As the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) and other energy codes move toward net zero energy buildings, the BCLTBIA has recognized the need for updated results to assist log homes in meeting these energy performance targets. Within Canada, BC is leading the with the BC Energy Step Code implementation so the need within our province is extremely important.
Over the past couple of years, the BCLTBIA has conducted ASTM C1363 – Guarded Hot Box testing with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) in Ottawa on five log wall assemblies. C1363 measures a real assembly insulation value based on our Canadian northern freezing temperatures. Our results on Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir log walls are extremely positive and show log walls can be built to exceed insulation targets.
