ASHRAE is a private organization. It has no jurisdiction here or in the US. However the standards of private standard setting bodies are often adopted by governments because they are a reliable source of information. I don't know if ASHRAE codes are used here, but they have zero jurisdiction.

Yes it's a code we follow here in Ontario...just like N.F.P.A. another US organization, that we must follow.
We follow these codes like many others.
If you look you can find the program on the web site or purchase it. I did when it first came out. In fact took a little seminar presented by the Gas Co. at the time of this new requirment and working the software.
Again this may not apply to Commercial buildings because of the flexibility in the MECHANICAL systems...but in a Condo it's not the same.

plus note the O.B.C. says you must follow these codes, not 100% on the National Code.

PS also just because other buildings are all glass does not mean its ok...that's what I am trying to say....so many I see FAIL plus if you notice not ALL buildings are this ALL glass type...some of the more experience developers don't build all glass buildings. I know I would not just on moral grounds.

Please learn proper forum posting etiquette. It's really simple. Try editing your last post, instead of making post after post after post of off topic information.

I appreciate the info, but you've posted the same thing in every single thread. Give it a rest!
You seem to be passionate about the topic, so maybe you should consider posting a thread about ASHRAE 90.1 or HVAC in general and anyone who honestly cares will discuss it with you there. You don't need to shove it in our faces.

Boy svenglezz, I bet you're the life of every party now aren't you.
I can just picture all of the panicked party guests coming up with secret hand signals for each other trying to ditch you.
Maybe you and Dichotomy should hook up.
