Thank you very much Francesco. You are explaining well and I have started learning OBC using your videos. I am new in Canada and I want to know about OBC as much as I can.
@@Mandala40 You are very welcome. If it can help, I am starting a new series about the new 2024 OBC. You can find it here, updated every week or so ua-cam.com/play/PLK5YrhWb8s_8iO14tK8gsiqItVL90aKUE.html&si=shmmr8_2L1o9ZbOv
Hi Francesco, Your videos are very insightful and very helpful when navigating the building code. I would appreciate some clarity when building a triplex or fourplex as this type of built form is gaining a lot of traction in our cities and hopefully this subject of interest would be covered in one of your next videos. Would a triplex or fourplex be governed by part 3 or part 9 or a combination of both since a house can meet the requirements of part 9 with respect to height(3 stories), bld area(less than 600m2) and group c (residential)major occupancy? What will be the type of construction be and how to determine under which section of the OBC--combustible or non combustible? Under Part9 Div B Table 9.10.14.5 non-combustible construction is required with 10% or less unprotected openings of exposed building face and would table 9.10.14.4 apply vs table 9.10.15.4. Under Part 3 Div B Table 3.2.2.47 Group C 3 storey Residential is permitted to be of combustible construction which contains dwelling units. Under part 9 the definition of house was revised to include an individual dwelling unit in the house in other words 2 in total. Since the number of units will exceed 2 would that make it a small building under part 3? Thank you in advance
@@danielvincani2491 Hi Daniel, terrific comment. I think this would make a great video. The short answer: can use Part 9 as long as 3 storeys or less AND the vertical fire separations separating adjoining townhouses divide the townhouses into areas less than 600 m2. Also, always check with local authority having jurisdiction, their rules may differ and/or be more stringent
Ho Jai. I recommend the self study manual here ( coursepacks.sohobusinessolutions.ca/product/fire-protection-2012-2/ ) or here ( v0.oboa.on.ca/cgi-bin/orders/?op=category&c=Training%20Manuals ). Good luck!💪
Thank you so much
Part 9, Building height less than 3 storeys including below grade?
I must say that this is the truly great way of discussing the heaviest building code for Ontario.❤
I like your humor with the subtle whisper of subject 😄
