Training Courses

What you will learn

Participants will use simple worksheets in conjunction with detailed design procedures to quickly select equipment, size ducts and specify installation and control details necessary to design ventilation systems. All content complies with Section 9.32 of the Building Code. Participants will also clearly understand when the circumstances fall outside the scope of 9.32, which will require the use of a more comprehensive standard such as CAN/CSA F326-M1991 (R2014).

Note: Section 9.32 of the new Ontario Building Code, which comes into effect on January 1, 2025, has been significantly harmonized with the 9.32 Section of the National Building Code. All learners should register for HRAI Residential Ventilation using Section 9.32 course. Ontario-based learners will have access to an additional, short module that details the minor differences that still exist between the Ontario Building Code and the National Building Code.
