The Model National Energy Code of Canada for Houses (MNECH) is intended to help you make energy-wise decisions during planning and construction of new houses. It allows designers and contractors to choose the degree of energy efficiency that is appropriate for specific climates and fuel types. The MNECH applies to residential buildings of three storeys or less, and additions of more than 10 m2. It refers to the RSI values that guide home building and focuses on airtightness.
