An Aurora HVAC permit package includes a CSA F280 heat loss/gain calculation at the correct -21°C design temperature (Climate Zone 6 — colder than the GTA at -18°C), mechanical drawings, the MVDS ventilation summary and the Schedule 1 designer declaration, every page BCIN-stamped. We deliver the full package for the Town of Aurora from $695, typically within 3-5 business days.
What your Aurora mechanical package includes
Every Aurora HVAC design package contains a room-by-room CSA F280 heat loss and heat gain calculation at -21°C, equipment selection and sizing (furnace, heat pump, AC, or hydronic), mechanical drawings showing duct or piping layout and the equipment schedule, the MVDS ventilation design (mandatory under OBC 2024), and the Schedule 1 designer declaration. Every page carries our BCIN stamp so the Town of Aurora Building Division accepts the submission without a designer-qualification hold.
Sized for Aurora -21°C (Zone 6), not the GTA
Aurora sits in Climate Zone 6 with an OBC January 2.5% design temperature of -21°C from Supplementary Standard SB-1 — colder than Toronto and the lakeshore GTA at -18°C. Designs copied from GTA assumptions undersize equipment for the coldest Aurora days. We size every system to the calculated load at -21°C. If you are considering a heat pump, note a cold-climate unit delivers roughly 65-75% of rated capacity at -21°C, so we verify its output against the load and specify backup heat where appropriate. See the Aurora heat loss page and our cold climate heat pump guide.

A complete BCIN-stamped package — CSA F280 heat loss/gain, equipment sizing, mechanical drawings, MVDS and Schedule 1 — starts at $695, typically delivered in 3-5 business days. A standalone heat loss report starts at $395.
What design temperature do you use for Aurora?
-21°C, Aurora OBC January 2.5% value from Supplementary Standard SB-1 (Climate Zone 6). It is colder than the GTA at -18°C, so we size to -21°C rather than GTA assumptions to avoid undersizing.
Do you handle the MVDS ventilation requirement?
Yes. The Mechanical Ventilation Design Summary is mandatory under OBC 2024 and is included in every package — HRV/ERV selection, airflow rates and the completed MVDS form, BCIN-stamped.
Is the package submitted to York Region or the Town of Aurora?
To the Town of Aurora Building Division. York Region does not issue residential building permits — each municipality runs its own building department.
