Evaluating travel distance provisions in the National Building Code of Canada : history, assumptions, current practices, and recommendations for future directions / written by Jennifer Rodger.NR24-136/2025E-PDF

"Commissioned under the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), this report reviews how the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) 2020 Part 3 travel distance provisions (Sentence 3.4.2.5.(1), maximum allowable distance to an exit in an emergency and related egress rules) are currently applied, what assumptions underlie them, and where clarifications would improve consistent use. The report does not evaluate enforcement or maintenance practices, expand definitions, or propose code text; priority is to clarify existing provisions and identify research needs to help inform potential future technical work by the relevant committees"--Executive summary, page 6.
