Integrated Testing Services
Our integrated testing services ensure that interconnected building systems work cohesively, delivering seamless functionality and compliance with the Ontario Building Code (OBC).
These services are particularly critical for large institutional, residential, and commercial buildings in Ottawa, Toronto, and surrounding areas.
Building codes and safety regulations mandate that multiple interconnected systems—such as HVAC, life safety, fire protection, and backup power—function as an integrated whole. Integrated testing ensures that these systems communicate effectively and respond properly in critical scenarios such as power failures, fire alarms, or emergency evacuations.
