BUILDING CODE: Building Size & Construction Relative to Occupancy

Get a solid foundation in one of the most important starting points of any code analysis—occupancy and building size. This session walks through how Subsection 3.2.2. of the 2020 National Building Code of Canada applies to buildings regulated under Part 3, giving you practical knowledge you can put to use right away.

You’ll see how the NBC handles single and multiple occupancies, when the 10% rule applies, and where fire separations fit into the picture. With real-world examples and workshop problems, you’ll leave confident in applying the Code to your own projects.
