Ottawa, ON — The Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) is seeking new volunteers to serve on code development committees for the 2030 code cycle of the National Model Codes.
Applications will be accepted until May 6, and the volunteer committees are expected to begin work on code development in January 2025.
The National Model Codes consist of the National Building Code of Canada, the National Fire Code of Canada, the National Plumbing Code of Canada, the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings, and the National Farm Building Code of Canada.
Code development for the 2030 codes will focus on the following strategic priorities: accessibility of buildings and dwellings, alterations to existing buildings, climate change mitigation, climate change adaption, housing supply, performance-based solutions, and targeted topics and maintenance tasks.
The CBHCC is seeking volunteers who reflect Canada’s regional and ethnic diversity, have a broad knowledge of the codes, and have technical expertise and lived experience in areas related to building design, construction, and use.
Additionally, the CBHCC is looking for volunteers from the regulatory community, industry, manufacturers, material production and supply, standard development organizations, researchers, academia and others with an interest in code development.
Interested participants can submit their applications on the CBHCC website.
