Residential combustion venting failure : a systems approach : final technical report / prepared for the Research Division, Policy Development and Research Sector, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation...: NH17-75/1987E-PDF
The project reported on here was designed to expand on previous studies of the problem of incomplete venting of the products of combustion from heating appliances in order to approach a more nearly comprehensive understanding of the extent and nature of the problem in the Canadian housing stock. The work was subdivided into seven separate but closely coordinated sub-projects.
