[Bldg-sim] 90.1 Section 5.6 envelope trade off

[Chris Jones]

I have been using ENVSTD for years.  The problem 
is that the Ontario Building Code has revised the 
envelope prescriptive requirements to hybrid 
values that are not matched by the current and 
past versions of ENVSTD.  Ideally one would get 
the source code and modify the lookup tables then 
recompile but I am not having any luck with that concept.

I have heard that the the ENVSTD developers are 
working on a version for Ontario but who knows 
how long that might take.  In the meantime, the 
cost of building permits goes up on July 12 so 
lots of developers are scrambling to get permits before then.
