NRCAN Keeping the Heat in (book / guide on efficient homes & renovation)
 

I came across this today. Its a very comprehensive guide on general home heating and cooling efficiency put together by NRCAN (Natural Resources Canada). Its basically a get started quick guide for EcoRenovators! It goes over quite a bit including:

• Basics of heat movement
• Materials used for insulation and sealing
• Moisture control
• Air leakage control and testing
• Insulating roofs and attics
• Insulating walls
• Insulating basements
• Windows & doors
• How to operate your home more efficiently

Yup, very good organization. They have a lot of publications if you want to search. Takes some time. The Building Science Corp in Mass. references them a lot.
