Air barrier solutions for buildings in North American Climates. Proceedings. Air Barriers III.

This symposium covers materials, techniques and technologies successfully employed in energy efficient air barrier systems for residential and commercial buildings. Also looks at occupancy ventilation issues when developing functional energy efficient air barrier systems.

Evaluation and development of innovative and energe efficient ventilation strategies.

A potential conflict may exist between energy saving and good indoor climate. The present project is phase 2 of a 5-year research programme consisting of four phases, the objective of which was to develop energy efficient ventilation strategies that will provide both healthy and comfortable indoor climate and reduced energy consumption when compared to present standard.

Regarding energy myths.

Discusses some of the many myths of energy efficient behaviour, and the importance of scepticism and awareness.

New carrots for energy efficiency programs.

Under deregulation, performance incentives to get utilities interested in investing in energy efficiency programs need to change. What works now and why?
