Toronto is Ontario's largest and most diverse building market, spanning everything from century-old Victorian detached homes in Rosedale and the Annex to contemporary custom infill builds in Leaside and Forest Hill, mixed-use developments across Leslieville and the Junction, and commercial fit-outs throughout the downtown core. We serve all of these project types with permit-ready mechanical drawings accepted by Toronto Building.
Toronto Building is the permit authority for all building permits within the City of Toronto. Our mechanical drawing sets — stamped by a PEO-licensed engineer, including CSA F280 calculations, full duct layout, HRV design, and Schedule 1 documentation — meet Toronto Building's requirements for residential mechanical permits. For commercial projects, we comply with OBC Part 6 and ASHRAE 62.1 and 90.1 standards as applicable.
Toronto residential projects span a wider variety of housing types than most Ontario municipalities. Detached and semi-detached homes in established neighbourhoods often involve low-headroom basement mechanical rooms, existing chimneys to work around, and tight duct routing constraints. We design for these real-world constraints, not just ideal conditions. New custom infill projects in Leaside, Rosedale, and Sunnybrook Park often have complex architectural programs including large glazing areas that trigger SB-12 Performance path energy modelling — a service we provide as part of the mechanical package or standalone.
For Toronto's townhouse and stacked townhouse projects, we handle mechanical designs for both Part 9 and Part 6 buildings, including ventilation strategies for multi-unit configurations. Toronto has a significant mid-rise and small commercial sector as well — we design HVAC systems for medical offices, dental clinics, restaurants, and retail spaces throughout the city.
Toronto's design outdoor temperature for CSA F280 heat loss calculations is -18°C. The urban heat island effect is real but not used in design calculations — we design to code-required outdoor conditions regardless of microclimate.
