We acknowledge that we live, work, meet and travel land on the traditional territories of many First Nations and Indigenous Peoples that have cared for this land for millennia, now called Canada. Our head office is based in Chilliwack, BC - home to the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Stó:lō Coast Salish peoples.
We recognize that land acknowledgements are a first step towards the larger process of reconciliation between non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples in Canada. This practice is inspired by the 94 calls to action contained in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada report, and helps Canadians recognize and respect Indigenous peoples’ inherent kinship beliefs when it comes to the land. It serves as a starting place to change how the land is seen and talked about.
According to the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program website, the program is open to affordable housing providers to help them complete deep energy retrofits on existing multi-unit residential buildings.
Relieving energy poverty through deep retrofits sheds light on the urgent need for investments in deep retrofits to alleviate energy poverty among low-income households who face challenges in meeting their energy needs due to factors such as high energy bills and inefficient housing. As of today, approximately 20% of households in Canada are grappling with energy poverty, with half of them also falling into the low-income bracket.
The performance of the building envelope is impacted by a number of sub‐systems, such as heating, cooling and ventilating equipment, plumbing and electrical systems.
Faulty, leaking, windows can be frustrating, both financially and lack energy efficiency. Windows that let drafts in, cause cold spots, collect condensation, dampness, and mould, usually don’t offer enough defense against noise pollution. Due to these problematic results, windows have to go through a thorough testing process to make sure they have been designed correctly and offer sufficient protection and energy efficency to the resident.
The term ‘thermally broken’ is used in the window and door manufacturing industry to describe a window’s construction. It means that you manufacture the aluminum frame to have an interior and exterior side joined by barrier. The barrier helps inhibit conductive thermal energy loss.
Living on the Washington coast means dealing with wet weather, salty air, and cool temperatures. Choosing the right windows can help keep your home warm, lower your energy bills, and protect against the elements. Let’s break down what makes a window energy-efficient, and what to look for when shopping.
Living by the coast means enjoying stunning views and staying close to nature. But it also means dealing with salt air, strong winds, and constant moisture. In places like the Pacific Northwest, choosing windows that can withstand these elements isn’t just a design decision, it’s a structural imperative.
To clean the glass, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild soap. Dish soap is a cost-effective choice for outdoor window cleaning because it's gentle on glass and can effectively cut through dirt and grime. Avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, they can scratch the surface or damage coatings.
For best results, clean on a cloudy day to prevent streaks from sunlight drying the cleaner too fast. Wipe in a circular motion, then finish with a dry microfiber cloth for a clear, polished look.
