Transformation from conventional to industrialized construction.$330Kvalue2024start2026end

Compared with conventional construction, industrialized/off-site construction reduces material waste, cuts delivery times and improves quality and productivity. However, despite its contribution to decarbonization, several challenges have hindered its growth in the market. A 2017 study examined 5 key issues: negative stigma, lack of large-scale cases, regulatory barriers and competitive disadvantages related to financing and supply. To meet national commitments to reduce emissions, an in-depth study of industrialized/off-site construction and its stakeholders is proposed to re-examine the barr

Occupant-centred optimization for building operations$308Kvalue2026start2029end

Climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme heat events are placing unprecedented stress on large-scale infrastructure and commercial buildings. Rising electricity demand during peak periods threatens the reliability of essential services and constrains the transition toward electrified heating systems and vehicle fleets. At the same time, expanding grid capacity is limited by resource constraints. This research addresses these challenges by reducing operational energy use and mitigating peak demand through the integration of alternative energy sources. The project pursues four key

AI-Enhanced Quantum Computing Algorithms and Simulations Based on Entanglement for Advanced Quantum Defense Science and Technology Applications$264Kvalue2024start2026end

In quantum mechanical momentum theory, Clebsch-Gordan (CG) transforms coefficients can measure the degree of momentum entanglement in molecules. The complexity of the degree of entanglement generated by molecular orbital interaction needs to be elucidated in order to develop efficient quantum algorithms based on quantum mechanics, particularly under Coulomb and external fields. The potential of solid harmonic Gaussian orbitals (SHGOs), which are eigenfunctions of the angular momentum operator, has been largely underestimated for this purpose. Using SHGOs, Concordia University (CU) aims to deve
