The vision guiding this research program is the effective and efficient digitalization of built asset lifecycles to enable a sustainable, productive, and resilient built asset industry and environment. The long-term objective is to define, develop and operationalize a digital threading framework to enable circularity in the built asset industry. The research program's short-term objectives are aimed at: (1) defining the strategies, principles, and applications of the circular economy in the built asset industry, and (2) operationalizing the acquisition, processing, management and integration of asset lifecycle data and information (aka. digital threading) to support circularity though digitalization. The research program is articulated in response to the climate emergency and the increasing pressure that the built asset industry is putting on our natural environment. As one of the sectors that consumes the most natural sources while generating significant volumes of waste, the built environment is in dire need of renewed policies, practices, and technologies that will facilitate its transition towards the circular economy. Circularity in the built asset industry is indeed receiving significant attention as it shows promise in countering increased resource consumption and waste generation. One of the biggest challenges hindering circularity in the built environment, however, is accessing reliable data and information in an efficient manner to support decision-making across a built asset's lifecycle. Indeed, the data and information needed to support circularity comes from multiple, heterogeneous sources and must be acquired, processed, managed and integrated in a reliable and efficient manner. Weaving the digital thread is the key that could unlock circularity in the built asset industry in a meaningful and practical manner. The research program will be delivered through close collaboration with governmental and industry practitioners and through specialized networks across Canada and internationally. The expected outcomes of the program are: (1) clearly defined strategies, use cases and outcomes enabling the application of the principals and practices defining the circular economy, and (2) a digital threading framework underlying a digital ecosystem instantiating the knowledge and methodological solutions developed that allow the intuitive and streamlined management and processing of integrated lifecycle data and information flows in the built asset industry to support circularity. This program will contribute to the field of natural sciences and engineering by developing new knowledge and artefacts that enable the acquisition, processing, management and integration of lifecycle project and asset data and information to support circularity in the built asset industry. Establishing this foundation for digitalization is key in ensuring the competitiveness, resiliency, and sustainability of Canada's built asset industry and its built environment.

指导这项研究计划的愿景是有效和高效地实现建筑资产生命周期的数字化，以实现可持续，高效和有弹性的建筑资产行业和环境。长期目标是定义，开发和实施数字线程框架，以实现建筑资产行业的循环。该研究计划的短期目标是：（1）定义循环经济在建筑资产行业的战略，原则和应用，以及（2）实现资产生命周期数据和信息的获取，处理，管理和集成。数字穿线）以通过数字化来支持循环。该研究计划旨在应对气候紧急情况以及建筑资产行业对自然环境造成的日益增加的压力。作为消耗最多自然资源同时产生大量废物的部门之一，建筑环境迫切需要更新政策，实践和技术，以促进其向循环经济过渡。建筑资产行业的循环性确实受到了极大的关注，因为它在应对增加的资源消耗和废物产生方面显示出了希望。然而，阻碍建筑环境中循环的最大挑战之一是以有效的方式访问可靠的数据和信息，以支持建筑资产生命周期中的决策。事实上，支持循环所需的数据和信息来自多个不同的来源，必须以可靠和有效的方式获取、处理、管理和整合。编织数字线是以有意义和实用的方式解锁建筑资产行业循环的关键。该研究计划将通过与政府和行业从业人员的密切合作，并通过加拿大和国际上的专业网络提供。该方案的预期成果是：（1）明确定义的战略、用例和成果，使定义循环经济的原则和实践得以应用，以及（2）数字化线程框架，作为数字生态系统的基础，实例化所开发的知识和方法解决方案，允许直观和简化地管理和处理已建资产中的集成生命周期数据和信息流产业支持循环经济。该计划将通过开发新的知识和人工制品，为自然科学和工程领域做出贡献，这些知识和人工制品能够获取，处理，管理和整合生命周期项目和资产数据和信息，以支持建筑资产行业的循环。为数字化奠定基础是确保加拿大建筑资产行业及其建筑环境的竞争力、弹性和可持续性的关键。
