The design and quality of the indoor environment is understood to play an important role in the well-being and productivity of building occupants. While many building and design strategies have been employed to enhance the indoor environmental quality of workplace environments there is a surprising a lack of empirical evidence drawn from buildings in-use that […]

Devant la problématique de la gestion des plastiques agricoles, une entreprise canadienne a développé un dispositif biodégradable d’attache des fourrages secs. Cette solution permetrait aux producteurs agricoles de disposer localement, de façon responsable et à faible cout du filet d’enrubannage comparativement aux solutions traditionnelles. Afin d’évaluer la viabilité de la disposition locale et de la […]

Achieving maturity and excellence in project management requires systematic tools that establish well-defined processes and standardized procedures for effective planning and execution. Value Stream Mapping (VSM), a key lean methodology, enables construction organizations to identify inefficiencies, minimize waste, and enhance overall productivity. By providing a visual representation of the entire workflow—from project inception to completion—VSM […]

The proposed research project addresses the transformative potential of CO2 valorization in industrial processes, turning waste emissions into valuable products while advancing economic and environmental goals. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a necessary option, but in a truly circular, net-zero economy, there will be opportunities for CO2 to be used as a resource. We […]

L’aluminium, utilisé dans les secteurs des transports pour ses caractéristiques de légèreté et de robustesse, se trouve souvent sous forme d’extrusions comme les poutres de châssis et de carrosserie. Toutefois, les propriétés des pièces extrudées varient fortement en fonction des conditions de fabrication, telles que la température et la vitesse de déformation, ce qui entraîne […]

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, yet long-term continuous blood pressure monitoring, an accurate technique for prevention and early detection, remains largely unavailable outside of clinical settings. Such measurements presently require invasive, expensive, and impractical instrumentation thus preventing widespread use in non-clinical settings like at home and in research. This project aims […]

The project aims to develop and test thermoelectric technology with residential furnaces to generate power. The solution will generate power from waste heat from furnaces with improved energy efficiency. The testing includes thermal measurements, power measurements, and energy efficiency evaluation and optimization.

Currently, energy audits at Dillon Consulting Limited take 2 to 3 days to generate comprehensive reports, consuming significant auditor time due to the manual process. This inefficiency diverts auditors from critical tasks and introduces inconsistencies, especially in buildings with multiple facilities. It limits Dillon Consulting’s ability to meet increasing demand for energy management practices. There […]

Classification and separation of solid particles immersed within an air stream plays a crucial role in aerosol separation, air filtration, fine particle recovery, and many other applications. Particle separators divide a mixture of different-sized solid particles in a flowing gas stream into fine and coarse streams. IMASCO Minerals produces ultrafine dry ground calcium carbonate (CaCO3) […]

Les codes de correction d’erreurs (ECC) sont utilisés dans la grande majorité des systèmes de transmission et de stockage de données puisqu’ils permettent une importante réduction de la puissance du signal émis (ou stocké), et permettent donc à l’émetteur de consommer moins d’énergie. Malheureusement, les bons codes de correction d’erreurs nécessitent une quantité importante d’énergie […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Catheter-associated infections (CAIs) pose a significant healthcare challenge in Canada and worldwide. CAIs contribute to increased patient morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and a significant burden on the healthcare system. With an aging population and growing antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for innovative infection prevention strategies. This project explores using repellent liquid-infused catheters to […]
