Further, that staff respond to the Provincial government’s request for comments on the Green Building Code proposals prior to December 21, 2007, with the following comments:

 

·        The Province must provide educational seminars for builders throughout the province, explaining the new requirements and methods of compliance.

·        Has consideration been given to how non-compliance with these regulations will be enforced? Will the province assist local governments with enforcement in any way?

·        The requirement for RSI-4.2 full-height foundation insulation in regions of 4500 and greater Celsius degree days is extreme, and not practical. While still onerous, a slightly reduced requirement of RSI-3.85 would accommodate 2x6 wall stud construction, as well as most Insulated Concrete Form products. The additional cost to construct a double 2x4 insulated and finished stud wall around the perimeter of the foundation does not appear to have been reasonably accounted for. This requirement will lead to enforcement issues.
