TITLE 2 IN THE FRAGILE SHELTERS SERIES-
COMING SPRING 2027
Climate Crisis - Building to Protect & Shelter
What's Inside this Educational Manual
- Understanding the “Build Canada Homes” program
- What are the options to building a Climate Crisis home?
- Can I renovate to attain a home safe from the elements?
This Manual, Climate Crisis, Building to Protect and Shelter, is about changing our perspective through education on what a house should and could be doing for you and how it could be built and perform to meet a higher standard. One that could meet the challenges in front of us. With some education we can increase and meet expectations on what a home should do for you during the challenges facing it now and into the future. Thus, breaking the cycle of building with diminished returns on what will probably be your biggest investment. Breaking the cycle starts with raising your perspective and expectations on what a home should do for you and not accepting the norm of inefficient, climate ignorance and inadequate performance that Code-built homes of the past just cannot manage.
In these pages we will guide you and help you make intelligent choices, with options that fit your needs and show you how to choose what is the best built home for your situation. Delving into the methodologies and standards that have been developed for a more performance driven home. A home made to perform and stand up against crazy fluctuating temperatures, wind and rain and energy use and rising costs. A home that will work for you every day and bring you into the future safely while increasing your quality of life therein.
