Frequently asked questions
Which 9.36 tier applies in Manitoba?
Tier 1. Manitoba adopted the 2020 national codes with provincial amendments on January 1, 2024, starting at the baseline Tier 1 for housing and small buildings. Manitoba also requires the principal exhaust of a self-contained ventilation system serving a dwelling unit to have heat recovery, which goes beyond the national code.
What does a 9.36 compliance report include?
Everything your permit office needs to see that the house meets Section 9.36: the compliance path, the building envelope and window values, airtightness, ventilation and heating details, and, on the performance path, the results for your house against the reference house.
Prescriptive or performance: which path is right for my project?
Prescriptive works when your assemblies already meet the code tables. Performance lets you balance upgrades across the whole house. Energy Navigator shows you both options side by side, so you can choose before you submit.
How fast can I get my report?
Complete project details make the biggest difference. Energy Navigator shows you up front what your report needs, so nothing holds it up.
Do I need a blower door test?
Only if your energy model uses a measured value. The 2020 code lets your energy model use 3.2 air changes per hour at 50 Pa where construction meets Section 9.25, or 2.5 where the air barrier details are shown to meet the code. If your model uses a tested value, a blower door test confirms it.
