Approving innovative products in Ontario
Everyone acknowledges that we want to build homes faster and more affordably, but how do we do that? One of the best ways is with innovative building products. Hundreds of innovative building products enter the market every year, from space-age materials, to composite systems, to pre-fabricated panels, and more. But how do you know which products are code-compliant? The building
code’s prescriptive/acceptable solutions lag far behind innovation. In this session David will take you
behind the curtain of conformity assessment, into the world of innovative products, and show you how
the conformity assessment for code compliance blends expertise is materials and building science,
product testing and manufacturing, and more so you can feel confident approving innovative building
products in Ontario.
