Exceeding the Ontario Building Code for low-rise residential buildings: Economic and environmental implications [PDF]
Building and Environment, 2014 Abstract The residential sector accounts for approximately one fifth of Canada's secondary energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, addressing the energy efficiency of residential buildings has a significant role to play in reducing the nation's overall greenhouse gas emissions.

Life Cycle Energy of Low Rise Residential Buildings in Indian Context
Open Journal of Energy Efficiency, 2014 Life cycle energy of the building accounts for all energy inputs to the buildings during their intended service life. Buildings need to be constructed in such a way that energy consumption in their life cycle is minimal. Life Cycle Energy (LCE) consumption data of buildings is not available in public domain which is essentially required for building ...
