The National Research Council is offering free access to the electronic and downloadable editions of National and Alberta Code documents they publish through their virtual store. The printed versions of these codes are available for purchase at a reduced price ($100 or less). The Government is proposing to provide $67.5 million over five years to the National Research Council of Canada, with $13.5 million ongoing, to make access to the National Building Codes free, and to provide sufficient resources for the federal government to address provincial, territorial, and other stakeholder code development priorities in a.

The National Building Code of Canada is the model building code of Canada. It is issued by National Research Council Canada.^[1] As a model code, it has no legal status until it is adopted by a jurisdiction that regulates construction.

History[edit]

The Constitution of Canada includes the regulation of building construction as a provincial responsibility. In a few cases, municipalities have been given the historic right of writing their own building code. In the early years of regulating building construction, this caused a patchwork of building codes across Canada.

In 1941, the federal government of Canada published the first National Building Code. This was adopted by the various provinces and municipalities in Canada during the next 20 years.

On 1 August 1947, the Division of Building Research, later named the Institute for Research in Construction (NRC-IRC) and today known as NRC Construction Research Centre, was established to provide a research service to the construction industry and to help ensure affordable and safe housing for a growing population of Canadians. Its founding head was Robert Legget. The new organization was also given the mandate to lead the development of the National Building Code of Canada. Since then, NRC's Construction Research Centre has grown to encompass emergent areas of research in support of the Canadian construction sector.^[2] Early photographs of activities are available in the archives.^[3]

The Northern Research Program was housed at the Division of Building Research over the period from 1950 to 1986,^[4] and information gleaned from the Building Materials Section in York Redoubt made its way into the Code.^[5]

Since 1960, there has been a revised document about every five years up to 1995. The 2000 edition of the building code was supposed to be an objective or performance-based building. However, this took considerably longer to write than foreseen and the next edition of the National Building Code of Canada was not published until 2005. The 2010 National Model Construction Codes was published on 29 November 2010.^[6] and the National Building Code of Canada 2010 incorporates energy efficiency requirements.^[7]

The first National Farm Building Code of Canada (NFBC) was first published in 1960. The Model National Energy Codes for Buildings and Houses were first published in 1997.^[8]

The Historical National Construction Codes on-line in PDF format is a single collection provided by the NRC of the English and French editions of all Code documents published between 1941 and 1998.^[8]

On behalf of the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC) the National Research Council (NRC) Canadian Codes Center publishes national model codes documents that set out minimum requirements relating to their scope and objectives.^[9] These include the National Building Code, the National Fire Code, the National Plumbing Code, the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) and other documents. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) publishes other model codes that address electrical, gas and elevator systems.

Requirements on the specification of structural wood products and wood building systems is set forth in the National Building Code which is concerned with health, safety, accessibility and the protection of buildings from fire or structural damage. The Code applies mainly to new construction, but also aspects of demolition, relocation, renovation and change of building use. The current NBCC was published in 2015, and is usually updated on a five-year cycle. The next update is expected in 2020.^[10]

Implementation[edit]

The National Building Code is the model building code that forms the basis for all of the provincial building codes. Some jurisdictions create their own code based on the National Building Code, other jurisdictions have adopted the National Building often with supplementary laws or regulations to the requirements in the National Building Code.

Alberta[edit]

By agreement with the National Research Council of Canada,^[11]Alberta is committed to using the National Building Code of Canada as its base document with changes and modifications to suit Alberta needs in regulating the design, construction, alteration, change of use and demolition of buildings.

The Alberta Building Code 2006 was established by the Building Technical Council, atechnical council of the Safety Codes Council,^[12] after consultation with municipal authorities, provincial government departments, associations, other affected parties and Code users. The Code is published for Alberta by the National Research Council of Canada.

The Alberta Building Code 2006^[13] was adopted by provincial regulation on 2 September 2007.^[14]

The Alberta Building Code 2006 is developed and administered by Alberta Municipal and Public Affairs.^[15] In addition to the production of the Alberta Building Code, Municipal Affairs is responsible for the development and dissemination of code interpretations and alternatives known as STANDATA^[16] which come in three forms:

Building Code Variances - acceptable alternative solutions to the prescriptive requirements (known as Alternative Solutions) in Division B.
Building Code Interpretations - interpretations on Code items
Building Code Bulletins - additional explanatory information on Code items or general Code topics

British Columbia[edit]

The British Columbia Building Code^[17] is based on the core concepts of the National Building Code with some variations specific to the province. The Code applies throughout British Columbia, except for some Federal lands and the City of Vancouver.^[18] The Code is published by Crown Publications.

Vancouver[edit]

Under the Vancouver Building Bylaw, Vancouver has developed its own building code based on the National Building Code.

Ontario[edit]

The Ontario Building Code^[19] is administered by the Building and Development Branch of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.^[20]

Prior to the enactment of the first Ontario Building Code Act in 1974, individual municipalities were responsible for developing their own building codes, resulting in a fragmented and potentially confusing regulatory environment. The introduction of a provincial Building Code Act and a provincial Building Code addressed this problem by providing for uniform construction standards across Ontario.^[21]

As of Jan. 1, 2012 the benchmark requirements for energy efficiency regarding houses and large buildings was enhanced.^[22] Updated compliance paths for energy efficiency requirements in large buildings are set out in Supplementary
