When managing fire-barrier integrity, the high water mark for compliance is generally the point of initial occupancy, and things gradually deteriorate from there.  Why is this and how do we overcome it?

Information

The Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) would like to invite your organization and its members—as stakeholders in the development of the National Model Construction Codes—to take part in the winter 2012 public review of proposed changes to incorporate energy efficiency for housing and small buildings into Part 9 of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) 2010. If approved by the CCBFC, these technical changes will be published as revisions to the 2010 NBC near the end of 2012.
