BEP Provincial Ranking

BEP is an acronym for the Building Envelope Program, which seeks to remedy premature building envelope failure.

The "envelope" includes all the building components that separate the indoors from the outdoors.

School districts identify and prioritize BEP projects, and submit their list to the Ministry of Education as part of the capital plan submission. The Ministry then ranks priorities province-wide and allocates funding.

Capacity: Nominal vs. Operating

The Ministry of Education establishes the nominal capacity for each school according to the space standards for elementary, middle and secondary schools.

The operating capacity of a school is determined by adjusting the nominal capacity to reflect grade structure and classroom student capacity

Catchments (School Boundaries)

A school catchment is the geographical boundary from which a school will normally draw students. This boundary is defined and approved by the Board of Education to ensure an equitable distribution of student enrolment across district schools.

Enrolment

As it is used on this website, the term 'enrolment' refers to the number of registered students in each school, as confirmed by the Ministry of Education's 1701 Verification Report, dated October 25, 2013.

Facility Condition Index

0.00 to 0.05 - Excellent
Near new condition. Meets present and foreseeable future requirements.

0.05 to 0.15 - Good
Good condition. Meets all present requirements.

0.15 to 0.30 - Average
Has significant deficiencies, but meets minimum requirements. Some significant building system components nearing the end of their normal life cycle.

0.30 to 0.60 - Poor
Does not meet requirements. Immediate attention required to some significant building systems. Some significant building systems at the end of their life cycle. Parts may no longer be in stock or very difficult to obtain. High risk of failure of some systems.

0.60 and above - Very Poor
Does not meet requirements. Immediate attention required to most of the significant building systems. Most building systems at the end of their life cycle. Parts may no longer be in stock or very difficult to obtain. High risk of failure of some systems.

Seismic Risk

High 1 (H1)
Most vulnerable structure. At highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure, not repairable after a large seismic event. Structural and non-structural seismic upgrades required.

High 2 (H2)
Vulnerable structure, at high risk of widespread damage or structural failure, likely not repairable after a large seismic event. Structural and non-structural seismic upgrades required.

High 3 (H3)
Isolated failure of building elements such as walls are expected, building not likely repairable after a large seismic event. Structural and non-structural seismic upgrades required.

Medium (M)
Isolated damage to building elements is expected, non-structural elements (such as bookshelves, lighting) are at risk of failure. Non-structural upgrades required. Building to be upgraded or replaced within the Capital Plan when it has reached the end of its useful life.

Low (L)
Least vulnerable structure. Would experience isolated damage and would probably be repairable after a seismic event. Non-structural upgrades may be required.
