This week, we talk to Steven Forrester, a building code consultant from New Brunswick. We delve into the terminology of performance-based design and how it can affect your inspections as a tech and what to look for in a building that may have some type of design modification from the building codes.

This episode is on the very important subject of Battery Testing and the safety considerations when testing the batteries for our fire alarm systems. We also go over some of the code changes that may have already hit Western Canada, but are due to hit Ontario in January 2025.

There is a related article battery testing safety that Aaron Lee from Atkins Realis in Ontario contributed in this edition of the CFAA Journal. It is a great read and adds to the discussion that Brett and I had. Please look to this link and go to the June 2024 edition. https://www.cfaa.ca/journals
