Frequently asked questions
What does Tier 2 require in New Brunswick?
On the performance path, your modelled house has to use at least 10% less energy than the reference house, cut heat loss through the building envelope by at least 5%, and keep its peak cooling load no higher than the reference house. On the prescriptive path, you earn at least 10 energy conservation points through upgrades such as better walls, windows, airtightness or ventilation. New Brunswick adopted Tier 2 as its minimum on May 1, 2025.
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, or you claim airtightness points on the prescriptive path. 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.
