We are pleased to have Todd Backus, Manager of Programs Development at TECA offer the following webinars:
9.32 – Ventilation Requirements
This presentation will cover the BCBC requirements for ventilation in dwellings in section 9.32. The four ventilation system designs that are allowed in BC and their corresponding ventilation checklists will be reviewed, particular attention will be placed on forced air distribution systems that circulate outdoor air and the installation of HRVs. NAFFVA equipment and the risks of depressurization will be discussed as this is significant health and safety concern that is frequently misunderstood. Good ventilation is a critical component of modern dwellings and section 9.32 of the BCBC has robust language to ensure that proper ventilation systems are installed on every project.
