CFIA Phytosanitary Certificate
For each wood-frame construction that Faberca ships overseas by container from its factory in Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issues a phytosanitary certificate guaranteeing the quality of the wood being shipped. It must have been treated in conformity with the Agency’s norms and be free of all micro-organisms.
Solar energy is absorbed in winter via most of the window area on the south side of the home, then stored in a thermal mass and redistributed as heat.
The summer sun is controlled with the aid of a device that allows the sunlight to pass through while preventing the direct rays from entering the home. This may be accomplished with shade screens or by roof angles calculated according to the direction of the sun.
