Adopted in the BC Building Code 2024 are new Part 9 bracing requirements for wood frame construction, coming into effect on March 10, 2025. The redesign of Section 9.23. is substantially changed to accommodate modern housing design and higher seismicity, mainly Subsection 9.23.13. Bracing to Resist Lateral Loads Due to Wind and Earthquake. The increased seismicity warranted a redesign of the methods for resisting lateral loads and new solutions so that designers can continue to design within Part 9.

What defines a low-load home? Why do old air design principles fall short of meeting comfort expectations? What design and technology options are available for such homes?

Learning Objectives:

Windows: The Biggest Envelope Opportunity (with analysis to back it !)
New designs with more glass, more glazing options, energy and carbon targets and occupant satisfaction make window selection a big challenge but also a very large opportunity!
