It’s like GPS…. but for the energy code.
Energy Navigator is a practical tool that helps builders and municipalities understand and manage NBC 9.36 energy code compliance with clarity and consistency.
Problem
Who is behind it?
Energy code requirements have become more complex, and most jurisdictions don’t have the time or expertise to interpret inconsistent submissions. Builders face the same issue from the other side, often guessing which upgrades will pass. At the same time, performance data from the majority of new homes is never collected, which makes it difficult for municipalities, provinces and industry partners to understand trends or plan effective emissions-reduction strategies.
The platform brings prescriptive checks, pathway comparisons and clear guidance into one place. It offers early risk analysis and cost information so builders can choose the right path at the start of design, reducing build costs by up to $5,000 per single detached home. It helps reviewers make quicker decisions while reducing their workload, and it gives builders a reliable way to plan compliant designs without guesswork.
Energy Navigator was developed by Sol Invictus Energy Services, a B-Corp energy consulting firm based in Alberta that specializes in residential energy code compliance. Our team works directly with municipalities, builders and industry partners across Western Canada, giving us a clear understanding of where clarity is needed and how to support better decisions.
