Description
Center for Building North America aims to study building codes and construction policy in the United States and Canada from a global perspective. Its goal is to identify avenues for reform that would align these codes with those of other developed countries. In 2022, the center was founded, and it launched its website while also initiating work on a report that examines why elevators in North America are three times as expensive as they are in western Europe. This report is expected to be completed by 2023 or early 2024.
