Abstract:
There is compelling evidence demonstrating links between the built environment and health outcomes. Providing a critical regulatory foundation for the construction of residential dwellings and public buildings, building codes are an important means to enhance health. To date, key proponents of changes to the building codes in Canada have come from the housing, construction and manufacturing industries. This paper calls for the involvement of interdisciplinary and intersectoral teams to tackle improvements to national model building code standards and provincial/territorial building code legislation. Key debates surrounding changes to the codes are described from the myriad of perspectives that will be reflected in interdisciplinary and intersectoral teams. Strategies to strengthen input on the development of building codes are considered.
