On November 22, the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) placed a regulatory proposal on the Environmental Registry (EBR) to make amendments to O. Reg 524/98 (Exemptions from compliance approvals related to point source air emissions) related to, amongst other things, Air Ventilation Systems in Public and Private Schools (primary and secondary). Under present legislation, any system that is a potential emitter of air contaminants and noise requires a Compliance Approval from the MOECC unless it meets a specific exemption. School Air Ventilation systems are caught by this requirement. Because these systems are considered low risk, however, the new system will allow for an exemption from the current approval and registration requirements.
