This paper explores three energy efficiency upgrade options which improve upon the energy efficiency of the 2012 Ontario Building Code. A home built to the prescribed minimum requirements will perform at a relatively high standard with respect to energy use when compared to homes built less than a decade ago. The Ontario Building Code has recently been updated to reflect a more stringent energy performance standard. Thus, addressing the energy efficiency of residential buildings has a significant role to play in reducing the nation's overall greenhouse gas emissions. The residential sector accounts for approximately one fifth of Canada's secondary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
