How many SB buildings have been constructed in far northern climates? Can anyone think of specific buildings in Northern AB/SK/MB, Alaska, Yukon/NWT, Northern Ontario, Northern Norway, Sweden or Finland? I'd love to hear about any firsthand observations of moisture accumulation or IAQ issues in these climates.</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new
