Research Highlight

Earth Tube Ventilation Systems — Applicability in the Canadian Climate
This Research Highlight summarizes the results of a review of available research on residential earth-to-air heat exchangers (EAHX, also called earth tubes) and their applicability to the Canadian climate. The findings of this research has shown that while many earth tubes have been installed in residential (and commercial) buildings, there is currently little information available that characterizes the performance of residential EAHX in most of Canada's climatic conditions with respect to potential energy savings and impact on indoor air quality.

About Your Apartment
Energy and Water-Saving Tips for Your Apartment
If you rent or own your apartment, there are things you can do to reduce your energy and water consumption. CMHC's Energy and Water-Saving Tips for Your Apartment fact sheet shows you a number of ways to cut your energy and water needs and make your apartment more comfortable — by yourself or in cooperation with your building's management. If your energy and water use are metered, these tips can save you money. If your building is bulk metered, the tips applied in many or all the apartments in your building can reduce overall building gas, electricity and water costs which can help keep rents more affordable.
