The Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes (CBHCC) invites code users, the Codes community, and the public to participate in the winter 2025 public review of a proposed change to the 2020 edition of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC). The proposed change included in this public review addresses the following topic in the NBC:

Adds a maximum indoor air temperature for new dwelling units.
The purpose of this public review is to:
provide code users, the Codes community, and the public with a detailed look at proposed technical changes, and
seek comment on each proposed technical change as to whether it should be approved, altered or withdrawn.
The public review will close at11:59 pm PST on February 24, 2025, after which comments will no longer be accepted.The result of the public review process is a collection of comments on proposed code changes. The comments are sorted and analyzed by Codes Canada staff who are familiar with the development of the proposed changes, and who develop a draft resolution to each comment. The draft resolutions are validated by the responsible code development committees, which form the recommendations to the CBHCC. The recommendations could be one of the following:
approve for publication,
revise for publication,
defer publication pending further development – subject to subsequent public review, or
withdraw proposed code change.
The CBHCC decides which changes will be published in the next edition of the National Model Codes based on the recommendations of the code development committees.
