Building Smart #17 Seminar
The HPO’s spring 2013 Building Smart #17 – Transitioning to the New BC Building Code seminar will be held in 21 communities across B.C. from April 8 – May 30. This seminar builds on last year’s Building Smart #16 which summarized the anticipated new Part 9 Code changes. It explores the impact of the North American Fenestration Standard/Specification (NAFS) for windows, doors and skylights and the new requirements for spatial separation.
