The Science and Parliamentary Precinct Branch (SPIB) oversees a diverse range of assets at various scales, including individual spaces, entire buildings, laboratories, and campuses. This encompasses both standard office environments and specialized facilities, all of which should be taken into account when addressing this RFI. SPIB is responsible for 35 crown-owned buildings, of which 28 are designated heritage properties which primarily form the Parliamentary Precinct. In addition to the Parliamentary assets, SPIB is also responsible for a number of specialty science based laboratory assets for Laboratories Canada. The portfolio’s current state consists of a mixture of old and obsolete building systems as well as newly installed building systems, such as; Building Automation Systems (BAS), lighting control systems, elevator systems, power and water metering, etc. Currently each asset and team operate in silos as stand-alone components with disparate systems and subsystems. This leads to deep inefficiency and ample opportunity for miscommunication and risk. A technological solution that can help incorporate the many groups and workflows required to plan, operate, deliver, and maintain assets is needed.
