Complete study and report submitted to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
 
If everyone on the prairies tried to maintain comfortable winter levels of humidity in their homes, condensation would be a serious problem. Leakage of humidified air through ceilings and exterior walls would result in damaging amounts of condensation. Fortunately for the condition of their houses, most people put up with sore eyes sore noses, itchy skin, cracking floors and furniture, and higher than necessary energy bills. The advent of the R-2000 house brought this potential problem to the fore; not only were reduced leakage levels needed to reduce energy consumption, increased amounts of insulation aggravate condensation problems.
