    Concept:

    change in building design, construction

    "Canada today where important changes such as humidification in winter are being introduced. It is now possible with the aid of building science to recognize the pertinent factors affecting the performance of walls and to analyse wall designs systematically as to probable performance in respect of their varied requirements. With this capability one may begin to discriminate between various designs for particular uses, and, even more important, to provide a basis for the development of improved designs.
