Grant: Canada Research Chairs
British Columbia Institute of Technology
$100,000.00
Whole-Building Performance
FY 2017-18
Summary
The goal of the proposed research program is to advance sustainable building design that yields
high performing (energy efficient, healthy, comfortable and durable), and at the same time
environmentally friendly and cost-effective buildings. Innovative research on the impact of
integrating new materials, design concepts and technologies in sustainable building at the
building envelope and whole-building levels are the foci of the program. The research program is
based on building physics and encompasses not only new building designs but also issues
related to the retrofitting existing buildings. The research program aim is to reduce the
environmental impacts of buildings and to increase economic opportunities, and social and
health benefits for Canadians.
