This project analyzes the energy consumption of multi-residential buildings to determine the causes of discrepancies in energy bills of buildings with similar typologies and ages. For this purpose, different indicators such as technical and physical factors (HVAC systems efficiency, building envelope U-Values, and window-to-wall ratio), human-influenced factors (occupant behavior), and social factors (occupant’s energy-saving efforts, […]

La gestion de la demande de puissance électrique (GDP) est un outil émergent pour les opérateurs de réseaux électriques. À l’heure actuelle, au Québec sous la bannière d’Hilo, on l’utilise principalement pour diminuer la pression sur le réseau lors des périodes de grande consommation comme les pointes hivernales. Dans ce projet, on cherche à développer […]

Coatings are widely applied to cutting tools with the benefit of extending tool life, improving cutting efficiency and part quality. Vacuum arc evaporation has been used for the deposition of the coating materials on the cutting tools. This project will investigate the vacuum arc evaporation process in order to improve the coating efficiency and the […]

Canadian energy systems lack an industry specific set of standards to support the development of policy options and plans for clean energy transition and decarbonization of electric power systems. These include inter-organization standards for data, information, insights and metrics on electricity regulatory systems, utility operational capabilities, technology architecture and human resources. The objective of this […]

À l’Institut National de Psychiatrie Légale Philippe Pinel (INPLPP), nos partenaires et leurs collaborateurs ont mis au point un examen pour évaluer le risque de récidive de sujets ayant commis un crime sexuel. Cet examen consiste à immerger le sujet dans un environnement virtuel impliquant des stimuli sexuels humains tridimensionnels et à enregistrer trois types […]

This project involves the developments of novel mm-Wave power amplification structures to achieve significant improvements in energy efficiency for next-generation wireless networks.

The availability and accuracy of GPS in some environments, such as indoors, is limited. Positioning utilizing radio frequency (RF) signals intended for communication, broadcasting, or networking is an attractive alternative or complement to GPS in such environments. The proposed research will develop novel methods to use RF signals of opportunity (SoO), such as WiFi signals […]

Le retrait est un phénomène de contraction volumétrique des matériaux cimentaires lors de leur prise et durcissement. Il est dû à l’évaporation de l’eau du béton. Ce phénomène n’est pas sans impact sur la fonctionnalité et la durabilité des ouvrages. Car il se caractérise le plus souvent par des fissures qui nuisent aux aspects esthétiques […]

AltaML is an innovative company capitalizing on a major technological trend: artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, enabled by big data, are driving a fourth industrial revolution. AI will transform all industries, but traditional industries face challenges in implementing AI. AltaML has a unique business model to overcome barriers to adoption of AI solutions by industry, which […]
