The report, entitled Solar Home Heating in Canada : Prob- lems and Perspectives', was sponsored by the Advanced Con- cepts ,Centre of the Department of the Environment, and was pre- pared by Drs. Harold S. Foster and W. R. Derrick Sewell of the Department of Geography, Uni- versity of Victoria. It reflects the attitudes of 14 different socio-economic groups who in some way could sway pub- lic;opinion in favor of solar heat- ing. Included in those polled were inventors, equipment manufac- turers, architects, builders, media personalities, bankers, labor leaders, realtors and offi- cials of utilities and various levels of government.

VICTORIA.,,, GREY VG TRUST COMPANY 5,NC E '969 Main Street East, Listowel D. N. Lefebvre, Manager expect 40 per cent of Canadian housing to be solar heated by the year 2001, whereas provincial government and utility officials anticipate that only 10 per cent of all homes will be solar heated by the same date. However, all groups indicated they expect solar heating to inevitably in- crease. To date, in Canada there are .less than 100 solar''heated homes. Drs. Foster and Sewell identified a series of reasons for the lack of solar heating in Canada : the high initial cost of solar systems; the problem of installing solar heat- ing in older homes; the lacof tangible federal incentives; pub- lic apathy to environmental de- terioration associated with fossil fuel usage; conservatism on the part of mortgage granting in- stitutions and the building trades. To rectify the situation, the authors have made the following recommendations: the establish- ment of a consortium of govern- ment and private 'interests to manufacture and install solar equipment; the setting up of a series of "catalyst areas” or "solar zones" where special in- centives would be offered; that Central Mortgage a d Housing Corporation furnish wer rate mortgages to parches s of solar homes; that mortgagei,payments tw deductible from pre-tax in- come; that Canadians should be able to take part in special tours of hotels, motels and other build- ings that have installed sub- sidized solar heating. Those per- sons interested would be able to address enquiries about costs, design and installation to a pro- posed National Solar Energy In- formation Centre, using a widely publicized Zenith number.
