Wednesday, November 26 Energy Provisions BCBC 9.36 The Province’s recent adoption of the 2012 National Model Building Code amendments for energy efficiency in housing and small th
buildings will become effective on December 19 , 2014. The intent of this seminar is to provide an educational opportunity to BOABC members, as well as other interested stakeholders, regarding the upcoming changes to the British Columbia Building Code. Part 9 Plan Review For Energy Compliance. The BOABC energy consultant has developed two Part 9 Residential plans that will be reviewed to determine compliance with the prescriptive path detailed in the new BCBC 9.36. th

The plan review session will be scheduled for Wednesday, November 26 , 2014, Thursday, November 27 , 2014 and th
Friday, November 28 , 2014. Each of the five sessions is restricted to a maximum of 30 participants. Ventilation 9.32 BC intends to implement new ventilation requirements in conjunction with the new energy efficiency requirements in December 2014. While most commonly associated with energy performance, ventilation is more significantly a health and safety Issue. Inadequate ventilation in energy efficient housing creates an environment for mold, high concentrations of CO2, and other indoor air pollutants, which are linked to health problems. Minimum Heating Standards Minimum standards required to conform to 9.36 th
Thursday, November 27 Asbestos In The Building Trades – Hidden Hazards The wide variety of asbestos containing materials in construction will be explored; it’s history, it’s health effects, legal requirements, mitigation, and responsibilities. Elevator Guidelines This is a presentation by APEGBC on the new elevator guidelines. The guideline was created to ensure compliance. Wall Thermal Calculator This session is a demonstration of the CWC’s Wall Thermal Calculator. The Calculator is a user-­‐friendly program, designed to assist in determining code compliance with the new energy requirement of the BCBC. Rapid Damage Assessment Course This is a professional level course, designed for persons with an understanding of how buildings are put together, typically with a technical and/or construction background; suited to those who are actively involved in property or facilities management, building inspection, fire prevention or engineering roles. Individuals are shown the basic skills required to identify unsafe conditions and how to assess damage to determine whether buildings can be re-­‐occupied. The rapid inspection skills are taught using the Applied Technology Council Guidelines (ATC 20 & 45) from California. Session is restricted to a maximum of 30 participants. Coordination of Damage Assessment Course These sessions are designed for persons who develop, coordinate or manage the Damage Assessment Program for their organization, and provide the tools required to establish and operate a damage assessment program, including information on: • Prioritizing critical infrastructure and pre-­‐disaster planning; • Identifying, developing and maintaining damage assessment equipment kits; • Damage assessment team allocation and pre-­‐deployment considerations; • Documentation processes and recording practices; • Linkages between damage assessment and stakeholders such as ESS, DFA, BC Safety Authority, Lifeline Infrastructure providers, and Recovery Managers. Session is restricted to a maximum of 30 participants. All Things Energy The province, in partnership with BC Hydro has undertaken a temporary project by creating a position of Compliance Advisor for energy requirements. The Compliance Advisor will be available to help you understand the new Part 3 and Part 9 energy code changes and technical requirements. NAFS Window Standards and Compliance This session is a review of current NAFS requirements Thermal Bridging and Energy Standards This session is designed to assist with understanding thermal bridging and energy standards, to ensure compliance with the new 9.36 energy requirement. th
Friday, November 28 Code Concepts and the Application of the Concepts (study session format) The topics to be covered are, major, minor, subsidiary, superimposed occupancies, exit and means of egress. Session is restricted to a maximum of 40 participants.

When Registered Professionals are Required by Law Understanding when LOA’s are required by law. The use and misuse of LOA’s, and the so called comfort letter will be discussed. Energy Modeling There are several methods in BCBC 9.36 that can be used to comply with the new energy requirements. They are the prescriptive or trade-­‐off requirements, the performance requirements (Energy Modeling) or the NEBC. Energy Auditing A home energy audit is a service where the energy efficiency of a house is evaluated by a person using professional equipment, such as blower doors and infrared cameras, with the aim to suggest the best ways to improve energy efficiency in heating and cooling the house. Legal and Ethics The objectives of this all-­‐day session is to allow you to: • identify the different acts and regulations that relate to the job function; • understand how these acts and regulations control our activities; • deal with the issues that are controlled by these acts and regulations; • understand how roles and responsibilities are created; • identify how we create a duty of care; • work within our Code of Ethics; • understand how the legal profession views our role.
