The window for building anything in the Arctic is short, as we know. One of the case studies we have in the report—and that's the one that pertains to Nunavut—demonstrates that you can actually, in the factories in the south, create the types of panels and other units that you can then ship to the north and put together. It's called a KOTT design. It has the right type of vapour barrier. It has the highest insulating effect. It will not deteriorate.
So instead of doing it on the ground, you actually make sure that things are done properly from the beginning, and in cooperation with northerners, the company that's involved in this—and the Government of Nunavut has been involved as well—has come up with this particular design. Things are manufactured relatively cheaply in the south and then shipped up in that window of opportunity that you have with the sealift and put together, and not only in Iqaluit but also in other communities in Nunavut. My researcher was up there and talked to the general contractor, and these houses are very easy to put together, really durable, very energy-efficient, and the people who have moved into the first homes seem to actually be warm instead of cold.
We'll see, but these houses are supposed to last a lot longer than the current building stock.
