Building on its demonstrated world-class research and technology development strengths in the built environment, clean energy, electrical and information technologies, Concordia aims to be the leading university in Canada in addressing the challenges to achieving decarbonized resilient communities through a transformative and integrated approach based on technological and social innovation with electrification as a key element. Examples of related achievements of Concordia that position it as a world-leading institution include leadership of two consecutive award-winning NSERC strategic research networks in smart net-zero energy buildings and related international IEA initiatives, co-leadership of a national cybersecurity network, highly-cited ground-breaking research on climate change modelling, and novel work on electrical machines and energy storage. In addition, Concordia has attracted many prestigious NSERC Industrial Research Chairs related to clean energy and a Canada Excellence Research Chair in Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Communities and Cities. A key challenge that will be addressed in the research program is the urgent need to accelerate and optimize the transition to decarbonized resilient communities - entailing design and integration of new technologies for smart carbon-neutral buildings, smart grids, energy storage, energy management, integration of distributed renewable energy resources, and electrification of transportation, while emphasizing innovation, affordability, equity, and well-being of society with consideration of the specific needs of Indigenous communities. The proposed research program, which has attracted about 140 top researchers from Concordia, and major partners such as CanmetENERGY, NRC and Hydro-Québec is built around three themes:Theme 1: Smart, sustainable and healthy built environment; Theme 2: Resilient community energy and transportation systems based on renewables; Theme 3: Planning and governance for social equity and citizen engagement. There are also three platforms that connect across the three themes: A. Electrification, B. Digitalization and IoT, C. Living Lab and knowledge mobilization. The Concordia campus will be used as a Living Lab for testing and demonstration of the cutting-edge clean energy technologies and smart building systems. Partners will have access to the Living Lab for collaborative projects with the research team, facilitating further innovation and commercialization.

康考迪亚大学在建筑环境、清洁能源、电气和信息技术方面拥有世界一流的研究和技术开发优势，其目标是成为加拿大领先的大学，通过以电气化为关键要素的技术和社会创新为基础的变革性和综合性方法，解决实现脱碳弹性社区的挑战。康科迪亚的相关成就使其成为世界领先的机构，包括领导连续两次获奖的NSERC智能零能耗建筑战略研究网络和相关的国际能源署倡议，共同领导国家网络安全网络，在气候变化建模方面的开创性研究，以及在电机和能源存储方面的新工作。此外，康科迪亚还吸引了许多与清洁能源相关的着名NSERC工业研究主席和加拿大智能，可持续和弹性社区和城市卓越研究主席。该研究项目将解决的一个关键挑战是，迫切需要加速和优化向脱碳弹性社区的过渡——涉及智能碳中和建筑、智能电网、能源存储、能源管理、分布式可再生能源整合和交通电气化等新技术的设计和整合，同时强调创新、可负担性、公平性和可持续性。和社会福祉，同时考虑到土著社区的具体需要。拟议中的研究项目吸引了来自康科迪亚的约140名顶尖研究人员，以及CanmetENERGY、NRC和hydro - qusamube等主要合作伙伴，该项目围绕三个主题展开：主题1：智能、可持续和健康的建筑环境；主题2：基于可再生能源的弹性社区能源和交通系统；主题3：规划和治理促进社会公平和公民参与。还有三个平台连接三个主题：A.电气化，B.数字化和物联网，C.生活实验室和知识动员。康科迪亚校园将被用作一个生活实验室，用于测试和演示尖端的清洁能源技术和智能建筑系统。合作伙伴将可以进入Living Lab与研究团队进行合作项目，促进进一步的创新和商业化。
