What specific aspect does Appendix B of the Building Code Compendium cover?

Appendix B of the Building Code Compendium specifically addresses imperial conversion, which is essential for bridging the gap between metric measurements and imperial units commonly used in construction and building design. This appendix serves as a reference for professionals in the building industry who must ensure accurate conversions to maintain compliance with the Ontario Building Code. This is particularly important as many contractors, architects, and engineers may be accustomed to different measurement systems, and providing clarity in conversions aids in upholding safety and consistency across building projects. The focus on imperial conversion allows for a standardized approach to interpreting building specifications, ensuring that all parties involved are working from the same measurements, minimizing the risk of error in construction practices.
