Call for Volunteers for the Canadian Codes Centre

To all ASHRAE members,

The Canadian Codes Centre is always looking for interested parties to assist in the development in the Canadian federal model building codes.

NRC is seeking volunteers to serve on the Standing Committees of the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes (CCBFC), as the term for current members expires August 31, 2014.

If you are interested in becoming a member and participating in important national code development work, please send an expression of interest to the Secretary of the CCBFC using the online form below by February 28, 2014. Please indicate which Standing Committee(s) you are interested in joining, include a 120-word summary of your relevant experience and attach/append your resume.

CCBFC Standing Committee members are expected to be broadly knowledgeable on Code-related matters and able to exercise objective judgments. They are selected for their individual expertise and experience with the Codes – not as delegates from a particular interest group. Representation from industry, regulatory and general interest sectors is balanced by geographic region.

Specifically related to our ASHRAE members areas of expertise are the Standing Committee on Energy Efficiency in Buildings, and, the Standing Committee on Building and Plumbing Services.
