A changing climate means new design challenges - and new techniques that can be used to solve them. See what we learned at a recent OAA conference in Quebec City.

We’ve come to expect the products we purchase - electronics, appliances, vehicles etc. - to function properly ‘out of the box’. Generally this follows rigorous testing performed by the manufacturer before it is released to the public. So why should the construction of a new home, which is arguably the largest purchase you will make, be any different.
