Sustainable housing for a cold climate / Terry Robinson.: NH15-804/1991E-PDF

"While the term "cold climate housing" conjures up images of Canada's far north, this paper will focus on the more temperate regions of Canada where the majority of the Canadian population lives. This paper summarizes the relation of cold climate housing to the environmental crisis, proposes a broader definition of sustainability with respect to Canadian housing, and describes the implications this will likely have for housing designers and builders"--Introduction, p. 1.
