Canadian building research of interest to the air- conditioning engineer

A rigorous selection of subjects for study by the Division of Building Research has had to be made. Those subjects of interest to the air-conditioning engineer which are considered most appropriate for study relate more to the pertinent characteristics of Canadian building and the Canadian climate than to the equipment as such, although equipment studies are not excluded. Much of the work of interest is that carried out in the Building Services Section. In it, work has been developed along four major lines: the thermal and moisture performance of materials and materials in combination forming the building enclosure, the performance of building equipment, heat and mass interchange between the enclosure and the environment, and heat exchange between the ground and associated structures.Peer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
