The pursuit of increased efficiency has motivated engineers to devise new or to improve existing processes**through innovations in methods, technologies, and managerial approaches. In this respect, the search for new**efficiencies in the field of building construction has led to the emergence of modularization, which in turn has**catalyzed the expansion of off-site construction. In this context, the Industrial Research Chair (IRC) in the**Industrialization of Building Construction contributes broadly to the research base, fundamental engineering,**and scientific knowledge that will sustain the current trajectory toward the industrialization of building**construction. Having been established in 2011, the Industrial Research Chair is seeking renewal for a second**term, during which the following proposed objectives will be pursued: (1) improved productivity of factory**operations through innovative manufacturing technologies; (2) optimization of design to minimize construction**waste and optimize material usage; (3) development of manufacturing-centric building information modelling**(BIM) to improve design automation, drafting, quantity takeoff, and minimize process waste; (4) occupational**and occupant-centric ergonomic application in modular construction; and (5) enhancement of sustainability**capitalizing on modular and offsite construction. The underlying motivation for the proposed research in the**second term of the Chair is to move industry practice meaningfully toward true industrialization of the**construction process. Existing technologies and manufacturing techniques will be further improved, bringing**environmental, public and occupational health, economic, and social benefits to Canada. The focus on machine**development and manufacturing will be a crucial component of delivering a made-in-Canada solution to the**inherent deficiencies of conventional construction practice in North America. The research objectives will**ensure focused research yielding tangible results of practical benefit to the industry partners and to Canada. The**proposed program will also enable the University to play a leadership role in innovation, training, as well as in**occupational safety and environmental protection.

对提高效率的追求促使工程师们通过方法、技术和管理方法的创新来设计新的或改进现有的过程。在这方面，在建筑施工领域寻求新的效率导致出现模块化，这反过来又促进了场外施工的扩大。在这种情况下，工业研究主席（IRC）在 ** 建筑工业化的贡献广泛的研究基础，基础工程，** 和科学知识，将维持目前的轨道走向建筑工业化 ** 建设。自2011年设立以来，工业研究主席正在寻求第二个任期的延续，在此期间将追求以下拟议目标：（1）通过创新制造技术提高工厂 ** 运营的生产力;（2）优化设计，以最大限度地减少建筑 ** 浪费并优化材料使用;（3）开发以制造业为中心的建筑信息模型 **（BIM），以提高设计自动化、绘图、数量计算，并最大限度地减少工艺浪费;（4）在模块化建筑中应用职业 ** 和以居住者为中心的人体工程学;及（5）加强可持续性 ** 利用模块化及场外建造。在主席的第二个任期内进行拟议研究的根本动机是将行业实践有意义地推向真正的建筑过程工业化。现有技术和制造技术将进一步改进，为加拿大带来 ** 环境、公共和职业健康、经济和社会效益。专注于机器开发和制造将是为北美传统建筑实践的固有缺陷提供加拿大制造解决方案的关键组成部分。研究目标将 ** 确保重点突出的研究产生切实的成果，使工业伙伴和加拿大受益。拟议的计划还将使大学在创新，培训以及职业安全和环境保护方面发挥领导作用。
