Phillips, B., (2002), "Compliance of ventilation systems installed to meet proposed changes to the 1995 NBCC", Technical Series 02-118.
Abstract:
A 1999 study found that few, if any, new residential ventilation systems were in full compliance with Section 9.32 "Ventilation" in the 1995 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). Of particular concern was the finding that most new houses would not comply with the gas code CAN/CSA B149 depressurization limit for B-vented gas appliances even though they complied with NBCC Sub-section 9.32.3.8."Protection Against Depressurization". Application of NBCC 9.32 permits depressurization at levels not permitted for B-vented gas appliances under the gas code.
