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.
