In the past five years, the applicant's research activities in construction and asset management have resulted in significant contributions to the field as shown by: (1) a large number of refereed publications with students and co-workers, in addition to one textbook and one patent; (2) graduation of 6 Ph.D. and 7 Master's students; and (3) extensive technology transfer to industry through private consultation, workshops, and development of computer programs for use by educators and professionals in the industry. The research proposed for the next five years is a continuation of the applicant's work. The research will use advanced information technology tools to support decisions related to how and when to renew healthcare facilities, which are considered one of the most challenging facilities to deal with. The proposed research will seek innovations in four main areas: (1) Identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for prioritizing renewal activities, considering parameters related to physical condition, level of service to multiple stakeholders (patients, staff), minimizing the risk of failure for critical equipment, and sustainability issues related to technology, environment, and investment value; (2) Developing a framework for multi-year life cycle analysis of healthcare facilities considering the identified KPIs and cost analysis of various renewal options; (3) Developing an integrated optimization model to maximize the value gained from the limited renewal dollars; and (4) Developing an advanced scheduling and project control model to support effective execution of renewal programs considering deadlines and budget constraints. The direct outcome of the research is a generic infrastructure asset management framework with a computerized prototype that suits healthcare facilities, and can be adapted to the more general case of mixed infrastructure assets. Ultimately, the research will develop leading technology and know-how to improve the status of Canada's infrastructure, thereby contributing to the prosperity of Canadians as well as to the competitive advantage of Canadian asset management companies.

在过去的五年中，申请人在建筑和资产管理方面的研究活动对该领域做出了重大贡献，如：（1）除了一本教科书和一项专利外，还与学生和同事一起发表了大量参考出版物;（2）6名博士毕业。硕士研究生7人;以及（3）通过私人咨询、讲习班和开发供教育工作者和业内专业人士使用的计算机程序，向业界广泛转让技术。未来五年的研究是申请人工作的延续。该研究将使用先进的信息技术工具来支持与如何以及何时更新医疗设施相关的决策，这些设施被认为是最具挑战性的设施之一。本研究将在四个主要领域寻求创新：（1）确定关键绩效指标（KPI），以确定更新活动的优先顺序，考虑与物理条件相关的参数，对多个利益相关者的服务水平（患者、工作人员），最大限度地降低关键设备的故障风险，以及与技术、环境和投资价值相关的可持续性问题;（2）开发一个框架，用于医疗设施的多年生命周期分析，同时考虑已确定的KPI和各种更新选项的成本分析;（3）开发一个综合优化模型，以最大限度地提高有限更新资金的价值;以及（4）开发先进的进度和项目控制模型，以支持考虑期限和预算约束的更新计划的有效执行。该研究的直接成果是一个通用的基础设施资产管理框架，该框架具有适合医疗保健设施的计算机化原型，并且可以适应混合基础设施资产的更一般情况。最终，该研究将开发领先的技术和专门知识，以改善加拿大的基础设施状况，从而为加拿大人的繁荣以及加拿大资产管理公司的竞争优势做出贡献。
