The items listed below are mandatory requirements of your submission package. Items must be presented in a binder with numbered tabsand, the location column must indicate the location of each item within the submission. Please refer to the Instructions portion of thischecklist for details about each item. In an attempt to GREEN the submission process, you have the option to submit some items inelectronic format. Please indicate in the format column if the information is provided electronically or in paper format.

Are you aware that NRCan offers technical support valued up to $1,000? Yes No

Complete and sign the MNECB Mandatory Checklist form. It can be found on our web site under "Validation".You must demonstrate compliance with the relevant MNECB mandatory criteria. If this information cannot befound in the specifications or drawings please provide the information in this section.

Include copy of building permit if available at the time of the submission. If not available, provide anexplanation. The building permit must be dated between January 1st, 2006 and March 31st , 2011.

INSTRUCTIONS1 Submission Checklist

(Paper copy)This checklist serves as a table of content for your submission. Complete the Submission Checklist, indicatingin the appropriate column, the location of each item within the submission (page number, section number orappendix number). For items not found in the binder, provide a drawing number, Tender Document sectionnumber, or appropriate location description.

2 Submission Overview Its purpose is to provide the reviewer with a summary of how the building was modeled. It must contain:- Introduction to building: location, climate zone, energy features, special systems;- Overview of the organization of the building systems, including, for example, number and types of air

handlers, exhaust fans and thermal control systems; and- Relevant appropriate supporting documentation from NRCan concerning exemptions, technical support

advice and any relevant communications with your Account Manager.

4 MNECB MandatoryRequirement Checklist(Paper copy)

5 Compliance Report(Paper copy)

Provide the Summary Compliance Report which is automatically generated by the simulation software. Insome EE4 cases (see Modelling Guide) two reports may be required. Provide signature and seal as noted onthe form.

6 Explanation of Errors andWarnings

Provide written explanations of the errors and warnings generated by the Summary Compliance Report thatare not documented elsewhere in the submission package. Please refer to the error number or the key-word,cited in the report, in your explanation(Electronic copy)

7 Outdoor Air CalculationSpreadsheet (EE4 only) Complete and print a copy of the OAC Spreadsheet form found on our website under "Validation ". This will

be used to verify that the fresh air rate of your building design is within the 20% of the MNECB fresh air rate,as per the EE4 Modeling Guide.(Electronic copy)

8 Relevant Calculations If applicable, include any calculations supporting derived inputs in simulation software, for example: heatrecovery effectiveness, wall areas, floor areas, and window areas.(Electronic copy)

9 Calculations for RenewableEnergies (if applicable)

Provide two documents. The first document should be a RETScreen analysis and/or other supportingdocuments, which provide the amount of energy produced by the renewable energy. The seconddocument should be a set of calculations showing how the renewable energy produced has impacted thetotal energy consumption and cost savings.

(Electronic copy)

10 Mechanical Zoning Diagram Provide small clear zoning drawing(s), electronically or in the submission binder. Highlight the zones in colouron the engineering drawings/plans. For EE4 files, refer to the section "Building Zoning Principles" in the EE4Modeling Guide.

(Electronic or paper copy)

11 Electronic Simulation Files Save final EE4 file on CD. Note that under certain circumstances (e.g. 20% outdoor air rule), a secondsimulation is required. To ensure the version of the software you are using is the most up to date, go to theEE4 website at www.EE4.com. For EE Wizard applications, include a copy of the email providing theconfirmation that the EE wizard file has been sent to NRCan.

12 Stamped Drawings (A/M/E/R) Include a complete set of the most recent and to scale construction drawings/plans relating to Architecture,Mechanical and Electrical design. When simulating an Arena, provide refrigeration drawings, whichdemonstrate how energy is transferred from the refrigeration system to the building. Provide seal andsignature on the drawings/plans.

"for construction"(Electronic copy)

13 Supporting information is needed for all building systems. Manufacturer's specifications/cut sheets arerequired for all equipment/system that cannot be properly modeled from the information found in the tenderspecifications or drawings.

For arenas, provide a table showing for each class, all displays with light, fan, and anti-sweat linear powerdensities. This data must be compliant with the listed models from the manufacturer.

14 Energy Prices Identify and submit paper copies of: current posted Website rates, actual energy bills, or agreements ofenergy prices (as of submission date) used in the submission (e.g. electricity, natural gas, fuel oil,renewables, etc.).
