HVAC STANDARDS
We at Voltas have some of the strongest industry relationships with the most important associations in the related field
ASHRAE: The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers As members, we follow their prescribed systems and independent industry expertise to better our own understanding and command of knowledge in the field.
TECA: Thermal Environmental Comfort Association
Based in Surrey, this association vows to uphold and maintain the highest standards of heating and cooling infrastructure. We know how beautiful British Columbia is, and TECA helps to ensure that the air we breathe is just as beautiful, without harming the environment around us.
NFPA: National Fire Protection Association
The National Fire Protection Association is an agency with over a century of experience. When looking at life protection systems, Sprinkler Systems, or anything to do with life-threatening disasters and hazards within the built-up world, the NFPA code and advice are the last words in safety.
HEPA: High-Efficiency Particulate Air [Filter]
HEPA is the gold standard in air filtration systems. Coined in the 1950s, HEPA ensures that 99.95% of all airborne contaminants, whether living or not, vapor or not, commercial or not, get captured, collected, and cared for properly without causing further harm to any living organisms.
IEEE: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
As the IEEE’s slogan goes, “Advancing Technology for Humanity” is their goal. The “eye triple-E” is an international association dedicated to increasing the ability of the human race to prosper with the tools, technology, and innovation that we have had up until this point. Their innovation helps us utilize the highest efficiency and standards while ensuring generations of innovation yet to still come.
BCBC: British Columbia Building Code
The BC Building Code is the basis for any building or alteration done within British Columbia. This is the minimum standard for building safety and the benchmark for all work done within BC. Voltas continues to strive well beyond the minimums provided within these codes, ensuring that all the work we do satisfies not only the Building Code for years to come but also public safety to the highest degree possible.
