A PhD student from the University of Toronto, part of a group of building design researchers (along with research supervisors Dr. Marianne Touchie and Dr. Liam O’Brien) from the University of Toronto/Carleton University are conducting a survey study to understand how extensive disruptive events in Canada (such as power outages, equipment failures, wildfires or extreme heat events where heating/cooling/ ventilation systems are not working for more than 24 hours) impact occupant behavior and health.
The research team are looking for survey participants who have experienced a disruptive event who have experienced these types of events. The survey is anonymous and would provide valuable insights to inform better and safer building designs in the future.
Residents interested in participating can share their experience using the link to the survey: https://forms.office.com/r/C0nVruPeyf
