As construction, electrical and consulting professionals our jobs are to ensure building development complies with applicable codes. Buildings are financed and insured based on compliance with applicable codes including municipal or regional building codes.
Conflicts between trades, architects, engineers or the authority are resolved with rulings made and any liability placed. At the end of the day, compliance with building code is required or there will be no occupancy.
When it came to consulting on wireless deployment and frequencies interacting with humans or buildings, we went through authorities having jurisdiction including the Government of BC. It was alarming to have political interests interfere with due process and not get the required responses. From BC Hydro to Energy, Housing or Health, government ministers and administrators were not responding to government trained/certified professionals specific to the issues.
It was during the FortisBC application that we found out why. The BC Legislature had allowed BC Hydro to bypass all regulatory process to install smart meters. That is horrific because code changes or law changes take years because ALL applicable industry has to be included.
It is very important to understand utilities can work on their meters. Those meters can not contain antennas radiating large geographical areas and occupants of the buildings. BC Hydro deployed meters and blanket radiation of municipalities, agriculture, businesses without authority or jurisdiction. BC Hydro didn’t consult or inform education, any sciences, insurers, mortgage companies, architects, engineers, fire departments, trades or even building inspection of the cities.
Buildings are designed, insured and comply with building codes for their intended use or environmental loading. Building development is not designed for RF EMF bombardment, MRI chambers are for one example.
BC Hydro as the provinces bigger utility did not go through any regulatory process but FortisBC did and their application moved forward with extremely critical science missing. That science was beyond the scope of the BCUC’s technical understanding and jurisdiction. Here is a link to the FortisBC Application on British Columbia Utilities Commission Website so you can see the extensive process and documents.
The link below is part of Volume 6 of the FortisBC application to the BCUC. Curtis Bennett attended the oral hearings as a registered intervener for several communities as well as in his professional capacity as a government certified professional specific to buildings/electrical energy and as Adjunct Faculty for medical education.
Causality and biological plausibility linking the frequencies to adverse health effects had been missing for decades.
