Development of a Framework for Construction Material Passports in Canada Using Digital Twins Technology - Part 1
FY 2024-25 · 2024-04-10
Summary
This study plans to support systematic, knowledge-based support for
decision-makers by offering a standardized approach to tracking and
managing the lifecycle of construction materials, via “digital material
passports”. The ultimate goal of the project is to investigate and establish a
framework for the first construction industry material passport (MP) for
Canada, utilizing digital twin technology. This framework would encompass
the integration of digital twin technology, offering a comprehensive solution
to ensure transparency and efficiency of material data across the
construction industry. The scope of this statement of work for Part 1 of the
project is: (1) a comprehensive literature review and scan of the state-of-theart in materials passports and digital twins (DTs) for construction materials,
and (2) development of the roadmap for the next steps, and (3) design of the
conceptual framework for the proposed MP. It will identify the knowledge
gaps and benefits, and it will establish a compelling business case for the
adoption of construction material passport applications within the Canadian
context.

Description (French)
Le projet prévoit le soutien méthodique, fondé sur le savoir, des décideurs grâce à une approche normalisée de surveillance et de gestion du cycle de vie des matériaux de construction reposant sur un « passeport numérique » pour les matériaux. Le but ultime consiste à étudier puis à établir un cadre pour le premier passeport des matériaux destiné à l’industrie canadienne du bâtiment qui recourrait à la technologie du jumelage numérique. En intégrant cette technologie, un tel cadre offrirait une solution complète qui garantirait la transparence et l’utilité des données sur les matériaux à la grandeur de l’industrie de la construction. L’énoncé des travaux de la première partie comprend : (1) un dépouillement complet de la documentation et une étude des meilleurs passeports de matériaux et jumeaux numériques (JN) existants, (2) l’élaboration d’une feuille de route pour les étapes subséquentes et (3) la création du cadre théorique du passeport envisagé. Ces activités permettront de préciser les lacunes et les avantages d’une telle solution ainsi que la constitution d’un dossier d’analyse concluant.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
