Carleton University and Styro Rail are applying for a NSERC Collaborative Research and Development grant to conduct a three year, comprehensive research program on the integration of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) into composite expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels with a composite backer board. Styro Rail has completed the conceptual design phase of the product, however a number of research questions have arisen that this research program will address. These include how VIPs age, what effect do VIPs have on the hygrothermal performance of a wall, how the composite panel can be optimized taking into account cost, thermal performance and house geometry, and finally whether simple programs can be developed to quickly determine the effective thermal resistance of installed systems. To address these problems, 7 research projects have been proposed, with 3 focused on thermal performance, 2 focused on hygrothermal performance and 2 focused on VIP aging. To conduct this research program, 1 Ph.D. student and 1 M.A.Sc. student have been recruited to start in May and September 2016, respectively.This research program will provide Styro Rail with sufficient tools and research answers to revise their manufacturing process and market their product to home builders. This work will allow Styro Rail to exploit the research results for commercial use and distribute their product with a high confidence level in performance and reliability. Afterwards, the desire is to have a growth in new builds that will strive to achieve the various low energy consumption standards that are available, such as Passive House and R-2000 amongst others. Additionally, this program will enable research that leads to new knowledge and methods for energy efficient building design, construction and renovation. Furthermore, it is anticipated that this research will attract and drive industry innovations in value-added building envelope design, with a Canadian company at the forefront of the product development.

卡尔顿大学和 Styro Rail 正在申请 NSERC 合作研究与开发拨款，以开展为期三年的综合研究计划，将真空绝热板 (VIP) 集成到带有复合背板的复合发泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 板中。 Styro Rail 已完成产品的概念设计阶段，但出现了本研究计划将解决的许多研究问题。其中包括 VIP 如何老化、VIP 对墙壁的湿热性能有何影响、如何在考虑成本、热性能和房屋几何形状的情况下优化复合板，以及最后是否可以开发简单的程序来快速确定已安装系统的有效热阻。为了解决这些问题，提出了7个研究项目，其中3个专注于热性能，2个专注于湿热性能，2个专注于VIP老化。为了开展这项研究计划，1 名博士。学生和 1 名硕士学位学生已分别于 2016 年 5 月和 9 月开始招募。该研究计划将为 Styro Rail 提供足够的工具和研究答案，以修改其制造流程并将其产品推销给住宅建筑商。这项工作将使 Styro Rail 将研究成果用于商业用途，并在性能和可靠性方面以高度可信的方式分发其产品。之后，我们希望新建筑的增长将努力实现现有的各种低能耗标准，例如被动式房屋和 R-2000 等。此外，该项目还将开展研究，为节能建筑设计、施工和翻新带来新的知识和方法。此外，预计这项研究将吸引并推动增值建筑围护结构设计的行业创新，其中一家加拿大公司处于产品开发的最前沿。
