However, despite its contribution to decarbonization, several challenges have hindered its growth in the market. A 2017 study examined 5 key issues: negative stigma, lack of large-scale cases, regulatory barriers and competitive disadvantages related to financing and supply. To meet national commitments to reduce emissions, an in-depth study of industrialized/off-site construction and its stakeholders is proposed to re-examine the barriers to its adoption, including an analysis of the current state of industrialized/off-site construction including a literature review, stakeholder interviews, an industry-wide survey and a case study of a homebuilder who moved from a conventional model to an industrialized/off-site approach (panels)., description french : Transformation de la construction conventionnelle à la construction industrialisée, 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
