Most existing buildings operating a natural gas–based heating system can be paired with an electric heat pump and controlled using the dual-fuel switching (DFS) platform. In this basic scenario, the DFS can select the energy source to minimize energy costs by considering the temperature dependent efficiency of the heat-pump and time-of-use price of electricity. When compared to its pre-retrofit condition (i.e., 100% natural gas) the DFS system operates with lower operational cost and emissions annually.
The Project will use NRC test facilities to obtain experimental data in a lab setting to further advance the capabilities of the DFS platform while demonstrating its efficacy in mitigating grid demand and fuel costs.

The project will enhance the awareness and knowledge of housing rights and legal options for low-to-moderate income tenants across Canada. Public legal education workshops will be offered across five cities in four provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick) to help tenants understand the housing issues they are facing. Legal education resources will also be updated to reflect any recent legal changes.

This project will support victims and potential victims of extortion in British Columbia lower mainland, particularly in Abbotsford and Surrey within the South Asian community. It will provide four additional victim service and community outreach workers to assist the BC Extortion Task Force and local police. The project also includes developing and translating public resources (webpages, safety planning tools) to improve cultural relevance and accessibility. The goal is to increase victim support capacity and enhance resources over a 16-month period.

This project is for a regional gathering of the Yukon Indigenous Justice Programs focused on trauma-informed practice and self-care.

This project will integrate a new Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) module into LYNKED’s IoT Cloud Platform.

Identify and validate the fastest-to-buy enterprise customer segment while building technical proof-of-concept capabilities to demonstrate solution value and accelerate deal closure.

Comprehensive analysis and discovery of the cybersecurity opportunities for a distributed data fragmentation and management software solution for ransomware resiliency (data exfiltration) and operational recovery.

Project MASCOT is developing an energy-efficient multi-wavelength laser source to enable next-generation Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), addressing the critical power consumption and connectivity demands of AI data centres.

VizworX will expand its Virtual Operations Environment (VOE) into a next-generation immersive platform for defence, emergency response, aerospace, and industrial operations. Building on an established defence roadmap, the project will integrate real-time geospatial data, TAK feeds, AI-based video analytics, digital twins and interactive 3D environments to create a secure, deployable collaborative control room for planning, coordination, and operational decision-making. IRAP support will accelerate development, hiring, and field deployment with Canadian and allied partners

The Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP) aims to enable Canadian universities to foster research excellence and to enhance their role in the global, knowledge-based economy as world-class centres of research excellence; to provide targeted resources to help attract and retain a cadre of world class researchers to reinforce academic research excellence in Canadian universities; and to support internationally competitive research and research capacity that generates social, economic and cultural benefits for Canada.
