Significance of the Construction Products Regulation, including for data centers

June 14, 2017

The aim of the Construction Products Regulation is to protect people in buildings against the consequences of a fire. The growth of digitalization means that the density of cables in buildings is constantly increasing. In general, the quantity of flammable materials in modern buildings is increasing. As a result, the average time from the start of the fire through to the ignition of flue gases (pyrolysis gases) has reduced from approximately 15 minutes in 1950 to only some 3 minutes in 2010. This means that the time available to escape from a building has been dramatically reduced. Consequently, it is necessary to ask how it is possible to prevent the increasing quantities of cables having an excessively negative impact in the event of fire and what risks lie dormant in any existing old cabling?

Increasing Housing Supply and Attainability

whitePaper | December 5, 2019

The goal of the task force’s work was to identify challenges to housing supply, and thus attainability for individuals and families across the income spectrum. Improving the process for approval of development projects, and the citizen participation element of the process, are two critical elements addressed by this report. The sustainability of the region’s economic health relies on an adequate supply of housing that workers can afford. Without a range of housing types, sizes, and price points, the region is unlikely to continue to attract and retain the employment base necessary to support continued economic growth.i A healthy, attainable housing market has been found to bring other benefits as well, including improved government finances, increased expenditures at local businesses, and lower infrastructure and service delivery costs.
