Payloads include high speed Internet services, direct broadcast TV, mobile telecommunication, etc. The envelope operates as a super-pressure hull(i. e. with no ballonet pressure control system). The hull will be of laminated fabric construction with Tedlar/Teflon, helium/weather barrier developed from AT-10/04. Multiple catenary curtain system supporting a payload module enclosed completely by the envelope. [The] payload module... comprises a single structural module with an externally mounted payload/mission system. The payload module provides a home for all of the airship's primary systems except for the propulsion system. The systems are close packed within the highly insulated module ensuring efficient heat and energy management. The payload module is pendulum stabilised within the envelope. The solar array provides the sole source of renewable energy for the airship. The array is placed over the upper quarter of the hull and extends over approximately three-quarters of the length of the craft. The array can be realigned to the daily sun location/angle by the roll rotation of the whole airship. The energy collected by the solar array is stored for use during the night in the series of batteries. Located in the stored for use during the night in a series of batteries. Located in the payload module, the batteries run the propulsion system, airship services and provide power to the mission system for up to 14 hours(during winter). The airship is propelled and steered by means of a ’Contra-Rotating Coned Rotor’ mounted on a tailcone at the rear of the envelope, as a part of a compound propulsion system. The unit provides longitudinal thrust(to counter the prevailing stratospheric winds) and lateral force(for manoeuvering) to enable the airship to hold station within a 1 km cube. The airship will be equipped with a multi-channel Flight Control Sy

Under the direction of Solomon Morash(whose home is another heritage building in Lunenburg), the construction was continued and the building was completed by late 1895. The building has an entirely wood structure and stands three stories tall. From its perch on top of Gallow's Hill the Academy can be seen from miles around and is claimed to be one of the most remarkable heritage buildings in the province.

St. James Historical Museum, authentic Red River frame house built by William Brown and his Métis wife, Charlotte Ormand.

OBS

The Red River style of log building construction was one of the original methods used in Canada. The logs were left rounded with notched ends. This type of construction consisted of a basic frame of grooved, vertical, squared posts, mortised and tenoned into sills at their bases or set directly into the ground (in rare, early cases), and at their tips, mortised and tenoned into squared plates. Horizontal, squared timbers were fixed between these posts, with the tenons of the horizontal timbers fitting into the vertical groove of the posts. Roof structures of varying types were built on the wall plates. Red River Frame construction allowed both flexibility and portability. Large buildings could be erected using short logs, and buildings could be easily dismantled, moved and put up elsewhere. For these reasons, Red River Frame was the predominant type of construction used in the Canadian West during the fur trade era. The Red River style of log construction has spread across North America and is currently enjoying new popularity. Red River log construction is yet another Metis contribution to the development of Canada.

Vertical squared logs, slotted on two sides and set approximately three-metre intervals, and supported on a stone foundation, provided the building’s framework.

OBS

Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology(CANMET), the research and development arm of Natural Resources Canada, is working in partnership with the Canadian Home Builders’ Association to champion the design and construction of more environmentally appropriate, energy-efficient housing. The Advanced Houses Program, an initiative under Canada's Green Plan to reduce global warming, provides industry with the opportunity to develop and field test new products and technologies. Under the Advanced Houses Program, ten prototype homes, all winners of a national design competition, are being constructed across Canada. Each Advanced House is designed to minimize its impact on the external environment by consuming less than one-quarter the energy and one-half the water of a conventional canadian home and has a significantly better level of comfort and indoor air quality.

Le Centre canadien de la technologie des minéraux et de l'énergie (CANMET), l'organisme de recherche-développement de Ressources naturelles Canada, s'est joint à l'Association canadienne des constructeurs d'habitations pour promouvoir des concepts et des techniques de construction plus écologiques et plus éconergétiques. Pour donner suite aux recommandations du Plan vert relatives au réchauffement planétaire, on a lancé le Programme de la maison performante, qui fournit à l'industrie les moyens d'essayer en conditions réelles de nouveaux produits et technologies. Dans le cadre du Programme de la maison performante, on a construit dix maisons prototypes réparties à travers le Canada. Tous ces projets ont été sélectionnés par un concours national. On a conçu chacune de ces maisons pour réduire à un strict minimum son impact sur l'environnement. Elles consomment moins d'un quart de l'énergie et la moitié de l'eau utilisées dans une maisons ordinaire canadienne et les niveaux de confort et de qualité de l'air y sont bien plus élevés.
