Airtightness and Energy Efficiency of New Conventional and R-2000 Housing in Canada, 1997
註釋Presents a national survey of the airtightness and energy efficiency of new housing, including both conventional and R-2000 houses in all southern regions of Canada. The database for the study consists of detailed information on 163 new conventional houses and 63 R-2000 houses. Airtightness results are compared with historical trends from a survey of 2,037 houses built from 1793 to 1996. Energy efficiency is examined both in terms of normalized space heat energy and by the newly developed energy rating system of EnerGuide for Houses, and shows regional variations. Heat losses by major building component such as basements and main walls are also estimated.
