About
Sarah Torkmani is an energy modeller at EQ Building Performance and an Environmental Engineering graduate of the University of Waterloo. She develops energy models for multi-unit residential buildings across Ontario. The MLI Select program is one of the most influential drivers of energy performance in new multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs). Recent program changes, including the shift from NECB 2017 to NECB 2020 baselines and revisions to tier requirements, have important implications for building design and delivery. This session will explore practical pathways to achieving the updated energy performance requirements, including the technologies, design strategies and building systems needed to reach higher tiers. The speakers will discuss the costs, trade-offs and barriers associated with different compliance pathways, and identify where opportunities and challenges exist for the industry. Sponsored by:
