New sustainable homes magazine targets residential sector

Ottawa-based Janam Publications has launched SABHomes a companion magazine to its three-year-old Sustainable Architecture & Building Magazine (SABMag). According to a story in Masthead, the new title focuses on the residential sector and targets both trade professionals and homeowners. It was launched in June at the National Green Building Conference in Montreal

The original SABMag focuses on non-residential sustainable architecture for trade professionals.

Some 10,000 copies are mailed to builders, renovators and architects, though publisher Don Griffith says the plan is to get the magazine to newsstands as soon as possible. (Griffith was at one time the editor of Wood/le bois, later renamed Wood Design & Building, a magazine published by the Canadian Wood Council that served the manufactured wood construction industry.)
