Description:

The National Building Code of Canada (NBC) is the "bible" of the construction industry, designed to ensure that buildings are structurally sound, safe from fire, free of health hazards, and accessible. The NBC addresses the design and construction of new buildings and the substantial renovation of existing buildings.

Prepared by the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC), the NBC sets out technical provisions for the design and construction of new buildings. It also applies to the alteration, change of use and demolition of existing buildings.

Significant technical changes to the 2010 National Building Code concern:

Protection Against Falls from Residential Occupancy Windows
Live Load Due to Use and Occupancy
Wind Loads
Earthquake Design
Structural Loads
Ventilation
Secondary Suites in Houses
Lateral Loads
Low Permeance Materials in the Building Envelope

Index

Division A includes compliance options and information on objectives and functional statements. Objectives describe the overall goals that a particular Code's provisions are intended to achieve. Functional statements describe the functions that a building or its components must perform to fulfill the objectives. At least one objective and one functional statement are linked to each technical requirement to help users better understand the reason why a particular requirement must be met and to help them evaluate alternative solutions.

In Division B, Code users can find the "acceptable solutions," which consist of the Code provisions updated with technical changes.

Finally, Division C contains administrative provisions, which have all been consolidated into this one place.

The National Building Code of Canada is available in two practical formats:

A two-volume binder version that lies flat for easy reference easily accommodates updates.
A two-volume soft-cover version that contains the same information as the binder, at about half the weight. This format is ideal for the job site.

Note: The two volumes must be purchased as a set; volumes are not available to be purchased individually.
