PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET:

The Smart Sustainable Resilient Infrastructure Association (SSRIA) is a not-for-profit member based association. We are working to accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies and products that can reduce GHG emissions in buildings. We will achieve this by providing support and growth opportunities in the form of demonstration project funding, business growth services, and the latest expertise in innovative low carbon building technologies, products, and practices. We also recognize the need both upskill and diversify the workforce in the architecture, engineering and construction industry to drive the transition to a zero carbon built environment.

This project is directly related to the demonstration construction projects that we are funding and the wealth of data and information that will result from those projects. In order to initiate a transition to a low/zero carbon built environment, architects, engineers, contractors, and building owners/operators need access to this data and information so they can learn about viable and validated solutions that they can apply in their own work.

This is a multi-faceted project that will result in a "resource hub" that will allow validated data and results of the demonstrated low-carbon innovative solutions to be accessed and shared. The data and information to be shared will be both quantitative and qualitative. The proposed project would involve inventorying and categorizing all the data and information to be shared, envisioning and creating a framework/organisational structure for storing the data, and identify any technical needs to implement the framework. The project type is listed as Education as it will be important to understand how people use and learn from data but would also benefit from some marketing or web design skills (organising and displaying information in a user friendly manner.

KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES/TÂCHES ASSOCIÉES AU PROJET:

• Research examples of similar resource hubs/data sets and best practices for organizing and displaying data and reports
• Inventory data types expected and interview project teams to better understand data and information to be shared if necessary
• Create data type categories, and information themes,
• Draft the organizational structure including meta tags if deemed applicable
• Research and identify additional technical needs (search or other web based plug-ins)
• Develop a report summarizing project activities so that it can seamlessly be implemented

IDEAL ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES/RÔLES/RESPONSABILITÉS:*

• Market research
• Data analysis

FINAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES/LIVRABLES DU PROJET:

• Excel database that includes data inventory, categories and themes, meta tags
• Final report including summary of all project activities and draft structure for "resource hub"
