| Application | Application 1:
Application 2: This also applies to the repair of closures,
as stated in Sentence 2.2.2.2.(1). Note: The National
Building Code of Canada is most often applied to existing buildings when
an owner wishes to rehabilitate a building, change
its use, or build an addition; or when an enforcement authority decrees that
a building, or a class of buildings,
be altered for reasons of public safety. It is not intended that either the
NBC or the NFC be used to enforce the retrospective application of new requirements
in the NBC to existing buildings. [See Appendix Note A-2.1.3.1.(1).]
