Frequently asked questions

Which 9.36 tier applies in Yukon, and what's different in Whitehorse?

Yukon enforces the 2020 National Building Code at Tier 1. Homes of 480 square feet or less don't need to meet Section 9.36, and log homes outside Whitehorse are exempt. Whitehorse adds its own bylaw requirements: new dwelling units have to test at no more than 1.5 air changes per hour at 50 Pa, residential buildings need a heat recovery ventilator with at least 64% sensible recovery efficiency at –25 °C, and every new home needs an EnerGuide label at final inspection.

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?

Outside Whitehorse, only if your energy model uses a measured value. In Whitehorse, yes: the bylaw requires new dwelling units to meet 1.5 air changes per hour at 50 Pa, measured with a blower door test.
