Single-family housing is the dominant building type in Canada. By 2009, Canada's 9 million houses comprised 57% of the floor area of all buildings, accounted for almost a quarter of the country's consumption of electricity and natural gas, and caused about 12% of the country's total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Despite advances in building codes and regulations, equipment efficiencies, and construction practices, there has been a 13% increase in energy consumption due to single-family housing in the past two decades. Clearly, to meet ambitious GHG emissions reduction targets and to provide for a sustainable and secure energy future, Canada must address this significant and growing sector: innovative new concepts for single-family housing are imperative; incremental efficiency improvements are not sufficient. The long-term goals of my research programme are to improve the understanding of residential energy use patterns and to develop and critically evaluate novel concepts for mitigating the impact of energy demands and for delivering energy services through renewable and sustainable sources.

独户住宅是加拿大主要的建筑类型。到2009年，加拿大的900万户住宅占所有建筑面积的57%，几乎占全国电力和天然气消耗的四分之一，造成了全国温室气体排放总量的12%。尽管在建筑规范和法规、设备效率和施工实践方面取得了进步，但在过去的二十年里，由于单户住宅，能源消耗增加了13%。显然，为了实现雄心勃勃的温室气体减排目标，并提供可持续和安全的能源未来，加拿大必须解决这一重要且不断增长的领域：创新的单户住宅新概念势在必行；仅仅提高效率是不够的。我的研究计划的长期目标是提高对住宅能源使用模式的理解，并开发和批判性地评估新概念，以减轻能源需求的影响，并通过可再生和可持续的资源提供能源服务。
