REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT OF WOOD BUILDINGS THROUGH PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN (PBD)

  • Location

Wood and Forest Sciences, Université Laval 

  • Missions

The project will focus specifically on off-site or prefabricated wood buildings, including prefabricated mass timber structures. The main objective is to develop modern performance-based design tools that integrate carbon footprint assessment into the building design and construction processes. The project aims to identify critical values and establish relevant methodologies to effectively measure environmental impacts. 

The ultimate goal is to propose performance criteria applicable to all types of buildings, ensuring that sustainability considerations are integrated into design and construction practices. 

  • Skills

Master's degree (or equivalent) in construction engineering, wood engineering, industrial engineering, environmental engineering, building engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture or any other discipline relevant to the construction field.
