I guess people are not fully understanding this... It is required...but if I show you the calculations, my bet is you would have a hard time understanding it, unless you are familar with this code and software. And I am assuming this because you don't even know what this code is and that it...

Dear Casaguy, You are very right. I did think long and hard before posting this info just on that fact alone. The clients/engineers I work with follow this code, it is our job to ensure we design to code and protect the developer from things like this. But it seems some are doing...

Yes it's a code we follow here in Ontario...just like N.F.P.A. another US organization, that we must follow. We follow these codes like many others. If you look you can find the program on the web site or purchase it. I did when it first came out. In fact took a little seminar presented...

Sure hope this building hook's up to the Central lake water cooling system in downtown Toronto...cause they will need it...I don't think this building will pass the ASHRAE 90.1 calc's what is Code. You figure a developer from the US will know that all high-rise building must follow this code...
