Focusing on National Building Code (NBC) Part 9 small residential buildings (single and multi-units), it will establish economic analysis methods for cost and time impacts, identify tools for calculating GHG, carbon, water, and embodied energy impacts, and determine data-source gaps to adapt these tools to Canadian economic regions. Using BIM models, the project will set benchmarks and evaluate both off-site and conventional construction solutions over multiple life cycles of materials and building systems. This approach will ensure comprehensive comparisons of emerging construction options, guiding future investments and policy for scalable and low-carbon residential building practices in Canada., description french : Analyse des conséquences sur le cycle de vie à long terme (LCIA) des options de construction résidentielle hors site par rapport aux options de construction résidentielle conventionnelle, 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. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : nan, additional information french : nan, owner organization : nrc-cnrc, owner organization title : National Research Council Canada | Conseil national de recherches Canada
