Info

• Optimize the area and orientation of windows for passive solar gains. • Use two layers of drywall in the interior face of the wall to function as a heat sink. • Avoid penetrating the building envelope as this contributes to energy losses and weakens moisture control barriers. To maintain the integrity of the air and vapour barriers, avoid installing electric boxes or wiring in the exterior walls. • Use I-beam for studs. • Consider a south-facing single plane style for the roof. Heating, Ventilation, and Services Considerations • A solar wall concept preheats ventilation air. • Use an integrated system for heat and domestic hot water in place of the traditional two separate systems. Consider an instantaneous electric water heater for domestic hot water. • Co-generation district heating is suitable for close proximity communities.

Appendix A: <strong>Literature</strong> Search Approach Objective <strong>Review</strong> building/housing issues and building envelope technologies adopted in the extreme climates in Canadian northern and coastal regions as well as elsewhere globally particularly in high latitudes regions such as Norway, Finland, Sweden, Greenland, Russia, and. Northern China. Extreme climates are defined as: • extreme cold outdoor climate; • extreme humid-cold outdoor climate (as in Canadian northern-coastal regions); and • high indoor humidity and extreme cold outdoors. <strong>Literature</strong> Topics For extreme cold and humid-cold climates, review the global literature on: • building envelope systems; • outdoor/indoor environments; • building technologies; and • sustainable building envelope examples.
