Simon Fraser University

Purpose

The project will involve a collaboration led by Clean Energy Canada at Simon Fraser University, working with industry partners to better understand the cost implications of using low-carbon construction materials in common infrastructure and residential and commercial building types across Canada. The costing analysis will include new case studies representing a variety of horizontal infrastructure assets such as waste and water systems, roads, and transit infrastructure, across three Canadian regions: Western Canada, the Prairies, and Central Canada. The research will also provide additional case studies for commercial construction, including multi-unit residential buildings as well as low-rise residential and commercial buildings in different regions of the country.
