About ClearbrookHome

ClearbrookHome is a reference archive focused on net-zero and energy-efficient residential construction in Canada. The content draws from publicly available technical standards, building science research, and regulatory guidance from federal and provincial bodies.

What This Archive Covers

The three main subject areas on this site are passive house standards, solar photovoltaic integration, and building envelope design — all applied specifically to residential construction in Canadian climate zones. The content is descriptive rather than prescriptive: it maps out what current standards say, how various technical approaches differ, and what building code requirements are in effect across provinces.

No products, contractors, or manufacturers are endorsed. External links point only to authoritative sources: Natural Resources Canada, CMHC, Passive House Canada, and peer-reviewed building science publications.

Who Maintains This

ClearbrookHome operates from Vancouver, British Columbia. The editorial team consists of building science researchers and technical writers with background in low-energy construction. Contact details for questions about the content are listed below.
