The operation, construction, and renovation of building infrastructure accounts for a significant portion of Canada's energy use and GHG emissions and the quality of building indoor environments substantially impacts human quality of life in terms of health, comfort, and productivity. Building infrastructure is not only technically complex, but is also integrated with complex political, social, and economic systems. While there are many established best practices for the design, construction, and operation of buildings, failure to integrate these practices into our built environment is common. As a result, the full performance improvements offered by these practices are not realized and the extent to which specific poor practices are present in our building stocks and the impacts on performance metrics (e.g., energy use) are not well understood. To improve building stock performance, a foundational understanding of the typical operation, performance, and technical shortcomings of regional building stocks is needed. Further, to encourage the adoption of best practices in building design, construction, and operation, interdisciplinary research that focuses on the ways interactions between political, social, economic, and technical systems influence building design, construction, and operations outcomes is needed. The proposed research uses a uses a novel methodology which combines data-driven methods with qualitative, participatory methods to elicit the underlying causes of roadblocks to achieving healthy, sustainable, and resilient communities and develop new approaches to eliminate or mitigate these barriers through policy, process, and technical interventions related to buildings infrastructure. This research will examine residential, commercial, and institutional regional building stocks in urban areas and remote, northern and indigenous communities in Canada and has four objectives: 1.Develop tools and methods for regional-scale building performance data collection; 2.Characterize building stock operation and identify common technical shortcomings in building design, construction, and operation on a regional scale; 3.Identify existing leverage points in political, social, and economic systems that can be used to improve technical performance; and 4.Recommend interventions to address key limitations and improve performance. This research will develop new methods and tools to collect building operation data and diagnose shortcomings on a regional scale. Using these tools, this research program characterizes the performance and technical shortcomings of our building stock and identify key areas for improvement. Further, through systemic analysis, this research will identify the techno-socio-economic leverage points which can be targeted by new policies and programs to effectively improve building performance in an equitable manner, reducing the likelihood of policy-implementation gaps or creation of undue burden on vulnerable populations.

建筑基础设施的运营、建设和翻新占加拿大能源使用和温室气体排放的很大一部分，建筑室内环境的质量在健康、舒适和生产力方面对人类生活质量产生重大影响。基础设施建设不仅技术复杂，而且与复杂的政治、社会和经济体系相结合。虽然在建筑物的设计、施工和运营方面有许多既定的最佳实践，但未能将这些实践融入我们的建筑环境中是很常见的。因此，这些做法提供的全面性能改进没有实现，我们的建筑库存中存在的具体不良做法的程度以及对性能指标的影响（例如，能源使用）并没有得到很好的理解。为了提高建筑股票的性能，需要对区域建筑股票的典型操作、性能和技术缺点有基本的了解。此外，为了鼓励在建筑设计，施工和运营中采用最佳实践，需要进行跨学科研究，重点关注政治，社会，经济和技术系统之间的相互作用如何影响建筑设计，施工和运营结果。拟议的研究使用了一种新的方法，将数据驱动的方法与定性的参与性方法相结合，以引出实现健康，可持续和弹性社区的障碍的根本原因，并通过与建筑基础设施相关的政策，流程和技术干预来消除或减轻这些障碍。本研究将调查加拿大城市地区和偏远地区、北方和土著社区的住宅、商业和机构区域建筑存量，并有四个目标：1.开发区域范围建筑性能数据收集的工具和方法; 2.描述建筑存量运行的特征，并确定区域范围内建筑设计、施工和运行中的常见技术缺陷; 3.确定政治、社会和经济系统中现有的杠杆点，可用于提高技术性能; 4.建议干预措施，以解决关键限制并提高性能。这项研究将开发新的方法和工具来收集建筑运营数据，并在区域范围内诊断缺陷。使用这些工具，这项研究计划的特点，我们的建筑股票的性能和技术缺陷，并确定改进的关键领域。此外，通过系统分析，本研究将确定新政策和计划可以针对的技术-社会-经济杠杆点，以公平的方式有效提高建筑性能，减少政策执行差距或对弱势群体造成不必要负担的可能性。
