Hello,

In the statement below from the Canadian ACP - NECB, does the Bolded sentence mean that projects do not have to adhere to those specified sections of ASRHAE 90.1-2010?

1. Comply with mandatory requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2010
ASHRAE 90.1-2010 mandatory requirements must be met, in addition to the performance path
limitations referenced in the NECB 2011 Sections 3.4.1.2, 5.4.1.2 and 6.4.1.2. In cases where ASHRAE
and the NECBC reference requirements concerning the same item, the more stringent requirement
shall be adhered to.

The following exceptions apply:
ASHRAE 90.1-2010 mandatory items 6.4.3.9, 9.4.1.2b, 9.4.1.4, 9.4.1.5, 9.4.3

Thank you.
