Abstract	The User's Guide – National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2020 is designed to complement the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) 2020 by providing background information as well as detailed examples and calculations. This edition of the User's Guide has been updated to • introduce energy performance tiers, which provide a flexible compliance framework for achieving higher levels of energy efficiency in buildings, • include additional examples of determining the thermal characteristics of building envelope assemblies, • provide guidance on whole building airtightness testing, • describe the six different compliant HVAC systems, and • explain compliance using whole-building energy modeling. The User's Guide serves as a reference tool for those involved in building design, construction, or regulation. It explains the NECB's provisions and includes examples to assist users in understanding energy-efficient design. The guide can also be used as a resource for educators and trainers when instructing students and professionals.
