Whole-Building Performance

拟议研究计划的目标是推进可持续建筑设计， 高性能（节能、健康、舒适和耐用），同时 环保及具成本效益的建筑物。创新性研究， 将新材料、设计概念和技术融入可持续建筑， 建筑围护结构和整个建筑物的水平是该方案的重点。该研究计划是 基于建筑物理学，不仅包括新的建筑设计， 与改造现有建筑有关。该研究计划的目的是减少 建筑物对环境的影响，增加经济机会， 加拿大人的健康福利。

The goal of the proposed research program is to advance sustainable building design that yields high performing (energy efficient, healthy, comfortable and durable), and at the same time environmentally friendly and cost-effective buildings. Innovative research on the impact of integrating new materials, design concepts and technologies in sustainable building at the building envelope and whole-building levels are the foci of the program. The research program is based on building physics and encompasses not only new building designs but also issues related to the retrofitting existing buildings. The research program aim is to reduce the environmental impacts of buildings and to increase economic opportunities, and social and health benefits for Canadians.
