Hi all,
The BC code is up for public review.
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/construction-industry/building-codes-standards/bc-codes/public-review
Important changes include:
Metrics for air tightness. Allows for different measurements. ACH, normalized leakage rate, normalized leakage areas. This should allow for apples to apples comparison in terms of envelope coverage and floor areas.
GHG calculation. As previously discussed, using the CoV guidance for buildings only.
Thermal characteristics and efficiencies are updated.
Always appreciate the comments here. Official feedback up until Nov 4th.
Best,
Colin
