This will include (1) surveying construction manufacturers to evaluate current practice; (2) preparing a report on the survey findings; (3) preparing a self-assessment survey for participating companies (this tool will allow the participating companies to interrogate their own current practice, focusing on project planning and management, opportunities for process waste reduction, and commitment to decarbonization); (4) developing a framework for data-driven planning and management to reduce process waste at the manufacturing stage of offsite construction; and (5) developing a framework for a digital communication, data-driven decision making, factory layout optimization, and GHG assessment within a common data environment., description french : Optimisation et décarbonation de la construction de bâtiments grâce à l’industrialisation, expected results english : 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.
