Повний текст джерелаThe amplified effects of climate change in the Arctic are well known and, according to many commentators, endanger Inuit cultural integrity. However, the specific connections between climate change and cultural change are understudied. This thesis explores the relationship between climatic shifts and culture in the Inuit community of Salluit, Quebec, Canada. Although residents of Salluit are acutely aware of climate change in their region and have developed causal explanations for the phenomenon, most Salluit residents do not characterize climate change as a threat to Inuit culture. Instead, they highlight the damaging impacts of globalization and internal colonialism as a more serious problem. This counter-narrative suggests that focusing narrowly on climate change can obscure the broader and more immediate challenges facing Inuit communities. Such a realization demonstrates the need for researchers to locate climate change within a matrix of non-climatic challenges in order to mitigate threats to indigenous cultures.

Повний текст джерелаLa production agricole est très dépendante du climat; par conséquent, les futurs changements climatiques globaux pourraient avoir des effets adverses sur la population mondiale en plein essor. L'objectif principal de cette étude était de prédire les conséquences du changement climatique sur l'agriculture. Puisque les projections climatiques actuelles utilisent des modèles de circulation générale à une échelle globale, un modèle statistique de réduction (MSR) a été utilisé pour réduire ces données à l'échelle locale, ce qui est essentiel pour des simulations de production agricole.En reliant les changements du climat locaux prédits (modélisation) aux propriétés du sol et les caractéristiques des cultures (études sur le terrain et en laboratoire), les seuils du contenu en humidité du sol pour la planification d'un horaire d'irrigation efficace ont été définis, et un modèle de besoin en irrigation (MBI) a été développé. En utilisant ce modèle, l'irrigation était déclenchée lorsque l'humidité du sol était de 24 ou 18 mm pour les pêchers croissant en sols sablonneux ou argileux, respectivement, et a été déclenchée à 56 mm pour les vignes croissant en sol argileux. Il était remarquable que le MBI a réduit le besoin en irrigation de 20 to 25% sans affecter le rendement en pêches (50 to 60 kg/arbre).Concernant les augmentations de températures et les variabilités de précipitations prédites, le scénario SDMS-HadCM3 A2 prédit les plus fortes hausses, environ 3.5 et 2.5oC en moyenne pour les températures mensuelles maximum et minimum, respectivement, pendant la saison de croissance (comparé à une période de base 1961-1990). De plus, des précipitations plus fréquentes (8 to 30%) et plus intenses (10 to 50% durant les mois de croissance ont aussi été prédites.Avec ces scénarios de changements climatiques futurs, le rendement en pêches irriguées pourrait augmenter de 5 to 20%, puisque la transpiration des arbres a atteint 0.8 kg/h (comparé à un maximum de 0.4 kg/h sans irrigation). De plus, avec l'irrigation, la fermeté des fruits, le meilleur indicateur du mûrissement et prédicateur du potentiel d'entreposage des pêches, devrait s'améliorer de 20% (valeur actuelle, 340 kPa).L'aspect le plus novateur de cette étude a été le développement du modèle MBI, qui a prédit l'irrigation optimale requise pour maintenir ou augmenter le rendement et la qualité des cultures tout en conservant l'eau.

While ninety percent of new buildings in Canada are built with light wood framing, the conventions of this construction method are seldom challenged, the economic systems behind their materials scarcely exposed, and the accumulative impact on our cities, while often questioned, is seldom answered. Through the design of a pavilion for Canada at the Shanghai World Exposition in 2010 this thesis aims to draw these elements together to stand as a critique of the single family home that is their apotheosis. Also addressed are the ramification of large crowds on the display of objects, the potential for representing national identity without recourse to romanticism or nostalgia and economic and ecological responsibility in view of the ephemeral nature of expo pavilions.

Historical control of the thermal environment was a deeply cultural activity: fireplaces distributed throughout buildings needed to be fed to keep burning, drafts needed to be stopped by hanging heavy tapestries. The industrial revolution filled the air with toxic exhaust, but modernist architects promised to seal the building envelope hermetically, keeping dirty air at bay. Thermal control came to depend on the very same centralized technologies responsible for the toxic storm outside. Pumping climates throughout a building from centralized machine rooms turned the modernist building into a human vivarium: a glass box containing a strange, displaced performance of life in some consistently tempered time and place. Industrialized city-dwellers no longer seek refuge from the outside air, and the vivarium's appetite for energy has proven more than we can sustainably produce. The design project imagines shifts in attitude for architecture after the vivarium. It is a rhetorical project which proposes three main avenues of change from contemporary assumptions. First, it envisions space in which valuable "waste" heat from exhaust, occupants' bodies, and appliances is harvested to provide imperfect and limited thermal control. Secondly, it suggests cultural shifts in clothing, activity levels, and space use that would fluctuate according to season and the availability of thermal controls. Thirdly, it proposes an attitude towards the building skin which eliminates glass in favor of a greyer zone of thermal division between indoors and out. Together these strategies replace centralized and resource-hungry mechanical climate systems with a new kind of cultural acclimatization. The resulting building embraces thermal control as a new kind of luxury good: a problem worthy not only of technical concern, but also of cultural interest.

Повний текст джерелаWhile the technology to construct energy efficient houses exists, whether or not this is economically feasible at the affordable housing level remains undetermined. The current lack of knowledge of the issues related to energy efficiency in lower cost housing is a significant barrier to change.
The study provides a survey of some of the potential upgrades available on the Canadian market and reviews the incremental cost, performance and potential for acceptance of various options.
While varying fuel prices and economic conditions across the country result in equally variant levels of cost effectiveness, it is found that the R-2000 preferred packages, when combined with an energy efficient mortgage (EEM) discount or 1/4 percent, are cost effective in all but one case investigated. Without an EEM, R-2000 upgrading is not cost effective in regions with low fuel prices. Incremental costs for meeting the Advanced House standard are relatively high, but upgrading to this level is found to be cost effective in Halifax (even without an EEM) and in Toronto and Vancouver with an EEM. R-2000 packages should prove acceptable to both builders and buyers, while Advanced House performance requires more significant changes in current practice but could be popular where it is cost effective. Energy efficient upgrading for affordable housing does not appear to be prohibitively expensive in Canada and an opportunity exists to make a significant impact on residential energy consumption.

This thesis aims to answer: (1) to what extent can oil prices and other economic indicators predict the changes in housing prices and rent in the Calgary single family housing market and (2) to determine what the lag time is between them. Implications of this study from a macro perspective are multiple. This study can be used as a simplified case study in isolating the effects of the boom and bust cycles of economic industries and quantify its impact to real estate performance. Results found an astonishing correlation. Oil prices, exchange rate, interest rate and employment levels can determine up to 98% of the changes in house prices and rents. Oil prices, representing economic viability of the city, affect the real estate industry with a lag of 7 quarters of approximately two years, while interest rates representing the financial well-being of the city affect house prices and rents with a lag of 2 1/2 years. Foreign exchange rate to the dollar, representing the relative global prosperity, affects real estate prices in one year. House prices seem to be equally sensitive to a positive or negative shock in oil prices, exchange rate, and interest rates. At which, $25/barrel oil price seems to be the "breakeven" level at which house prices remain stable, all else equal.
(cont.) Above which, prices will continue to appreciate, below which, prices will fall. Not surprisingly, this is the same estimate of the "breakeven" point at which the oilsands in Calgary become economically viable. Rents are more sensitive to positive shocks in oil prices, not exchange rate. Inversely, they sensitive to negative shocks in exchange rate, not oil prices. Rents are not sensitive to interest rates.

Urbanization produces higher air temperatures in cities than in the undeveloped rural surroundings. This phenomenon is known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and has been measured in different cities around the world. Conventional building energy programs use standard meteorological databases obtained from measurements at operational weather stations, which are usually located in open areas outside of the city, typically at the airport. Therefore, air temperature measurements may not include the UHI effect. The UHI effect can have an impact on the energy consumption of buildings, especially residential and naturally ventilated buildings. At the same time, the energy performance of buildings can affect outdoor air temperatures, mainly through the waste heat emissions from outdoor air-conditioning equipment. Consequently, there are situations in which the interactions between the indoor and outdoor environments are reciprocal and thus both domains have to be solved simultaneously. This thesis presents a study of the energy interactions between buildings and the urban climate through the development and evaluation of a set of models. Based on first principles, these models include three different Urban Canopy and Building Energy Models (UC-BEMs), with different levels of detail and applications, and a novel urban climate prediction tool, the Urban Weather Generator (UWG). Developed at the intersection of building energy and urban climate studies, the research builds on fundamental knowledge in both domains. The UC-BEMs account for building thermal effects on climatological predictions and have the potential to predict building energy consumption at urban scale. The UC-BEMs can be coupled with mesoscale atmospheric simulations, establishing a multi-scale model approach from the atmosphere down to buildings that can be used to analyze the impact of future climate change scenarios on the urban climate and the energy consumption of buildings. The UWG calculates site-specific urban climate conditions from measurements at an operational weather station. The model can be used alone or integrated into existing programs in order to account for the UHI effect in building energy simulations. The UWG is evaluated with field data from Toulouse, France, and Basel, Switzerland.

Повний текст джерелаCette thèse regard l'impact des changements environmentales sur la récolte des aliments traditionnels et characterise l'implication de ses changements sur la diète des membres de la communauté. Une combinaison de méthode quantitative et qualitative ont été utilisé pour documenter et estimer la séquence de la récolte des animaux clées locales. En général, les résultats entre la nourriture disponible estimé provennant de la récolte et le montant estimé pour la consumption alimentaire n'étaient pas égaux, parcontre, la ratio entre aurignal et poisson blanc étaient bonne. La relation entre les résultats numériques concernent la récolte et la consumption alimentaire sont complèxes et requièrent deux coordonnées d'informations numériques completes. Si cela existe, il serait possible de prédir la consumption des aliments traditionalles provenant de la récolte. Les résultats qualitatifs dénoncent des changements climatiques affectant la récolte des aliments traditionnels et alterent la façon dont les membres de la communauté font leur récolte pour adapter à ces changements climatiques.
