COLLABORATIONS CORNER
The College of New Caledonia’s (CNC) Applied Research and Innovation has collaborated with Twin Maple Group to research the issue of aluminum reflective foil insulation as replacement for poly vapor barrier in wall building systems. This federally funded study involved measuring the energy consumption required to heat two identical sheds at CNC’s Prince George campus.
