Buildings play a significant role in our environmental impact (e.g., 53% of electricity use, 35% of greenhouse gas emissions), comprise of about 15% of our gross domestic product, and represent our living and working environment for about 90% of the time. But despite the high impact of buildings on the environment, society, and the economy, they are frequently operated sub-optimally - despite numerous low or no-cost upgrades and operational modifications. This project will develop and test four innovative approaches to greatly improve building performance on a portfolio of 20 large commercial buildings in Ottawa. The four approaches include: 1) a systematic calibrated energy model development and upgrade analysis; 2) novel data visualization methods to facilitate identification of performance improvements; 3) systematic assessment of building utilization and risk assessment for reducing floor area; and, 4) innovative means to perform preventative maintenance on building mechanical equipment, including text-mining of operator work-orders. Four leading Carleton University researchers with complementary skills will continue collaborating with Canada-based Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions (BGIS) Inc. for a four-year term. BGIS is a market-leader with decades of experience with building management and operations. They have the capacity to integrate the research results and develop them into marketable products. BGIS's contributions to the project included: student training, software, access to data and buildings, engineering services, technical advice/support, and monetary funding. The planned outcomes include innovative workflows, methodologies, and software-based tools and building-specific solutions for the buildings. The developed strategies are expected to reduce energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and associated costs by as much as 30%, while potentially reducing required building floor area. The developed solutions will help the BGIS remain as a leading Canadian and international property management firm and train four PhD students. A parallel project with Ontario Centres of Excellence will support an additional five students, who will be responsible for advancing the research and field work.**********

建筑物在我们的环境影响中发挥着重要作用（例如，53%的电力使用，35%的温室气体排放），包括约15%的国内生产总值，并代表我们的生活和工作环境约90%的时间。但是，尽管建筑物对环境、社会和经济的影响很大，但它们的运营往往不是最佳的--尽管进行了许多低成本或无成本的升级和运营修改。该项目将开发和测试四种创新方法，以大大提高渥太华20座大型商业建筑的建筑性能。这四种方法包括：1）系统的校准能源模型开发和升级分析; 2）新的数据可视化方法，以促进性能改进的识别; 3）建筑物利用率的系统评估和减少建筑面积的风险评估;以及4）对建筑机械设备进行预防性维护的创新手段，包括操作员工作订单的文本挖掘。四位具有互补技能的领先卡尔顿大学研究人员将继续与加拿大布鲁克菲尔德全球集成解决方案（BGIS）公司合作。任期四年BGIS是一家拥有数十年建筑管理和运营经验的市场领导者。他们有能力整合研究成果并将其开发成可销售的产品。BGIS对该项目的贡献包括：学生培训、软件、获取数据和建筑物、工程服务、技术咨询/支持和资金。计划的成果包括创新的工作流程、方法和基于软件的工具以及针对建筑物的特定解决方案。预计制定的战略将减少能源使用，温室气体排放和相关成本高达30%，同时可能减少所需的建筑面积。开发的解决方案将帮助BGIS保持作为加拿大和国际领先的物业管理公司，并培养四名博士生。与安大略卓越中心的平行项目将支持另外五名学生，他们将负责推进研究和实地工作。
