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设计新的或改进现有的工艺 通过方法、技术和管理方法的创新。在这方面，寻求新的 建筑施工领域的效率导致了模块化的出现，这反过来又 促进了场外建筑的扩张在这方面，工业研究主席（IRC）在 建筑施工产业化在建筑施工的研究基础、基础工程、 和科学知识，这将维持目前的轨道走向工业化的建筑 建设自2011年成立以来，工业研究主席正在寻求第二次更新 在这一任期内，将努力实现以下拟议目标：（1）提高工厂的生产力 通过创新的制造技术进行操作;（2）优化设计，以最大限度地减少施工 浪费和优化材料使用;（3）开发以制造业为中心的建筑信息模型 (BIM)提高设计自动化、绘图、取数，最大限度地减少工艺浪费;（4）职业 及以使用者为中心的人体工程学应用于组合式建筑;及（5）加强可持续性 利用模块化和异地建设。本研究的潜在动机是： 主席的第二个任期是推动行业实践有意义地走向真正的工业化， 施工过程现有技术和制造工艺将进一步改进， 环境、公共和职业健康、经济和社会福利。专注于机器 开发和制造将是向加拿大提供加拿大制造解决方案的关键组成部分。 北美传统建筑实践的固有缺陷。研究目标将 确保重点研究产生切实的成果，对行业合作伙伴和加拿大都有实际好处。的 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。
