CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standards are critical to engineering practice because they ensure consistency, safety, quality, and legal compliance.
Today, Nick Stark, Executive Vice President at HH Angus & Associates Ltd., and Gordon Burrill, President of Teegor Consulting Inc., are at the 2025 CCHF Conference in Quebec City, leading a session on the CSA Healthcare Facilities Standards Update. They are providing insights into the ongoing development and evolution of national standards that guide healthcare facility design and operations across Canada.
Their discussion explores updates and revisions to several cornerstone standards:
✅ CSA Z8000 – Healthcare Facilities Design
✅ CSA Z317.2:19 – Special Requirements for HVAC Systems in Healthcare Facilities
✅ CSA Z8008 – Assessments of Healthcare Facilities, Services, and Building Systems
Nick is Vice-Chair of CSA Z8000 and Technical Sub-Committee Chair of CSA Z317.2, and continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the standards that influence infection prevention, patient safety, and engineering excellence in healthcare facilities.
Gordon is Chair of the CSA Technical Committee and Strategic Steering Committee for Healthcare Standards, and brings decades of expertise in healthcare facility operations, infection control, and compliance.
The CCHF Conference provides an important opportunity for professionals nationwide to collaborate, share best practices, and strengthen the delivery of healthcare projects during a time of financial and operational pressures.
