The TECA ventilation checklist is the permit-stage ventilation form many BC building departments require. I can complete it when the builder needs it from me.

The checklist is often needed before a mechanical contractor is selected. If the HVAC contractor is already completing it, I do not duplicate the work.

I also design HRV and ERV systems. After installation, I measure and balance the airflow against the design. This is a separate service.

Inputs

Send the permit-stage ventilation information.

  • Drawing set and intended ventilation approach
  • Mechanical notes and equipment information if selected
  • Whether an HVAC contractor is already completing the checklist
  • Building-department forms, comments, and target permit date
Deliverables

Get the permit checklist without duplicating HVAC scope.

  • Completed TECA ventilation checklist when that service is quoted
  • Ventilation inputs based on the current drawings and mechanical information
  • HRV/ERV design, plus a measured and balanced airflow result after installation
Timing

Confirm the checklist during permit preparation.

  • Start once the ventilation approach can be reviewed
  • Resolve responsibility before the permit package is submitted
  • Book HRV/ERV commissioning after the system is installed and powered
Separate services

HRV/ERV design and commissioning is separate from the checklist.

  • TECA checklist support is available when the builder needs it
  • HRV/ERV design and commissioning is its own service, available on any project that needs it
Builder questions

What builders ask before booking.

Is a TECA checklist the same as HRV or ERV design?

No. The checklist documents the planned ventilation approach for the permit file. I also design and commission HRV and ERV systems, which is separate work.

When should I ask for checklist support?

Ask during permit preparation, once the ventilation approach and available mechanical information can be reviewed.

What HRV or ERV support is available?

I design the ventilation layout and equipment approach. After installation, I measure and balance the system against the designed airflow. Send the equipment and duct information and I will quote that work separately.

What should I send?

Send floor plans, mechanical notes, the proposed ventilation approach, equipment information if selected, and any forms from the building department.

Send the drawing set or a share link. Include the address, municipality, current stage, and target dates. I’ll confirm any missing inputs and quote the project by stage.
