NSERC CREATE: Sustainable Building Science Program

建筑是我们生活的重要组成部分;可持续建筑是我们未来的重要组成部分。可持续建筑行业的扩张速度超过了教育系统提供具有可持续建筑科学相关专业知识的高素质人员（HQP）的能力。建筑行业面临着寻找创新技术设计解决方案并加以实施的压力。学术项目落后于对宜居空间和“绿色”建筑的需求。该提案旨在通过建立可持续建筑科学计划（SBSP），为可持续建筑科学的专业培训和创新研究创造一个丰富的，跨学科的，协作的学术环境，以满足对HQP和创新研究和技术的需求-即科学和工程应用于高度可持续建筑的设计，创造，控制，运营和监测，促进健康，居住者满意度和低生态足迹，这必须存在于更大的社区背景下。该计划是战略性的，包括三个NSERC目标领域：环境科学和技术，自然资源和能源，以及健康科学。SBSP将与可持续性互动研究中心（CIRS）完全整合。拟议的计划将整合和加强现有的专业知识和协同作用，并与CIRS和行业合作伙伴，集中这些元素，以开发一种新颖的，整体的，跨学科的可持续建筑科学。SBSP以非常成功的UBC桥梁计划为蓝本，将通过巩固和整合跨学科科学教育，进行最先进的研究和研究现实世界的设计挑战，重点是可持续性，培养下一代建筑设计专业人员。SBSP是加拿大第一个此类项目。它将吸引本科生、研究生和博士后研究员发展必要的科学知识、技术和专业技能，以优化可持续建筑的设计和性能。它将装备学员适应新的“绿色经济”。

Buildings are an important part of our lives; sustainable buildings are an important part of our future. The expansion of the sustainable-building industry is out-pacing the ability of the educational system to provide highly-qualified personnel (HQP) with relevant expertise in sustainable-building science. The building industry is under pressure to find innovative technological design solutions and to implement them. Academic programs have lagged the demand for livable spaces and 'green' buildings. This proposal aims to meet the need for HQP and innovative research and technology, by establishing the Sustainable Building Science Program (SBSP), creating a rich, inter-disciplinary, collaborative, scholarly environment for professional training and innovative research in sustainable-building science-that is, science and engineering applied to the design, creation, control, operation and monitoring of highly sustainable buildings that promote health, occupant satisfaction and have a low ecological footprint, and that must exist in the larger context of the community. The program is strategic in encompassing three NSERC target areas: environmental sciences and technologies, natural resources and energy, and health sciences. SBSP will be fully integrated with the Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS). The proposed program will integrate and enhance existing expertise and synergies and, with CIRS and industry partners, focus these elements to develop a novel, holistic, interdisciplinary science of sustainable building. SBSP, modeled after the highly successful UBC Bridge Program, will train the next generation of building-design professionals by the consolidation and integration of interdisciplinary scientific education, the conduct of state-of-the art research and the study of real-world design challenges with a focus on sustainability. The SBSP is the first of its kind in Canada. It will engage undergraduates, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to develop the scientific knowledge, technologies and professional skills necessary to optimize the design and performance of sustainable buildings. It will equip trainees for the new 'Green Economy'.
