Please see our recently posted Information Bulletin number 2014-014-A/B/E/M/P/S regarding the adoption and administration of the Manitoba Energy Code for Buildings (MECB) which is being adopted by the Province of Manitoba on December 1, 2014. This bulletin supersedes the previous Bulletin 2014-009-A/B/E/M/P/S of the same title. It provides additional information for professionals and building owners and provides weblinks to key documents and certificates.
The bulletin is also available via our Electrical Info Centre under the Industry Notices bubble at the website below. All new and revised electrical-related documents for the application and administration of the MECB will also be posted to Info Centre on or before December 1st.
