The difficulties with fuel that population requires to heat the houses in winter strictly appeared in the twentieth century. Nowadays' energy efficiency rules demand more suitable goods than squared timber and beam frameworks. Strict norms in thermal shielding of buildings that are established in Europe are really difficult to meet. Citizens have to use efficient heat insulating stuff. To follow the specified demands in heat insulting, external wall should have thickness: 50 centimeters for squared timber walls, 150 centimeters for brick walls and for wooden carcass only 15 centimeters.

The base of wooden framework of a house is dry wood carcass. Honeycomb structure makes this building very firm and strong after it is framed. From the external part the carcass commonly planked with fireproof cement plate and from the inside it is filled with basalt wadding. Vapor sealing is provided within the construction to secure it from fumes that can emerge inside the building. Moreover, there must be applied reflecting insulation that returns approximately ninety percent of heat back in the building. Carcass houses usually covered with windproof membrane on the walls that is useful for heat preservation of the building. This structure guarantees the safety of wooden carcass for the whole period of exploitation of the building.

A Canadian house may be made even on a basis of not deep type. It also can be a foundation of drilled piles with the usage of contemporary heat insulation matters that avert frost penetration in soil under it.
