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.
