EE4 Version 1.7 and Validation of New Building DesignsNatural Resources Canada (NRCan) launched the latest version of the EE4 software on February 4, 2008. Designers can use this tool to model new buildings and determine energy performance relative to the Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB). If the simulated energy performance exceeds the MNECB by at least 25 percent, you can submit it to NRCan for validation of new building designs as of January 1, 2008. You can also access modelling assistance and information on EE4 training at this Web site. To download the free software, visit the EE4 Software Web site.
