Bachelor of Building Science Client Projects

Posted on Friday, April 22nd, 2016

Competition Number: BSC-2016F

Project Start Date: September 2016
Project End Date: April 2017

Are you interested in working with Bachelor of Building Science student teams? The Bachelor of Building Science program invites industry partners to participate in our experiential (work-integrated) learning as part of a college curriculum. Our program is hosting in-class client projects with the Office of Applied Research & Innovation (ARI) over a two semester period during the fall and winter semesters. Working individually or in small teams, students engage in a research project that contributes to the body of knowledge in applied building science. Students focus on the choice of topic, the design of the project, the development of the project proposal, and preliminary research and testing.

Students will need to make use of all the fundamentals, tools and engineering principles learned throughout the program. More specialized needs in knowledge/equipment and tools will be defined next term. Below is a list of project proposals, we hope for industry to mold and shape the focus of the projects to steer towards a final outcome that is of their interest. General feedback on the progress would also be expected throughout the process. In some cases, in kind donation of material/testing equipment may be required.

  • Post Occupancy Energy Performance of a Single-Family Passive House and a MURB Passive Building
  • Reducing thermal bridging at cantilever and canopies with the use of emerging technologies
  • Thermal performance of wool insulation made with recycled plastic and Styrofoam
  • Impact of dynamic windows and window films in the hydrothermal performance of the building envelope
  • Examination of the most important durability considerations impacting precast concrete cladding performance
  • Sensitivity Analysis of the Multi-criteria used for Optimizing the Renovation of Buildings, an Energy Perspective

We invite you to review the skills that Bachelor of Building Science students are developing from their course descriptions here: Building Science Program Details <https://www.algonquincollege.com/acce/program/bachelor-of-building-science/>
