Editorial Approach
Articles on this site draw from publicly available regulatory documents including the National Building Code of Canada, CSA B365, CSA B415.1, provincial building codes, and technical publications from Natural Resources Canada and WETT Inc. Where code requirements have provincial variations, those are noted within the article text.
The content does not constitute professional engineering advice, legal advice, or an official code interpretation. Readers working on an active installation should consult the local authority having jurisdiction and a licensed WETT-certified technician for project-specific guidance.
Content Updates
Each article displays the date it was last reviewed. Building codes in Canada are updated on irregular cycles — NBC editions typically appear every 5 years, with provincial adoption following on varying timelines. When code changes relevant to published content are identified, articles are revised and the update date is changed accordingly.
Corrections and updates to existing content can be submitted by email to info@warmhollow.org. Corrections from qualified professionals identifying specific inaccuracies are reviewed and incorporated where substantiated.
