The entire discussion was on the public review comments on Emission Factors for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG).  In the beginning, the TG dealt with on-site renewables and confirmed its overall Possible Committee Action recommendation to SC-EE in this regard as:  

"In reviewing these comments, the Standing Committee should note that for the 2025 editions of the National Model Codes, the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) adopted the policy direction set out in the Policy Positions on Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Provisions in the National Model Codes which notes that carbon offsets and credits are not being considered within the scope of the Codes. The Standing Committee should also note that SC-EE requested guidance from the CBHCC for on-site renewable energy sources and that CBHCC discussed SC-EE’s memo dated October 17, 2023, at its meeting on October 18, 2023. SC-EE was directed to continue to focus its efforts in the 2025 Codes on reducing the energy demand and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of houses and buildings through improved energy efficiency and operational GHG emissions performance requirements. This will enable the Provinces and Territories (P/Ts) to prepare for, and transition to, their desired performance targets and to implement on-site renewable energy incentive programs to meet their specific objectives should they desire to do so. The CBHCC intends to discuss on-site renewable energy in future policy discussions next code cycle. P/Ts are the first source of data for GHG emission factors and have the discretion to directly include on-site renewables in their jurisdiction. If the Standing Committee agrees, no action need be taken on this comment."   

The TG also discussed the impact analysis of the Proposed Change Form (PCF), which did not state the benefit of any of the GHG Levels A to F and did not use operational costs as benefits.
