John Bleasby's latest Climate and Construction column looks at why industry experts are cautiously optimistic about the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes, a new code harmonization committee.

Climate and Construction: Industry experts cautiously optimistic about new code harmonization committeeOn Nov. 22, the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes was dissolved and replaced with a new committee called the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes . The reasons provided appear relatively straight forward.

Apparently, this was a result of two years of collaboration between provincial, territorial and federal officials under the Construction Codes Reconciliation Agreement, a Regulatory Cooperation Table agreement under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement. Code harmonization has become an issue given the inconsistent provincial application of the 2020 NBC, particularly regarding energy efficiency. In fact, the 2020 NBC itself was a disappointment to many.

Ballard has been critical in the past of the old CCBFC and the dominance of entrenched industry stakeholders.
