[9] In the late 1970s, the SRC was contracted to design and build a passive solar house that was suitable for Canadian prairie conditions.

The project, which hired Harold Orr from the National Research Council, resulted in the construction of the Saskatchewan Conservation House in Regina in 1977.

[13] The project featured innovations such as the blower door test, air-to-air heat exchange, and an airtight construction that became influential in low-energy building design.

SRC's GenServe Laboratories were involved in testing for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad Cow disease).

[16] In the past they housed a SLOWPOKE-II nuclear research reactor (that had 16 kW thermal power) that performed analytical tests.

[23] SRC is contracted by the Government of Saskatchewan to manage the thirty-seven abandoned uranium mine and mill sites near Lake Athabasca through Project CLEANS.
