Part 3 Building Compliance

Building compliance is an essential aspect of constructing a structure in Canada. The construction industry in Canada has various laws and standards to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. Building compliance includes adhering to national, provincial, and municipal building codes, zoning regulations, and fire safety codes, among other requirements.

In addition to ensuring safety, building compliance also helps to mitigate legal risks for builders, architects, and construction companies. Non-compliance with building codes can result in lawsuits, property damage, and injury or loss of life, which can be detrimental to the reputation and financial stability of a business.

Furthermore, building compliance also plays a significant role in sustainability efforts. In Canada, there is a growing emphasis on constructing buildings that are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Compliance with green building standards such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) ensures that structures are designed to minimize their impact on the environment.


Overall, building compliance is critical in ensuring the safety and sustainability of constructed structures in Canada. It is essential to work with experienced professionals such as architects, engineers, and contractors who understand the requirements and can ensure compliance throughout the construction process.

What air tightness standard is used for Part 3 air leakage testing?

What air tightness standard is used for Part 3 air leakage testing? 

ASTM E779 : Standard test method for determining air leakage rate by fan pressurization.

What pressure does a part 3 building test to?

What pressure does a part 3 building test to? 

The pascal can be expressed using SI derived units, or alternatively solely SI base units, as:

{\displaystyle {\rm {1~Pa=1~{\frac {N}{m^{2}}}=1~{\frac {kg}{m{\cdot }s^{2}}}=1~{\frac {J}{m^{3}}}}}}


Where N is the newton, m is the metre, kg is the kilogram, s is the second, and J is the joule.[9]

One pascal is the pressure exerted by a force of magnitude one newton perpendicularly upon an area of one square metre.
