Many building owners and property managers are not aware that in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act of Ontario, a Certificate of Approval (CofA) is required before you install or operate HVAC equipment, cooling towers, boilers or power generators. In addition, depending on your approval, it might have to be amended BEFORE you add or replace equipment.

There are also specific air and noise compliance limits for emergency power generators.

We've designed the Commercial CofA Seminar specifically for commercial building owners and property managers. We'll lead you through the approval process so you can map out your compliance strategy. We'll answer all your questions, inform you of the cost implications, and help you decide which approval is best suited for your business.

Pinchin delivers close to a hundred seminars per year and we recognize that some people are not comfortable asking potentially sensitive questions in an open forum. We will gladly deal with these one-on-one but if you want to email the question ahead of time, we'll make sure we answer it during the seminar. Send questions to General Inquiries.
