Agreement Date:
Apr 10, 2024 - Mar 31, 2025
Description:
This study plans to support systematic, knowledge-based support for
decision-makers by offering a standardized approach to tracking and
managing the lifecycle of construction materials, via “digital material
passports”. The ultimate goal of the project is to investigate and establish a
framework for the first construction industry material passport (MP) for
Canada, utilizing digital twin technology. This framework would encompass
the integration of digital twin technology, offering a comprehensive solution
to ensure transparency and efficiency of material data across the
construction industry. The scope of this statement of work for Part 1 of the
project is: (1) a comprehensive literature review and scan of the state-of-theart in materials passports and digital twins (DTs) for construction materials,
and (2) development of the roadmap for the next steps, and (3) design of the
conceptual framework for the proposed MP. It will identify the knowledge
gaps and benefits, and it will establish a compelling business case for the
adoption of construction material passport applications within the Canadian
context.
