Frequently asked questions
What tier does my Saskatchewan house need to meet, and why is Saskatoon Tier 2?
Tier 1 is the provincial minimum under the 2020 National Building Code as adopted in Saskatchewan, in effect since April 16, 2025. The City of Saskatoon amended its Building Bylaw to require Tier 2, which means at least 10% better energy performance than the reference house, for permit applications received on or after September 15, 2025. The change supports the city's Low Emissions Community Plan. Outside Saskatoon, confirm the tier with your local permit office.
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?
Not always. 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. Earning airtightness points on the prescriptive Tier 2 path also needs a test.
