SUMMARY:Strategic & Cost-Effective Step Code Compliance for Part 9 Buildings - Kelowna
DESCRIPTION:You’ve likely attended one or more Step Code info sessions but\, as a result\, do you have a strategy in place for achieving your project Step Code targets cost effectively? You’re convinced that airtightness is a key element to success but what about windows\, wall assemblies\, and mechanical systems?
