Cohousing-L Mailing List: Housing design and energy use

[William Zimmerman (wbzedder]

Has anyone out there heard of the R-2000 programme in Canada (other than
the Canadaians on the list)?  Initially just concerned with energy use of
dwellings, it has now extended to broader environmental concerns including
indoor air quality, construction waste, and embodied energy issues.  If
anyone is interested in hearing more, let me know. There is a book on
R-2000 construction standards and a computer programme that can be used to
assess the energy use of residential buildings.
