About Energy Modelling/Plan Evaluations

Modeling for traditional mechanical, single family residential homes are divided into 4 categories. These categories are defined by complexity and the volume of homes being registered by the Builder. Complexity increases as the number of cantilevers, corners, wall types, and ceiling types increases. Other factors that affect complexity are bonus rooms over garage, attached garage, HRV, walkout basement, crawlspaces, and vaulted ceilings. Complexity will be evaluated on a per-project basis unless an agreement is established between EnerVision and the Builder. Volume models are defined as 100+ spec models/year.

To request energy modeling, the builder uploads the plans and a completed EnerVision spec sheet during home enrolment in CanadaGreenHomes.ca. Once all relevant documents are uploaded, EnerVision will assign a CEA to the job. The modeling will be completed and the file uploaded within 15 business days. Unique plans/specs that do not fit within the 4 categories can take more time to model and are therefore exempt from the 15 business day guarantee.

NOTE: The builder is responsible for communicating any changes to plans/specs throughout the building/certification process prior to the Blower Door Test. After testing, if the results are not what the builder anticipated and the uploaded plans/specs are found to be incorrect, a fee will be charged to the builder to review and update the modeling.
