| Abstract: |
| "Every year, millions of Canadian householders renovate their homes. Most renovations have the same goal-to make homes more functional, more secure, more comfortable and more enjoyable. Over the past two decades, architects, engineers, designers and builders have made tremendous improvements in designing and building homes. New homes today are far more energy-efficient and comfortable than in the past. We recognize the importance of clean, fresh air indoors and of keeping chemicals and other pollutants to a
minimum. We have learned how to build homes by using fewer natural resources and reducing the negative impact of housing on the environment. This booklet presents seven outstanding renovation projects that show a different set of renovation challenges and solutions. Together, they demonstrate how a house of any age can be turned into a healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient home.
