Overview

CAN-QUEST is a Canadian adaptation of eQUEST. This powerful energy modelling software can assess and demonstrate performance path compliance with the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2011 (NECB 2011). It can also be used to support the design of high performance commercial and institutional buildings.

 

Objective

This introductory workshop provides an overview of NECB-2011 and the CAN-QUEST software.

  • Compliance reviewers
  • Code officials
  • Employers who hire energy modellers (e.g. architects)
  • New energy modellers
