Description

The next editions of the National Building, Fire, Plumbing and Energy Codes will include almost 450 technical changes to adapt to a rapidly evolving building industry. Over the last code cycle, Codes Canada has been working closely with the provinces and territories as well as industry partners to update all four national model codes. Updated codes provide effective building and safety regulations, harmonized across Canada. This presentation will highlight some of the most significant technical changes that are being incorporated in the upcoming editions of the Codes, which are expected to be published in December 2021. Changes relate to encapsulated mass timber constructions, safety-glazing, large farm buildings, accessibility, earthquake design, water-miscible liquids, water-use efficiency, air leakage, and the introduction of tiered performance requirements and alignment with EnerGuide System in the National Energy Code for Buildings. Join the presenters for this highly informative update and prepare yourself for upcoming Code changes.
