This research has two goals to a) increase our understanding of the quantity of construction materials and embodied GHG used, in current practice, to create new housing in the City of Toronto and b) to identify opportunities to use changes in building and neighbourhood form to create more housing with less total embodied GHG. The […]

This study will analyse Calgary Transit’s bus operations on The City’s road network. Intersections and road segments will be categorized based on Level of Service (LOS) based performance indicators such as bus travel time and schedule adherence. The outcomes of the analysis will indicate whether a particular intersection needs transit signal priority (TSP) to improve […]

The presence of chlorine-bearing compounds in sewer headspaces is a potential risk to personnel and can cause decay of valuable infrastructure through increased rates of corrosion. There is however little information available on their speciation and concentration in these systems as standard methods for sampling them from sewer headspaces do not exist. In addition, the […]

Corrosion of the reinforcing steel is an extensive problem that reduces the service life of the structure and results in costly repairs and safety hazards. As a result, such deteriorated concrete structures must be replaced or extensively repaired, rehabilitated or strengthened. As a result, engineers worldwide are continuously seeking durable materials and robust systems to […]

As Ontario’s electricity grid continues to evolve, all technologies must be evaluated on a life cycle basis. This will ensure that potential environmental impacts and economic costs are understood in advance of installation, and will permit fair and comprehensive comparisons amongst alternatives. This project seeks to investigate the life cycle environmental and cost performance of […]

Wind and solar sources are important in the generation and supply of energy in a clean and renewable way. The potential for renewable energy generation in Canada is well-known and is projected to be a leading industry over the next years by power generation companies like TransAlta Corporation. The purpose of this project is to […]

Today, the world faces climate change, uncoordinated depletion of natural resources and rapid urbanization. Buildings in cities account for about 25% of the global energy consumption and 15% of the energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Likewise, in the province of Québec, buildings are responsible for a large share of the total energy use. A recent study […]

The Distribution of Renewable Energy in Canada program is going to open up more the opportunity for greater access to renewable products. The intern for this program is going to be exposed to a rapidly growing industry and giving them a prosperous career path. As a newer company without this funding we have a lack […]

La violence conjugale est une problématique sociale et un problème de santé public important au Québec et ailleurs dans le monde. Afin de mieux répondre aux demandes d’aide en augmentation sur son territoire, le service de police de la MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais a développé le projet d’intervention spécialisée MAINtenant ensemble en 2021 et elle souhaite […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à effectuer une analyse rétrospective (statistique) de la qualité de l’eau brute à l’usine de traitement d’eau potable secteur Québec Ville de Québec à l’aide de données historiques sur la qualité de l’eau de source et des événements pluviométriques. De plus, il est envisagé d’utiliser des outils de modélisation à […]

Rapid growth in the renewable energy sector has presented both unprecedented opportunity and increasing pressure to keep pace with rapidly growing demand. This project with Gott Energy will involve three stages. First, a comprehensive analysis of the company today will be completed using the Lean business philosophy. This will establish a baseline, which will support […]
