Executive Summary Over the last two decades there has been significant advancement in the development of technologies known as Building Automation Systems (BAS), which enable energy to be fully managed at the building level. This advancement has been driven by the need for energy usage cost reductions in the construction and building management sector, as 70% of the total energy expenditures in the US is attributed to buildings, as is 40% of global carbon emissions, a staggering number. The potential market size for BAS is also significant. A $279 billion investment opportunity in energy retrofits of existing buildings in the US could eliminate 600 million metric tons of CO2 emissions and potentially result in a potential $1 trillion in energy savings over 10 years. The proposed NSERC IRCC Chair in Smart Connected Buildings: Intelligent Building Automation Systems will enable Canadian companies to take a leadership role in the global BAS market via: (i) leadership of an applied research program that develops intelligent BAS systems (IBAS) achieving a significant increase in energy management efficiency; (ii) enabling Canadian building energy management companies to be more successful in developing and commercializing new IBAS products and services nationally and internationally; (iii) supporting construction sector companies in IBAS adoption through unbiased technology/product assessment and hands-on support in case-studies; (iv) facilitating cultural change within different construction sector stakeholders groups to enable collaboration on IBAS solutions across all the phases of the building life-cycle; (v) enhancing George Brown College capacity in research and training.

执行摘要 在过去的二十年里，被称为建筑自动化系统(BAS)的技术的发展取得了重大进展，这种技术使能源能够在建筑层面上得到全面管理。这一进步是由建筑和建筑管理部门降低能源使用成本的需求推动的，因为美国总能源支出的70%来自建筑，全球碳排放的40%也是如此，这一数字令人震惊。BAS的潜在市场规模也很大。在美国现有建筑的能源改造方面，2790亿美元的投资机会可以减少6亿吨二氧化碳排放，并有可能在10年内节省1万亿美元的能源。 拟议的NSERC智能互联建筑IRCC主席：智能建筑自动化系统将使加拿大公司能够通过以下方式在全球BAS市场发挥领导作用：(I)领导开发智能BAS系统(IBAS)的应用研究计划，实现能源管理效率的显著提高；(Ii)使加拿大建筑能源管理公司在国内和国际上更成功地开发和商业化新的IBAS产品和服务；(Iii)通过公正的技术/产品评估和案例研究中的实践支持，支持建筑行业公司采用IBAS；(Iv)促进不同建筑部门利益攸关方群体之间的文化变革，以便能够在建筑生命周期的所有阶段就国际建筑协会解决方案进行合作；(V)加强乔治·布朗学院的研究和培训能力。
