The conservation, rehabilitation, and sustainability of existing structures and designated historic buildings is a crucially important issue, both in Canada and worldwide. However, heritage buildings are not the only issue. Even the most energy-efficient new building cannot offset its embodied energy for many years. Rehabilitating these existing structures will contribute to the reduction of the carbon footprint and may help mitigate the acceleration of climate change. Manpower is needed to effect these changes. In Canada's "Economic Action Plan 2012" an additional $150 million in infrastructure funding was earmarked to support the rehabilitation and improvement of existing community facilities. However, in order to develop and deploy advanced technologies, materials, and methods for the assessment, conservation, rehabilitation, sustainability of existing structures and designated historic buildings, there is a pressing and critical need for interdisciplinary training among engineers and architects. This is the core objective of this CREATE program. Our CREATEHERITAGEENGINEERING, an Industrial Stream CREATE application, directly responds to the deficiencies existing in the current training environment that must be corrected in order to produce the workforce capable of addressing the issues outlined above. Specifically, this program will bridge the gap existing between "technology developers" (engineers/architects/scientists) and "technology users" (heritage conservation professionals), where technology broadly refers to a wide range of imaging, monitoring and retrofitting devices, modelling software and multi-media data management, and new materials.As evidenced by over 20 letters of support, there is unequivocal support for a program that will produce this altogether new type of trainee. This proposal, and its elements, is a result of thorough consultation with these national and international organizations.

现有建筑和指定历史建筑的保护，修复和可持续性是加拿大和世界各地的一个至关重要的问题。然而，文物建筑并不是唯一的问题。即使是最节能的新建筑也无法在许多年内抵消其隐含的能量。重建这些现有结构将有助于减少碳足迹，并可能有助于减缓气候变化的加速。需要人力来实现这些变化。在加拿大的“2012年经济行动计划”中，额外拨出1.5亿加元的基础设施资金，专门用于支持现有社区设施的修复和改善。然而，为了开发和部署先进的技术，材料和方法，用于评估，保护，修复，现有结构和指定历史建筑的可持续性，迫切需要工程师和建筑师之间的跨学科培训。这是该项目的核心目标。我们的CREATEHERITAGEENGINEERING是一个工业流CREATE应用程序，它直接回应了当前培训环境中存在的缺陷，这些缺陷必须得到纠正，以培养能够解决上述问题的劳动力。具体来说，这一计划将弥合“技术开发者”之间存在的差距（工程师/建筑师/科学家）和“技术用户”（文物保育专业人士），其中科技广泛指一系列影像、监察及改装设备、模型软件及多媒体数据管理，以及新材料。逾20封支持信证明，对于一项将培养这种全新类型的受训者的计划，人们给予了明确的支持。该提案及其内容是与这些国家和国际组织进行充分协商的结果。
