History of Green Building Rating Systems in Canada

摘要

Canadians have been concerned about energy efficiency and building performance for a long time. In the building science and research community, as early as 1960, the Division of Building Research at Ottawa's Institute for Research in Construction began publication of a series of "Canadian Building Digest" reports that dealt extensively with moisture, air leakage, thermal loss and durability. In total, 250 subject reports were published, and almost all of them circulate to this day, demonstrating a national appetite for such information.
