently, Part 10 of the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) does not cross-reference the defined terms in Article 1.4.1.2. of Division A, which may lead to confusion for Code users.

Without such a cross-reference, Part 10 is not harmonized with Parts 3 to 8 and 11, which do include such a cross-reference.

Justification

The addition of Article 10.1.1.3., and its cross-reference to Article 1.4.1.2. of Division A, would guide Code users to the correct location for defined terms. This proposed change would also align Part 10 with the other Parts of the NECB.

Designers, engineers, architects, builders, building officials, and consultants.
