Abstract:
CMHC collaborated with the Nunavut Housing Corporation (NHC) in Nunavut and the Tr'ond?k Hw?ch'in First Nation in the Yukon to design two examples of the Northern Sustainable House. This project had two objectives: to promote the design of culturally appropriate housing across the North, and to construct housing that consumes 50 percent less energy than similar housing constructed to the Model National Energy Code for Houses (MNECH).
