Designers (names of designers who are responsible for the building code design and whose plans accompany the permit application) Architectural Mechanical Form authorized by OHBA, OBOA, LMCBO, February 6, 2012 ***************************************************************************************************************** GUIDE TO THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN SUMMARY FORM The Energy Efficiency Design Summary form summarizes the compliance path used by a house designer to comply with energy efficiency requirements of the Ontario Building Code. This form is completed by the person responsible for the energy efficiency design of the project, and must be submitted with the building permt application. The information on this form MUST reflect the drawings and specificiations being submitted, or the building permit will be refused. Refer to Supplementary Stanard SB-12 for details about building code compliance requirements. Further information about energy efficiency requirements for new buildings is available from the Provincial Building Code website at or the Municipal Building Department. As of January 1, 2012 a house designer must use one of four energy efficency compliance options in the building code: 1. Comply with the SB-12 Prescriptive design tables 2. Use the SB-12 Performance compliance method, and model the design against the prescriptive standards 3. Design to Energy Star standards, or 4. Evaluate the design according to EnerGuide technical procedures and achieve a rating of 80 or more.

16 COMPLETING THE FORM B. Compliance Options Indicate the compliance option being used. SB-12 Prescriptive requires that the building conforms to a package of thermal insulation, window and mechanical system efficiency requirements set out in Subsection of SB-12. Energy efficiency design modeling and testing of the building is not required under this option. SB-12 Performance refers to the alternative method of compliance set out in Subsection of SB-12. Using this approach the designer must use recognized energy simulation software (HOT2000 V9.34c1.2 or newer), and submit documents which show that the annual energy use of the building is equal to a prescriptive package. Energy Star houses must be designed to Energy Star requirements and be labelled on completion by Enerquality or other agency. The Energy Start BOP form must be submitted with the permit documents. EnerGuide80 houses are validated by NRCan authorized energy advisors and must achieve a rating of 80 or more when evaluated in accordance with EnerGuide administrative and technical procedures. C. Project Design Conditions Climatic Zone: The number of degree days for Ontario cities is contained in Supplementary Standard SB-1. Windows, Skylights and Glass Doors: If the ratio of the total gross area of windows, sidelights, skylights and glass doors to the total gross area of walls is more than 17%, higher efficiency glazing is requried. If the ratio is more than 22% the SB-12 Prescriptive option may not be used. The total area is the sum of all the structural rough openings. Some exceptions apply. Refer to of SB-12 for further details. Fuel Source and Heating Equipment Efficiency: The fuel source and efficiency of the proposed heating equipment must be specified in order to determine which SB-12 Prescriptive compliance package table applies. Other Building Conditons: These construction conditions affect SB-12 Prescriptive compliance requirements. D. Building Specifications Thermal Insulation: Indicate the RSI or R-value being proposed where they apply to the house design. Under the SB-12 Prespective option, RSI 3.52 wall insulation is permitted in certain conditions where other design elements meet higher standards. Refer to SB-12 for further details. E. Performance Design Summary This section is not required to be completed if the SB-12 Prescriptive option is being used. AIR TIGHTNESS REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW HOUSES All houses must comply with increased air barrier requirements in the building code. Notice of air barrier completion must be provided and an inspection conducted prior to it being covered. A blower door test to verify the air tightness of the house must be conducted during construction if the NRCan EnerGuide80 option is used, of if the SB-12 Performance or Energy Star options are used and an air tightness of less than Pa in the case of detached houses, or Pa in the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard. ENERGY EFFICIENCY LABELING FOR NEW HOUSES Energy Star and EnerGuide issue lables for new homes constructed under their energy efficiency programs. The building code does not regulate new home labelling.

21 TOWN OF CARLETON PLACE URBAN FORREST COMMITTEE GUIDELINES & STANDARDS FOR TREE PLANTING AND CONSERVATION PLANS The Town shall require Conservation Plans and Tree Planting Plans for all development including residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Conservation Plan: The conservation plan will have a preliminary assessment by a qualified professional (certified arborist, registered professional forester or other qualified professional), which will determine stands of trees or individual trees on the property which warrant protection. This plan should consider such matters as: The existing health of the tree, grouping of trees or woodlot, hackberry and the quality of such Its degree of sensitivity to grade changes, drainage disruption, changes in water table or any other factors, which may affect the trees Measures that can be taken to protect the trees (tree wells) If trees cannot be protected, consider the reasons why Opportunities for tree planting to mitigate loss of tree or forest cover. The conservation plan will identify how these trees will be protected both above and below ground, as it is important to protect the root systems from soil compaction. The following measures will be undertaken to protect these trees: 1. The identified tree or trees to be protected will be fenced off, a minimum, to the drip line (furthest point of extension of branches) to protect the roots from soil compaction. 2. Above ground utilities shall avoid, where possible, the crowns of the trees. 3. Below ground utilities shall avoid where possible damaging the root system of trees. If utilities are to be placed below ground they are to be placed directly under the tree so not to damage the fine root hairs of the extended root system. 4. Tree roots that will be damaged must be cut cleanly to avoid ragged edges so they will heal properly. If exposed, they must be moistened immediately and covered with moist material. 5. No equipment, trucks or storage of supplies shall be inside the fenced area. 6. No grading shall take place around the protected tree or trees. In short, the professional should be asking these questions: 1. Are there trees that can be protected due to size, rareness or are they a healthy stand that would add to the community. 2. If trees are going to be protected how will this be done during construction and after the project is complete. 3. If trees cannot be protected why not. 4. If trees cannot be protected what is the mitigating measure going to be for loss of trees, (i.e. enhanced tree-planting program).

22 Species of Trees for Planting in Carleton Place The Urban Forest /River Corridor Advisory Committee recommends the following trees for the Carleton Place planting programs.

23 Shrubs to Plant in Carleton Place: The Urban Forest /River Corridor Advisory Committee recommends the following shrubs for the Carleton Place planting programs. Trees must be from seed and from plant hardiness zone 4b, 4a or 5a or seed zones 35 and 36. False Spira lovely creamy-white plumes of flowers, grows quickly, will grow anywhere good for holding soils on banks. Spireas- Bridal Wreath (taller 5ft, white flowers), Goldflame, not Goldmound (3 ft. pink flowers, very attractive leaves all year) Anthony Waterer (3.5 ft. dark leaves, lovely deep pink flowers) Potentillas- wide variety, 3 feet, white or yellow flowers, very hardy Purple Leaf Sandcherry- can get tall, responds to pruning, but will grow into a nice shrubby tree if not pruned, maroon leaves. Nanking Cherry- will get quite large- up to 7 ft. - but easily pruned, round growth habit, white blooms, red berries. Burning Bush 4-5 ft., red fall colour, branches break in very heavy snow. Flowering Dogwood shiny red berries through fall and early winter. Crimson autumn colour. Tree Planting Plan for Developers: The planting plan will identify where additional trees are to be planted, which species and sizes of trees to be planted and how these trees will be planted and maintained. The planting plan will identify: 1. Where trees will be planted: - The site plan must identify where trees will be planted. - At least one tree shall be planted for each residential lot developed unless a large number of trees have been removed for the development then an enhanced tree planting program will be undertaken. - Industrial and commercial development site plans shall incorporate multiple trees. - Prior to planting the developer must identify the location of underground utilities; present, planned and potential future locations. 2. Species and size of trees to be planted: - Trees will be from seed from plant hardiness zone 4b, 4a or 5a or seed zones 35 and The developer will plant a 60mm (2.5 ins) caliper deciduous tree or a conifer tree minimum height 2.0 m. - To avoid monocultures at least 4 deciduous and 1 conifer species will be selected from the list (Table 1) and approved by Town staff.

Tree planting: The International Society of Arborists, the Canadian Nursery Trades Association or Landscape Ontario standards of planting and maintenance are to be followed: - Excavate to a depth 200mm deeper than the height of the root ball, with a width 750 mm greater than the root ball. - Loosen the planting hole to a depth of 200mm - Loosen burlap and cut away minimum at least 50% of the burlap without disturbing the root ball (if in a wire basket cut away as much of the wire basket while the tree is in the hole) - Place plant material to a depth equal to the depth they were originally growing in the nursery. - Tamp soil around the root system in layers of 150 mm to eliminate air pockets. When 2/3 of the planting soil has been placed, fill the hole with water. After the water has penetrated into the soil, complete backfilling. - Build a 100mm deep saucer around the outer edge of the hole to assist with watering. - The hardwood trees will be staked following International Society of Arborist standards. - The trees will be mulched to a depth of 10 mm filling the saucer leaving 50 mm free around the trunk to avoid trunk rot. - The trees will be watered one week after planting and every 2 weeks thereafter, pending weather conditions, until the area developed is no longer the responsibility of the developer.
