Only 7% of U.S. students and jobseekers actively seek work in the construction industry, according to a new study conducted by Dodge Construction Network. Despite this, the study also reveals there are several opportunities to increase that share. Join Donna Laquidara-Carr, Industry Insights Research Director with Dodge, as she discusses key findings from the study […]
In the evolving landscape of building management, transitioning from traditional systems of record to systems of insight has become crucial for sustained operational effectiveness and resilience. This session explores the innovative application of digital twin technology from the owner’s and operator’s perspectives, underscoring its pivotal role in advancing sustainability and energy conservation within building operations. […]
Many building owners are starting their transition to digital twins. There are a plethora of use cases for a digital twin, but having standardized, accurate digital models as your foundation is key to being successful. It sometimes can be challenging to know what to ask for in a model and know that you are getting […]
Building Innovation attendees come to explore challenges, possibilities, the latest tools, groundbreaking strategies, and more.
While building physics largely are based on Newtonian principles, physics outside of the built environment have been moving toward quantum mechanics. This presentation will start to see environmental factors through the lens of quantum mechanics. It also will include future bioclimatic elements and how the above may inform facade design. Learning Objectives Learn how quantum […]
Dive into the transformative world of Singularity, where artificial intelligence, spatial computing, and digital twins converge to redefine how we design, interact with, and understand the built environment. This session explores the groundbreaking technologies driving this evolution, including real-time data integration, immersive visualization, and predictive modeling, powered by AI. Discover how spatial computing is reshaping […]
As the pioneer of BIM-based Digital Twin development, we’ve worked with the leading facility owners and builders, and the biggest challenges were related to creating BIMs for existing facilities, ensuring that new construction delivers BIMs that are of the appropriate quality, and making the created Digital Twins useful considering existing workforce isn’t used to new […]
This presentation will provide a case study on how the Metropolitan Transportation Authority – NY (henceforth MTA) approaches and implements BIM and Digital Twins, including valuable insights, lessons learned, and best practices. It will also examine the software stack on which MTA has standardized for BIM and Digital Twins, and describe data management practices employed […]
This one-hour course will cover electronic leak detection (ELD) testing methods used for quality assurance of roofing and waterproofing membranes. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify which assemblies are compatible with electronic testing and active monitoring. Learning […]
In this session, we will cover the lessons learned from multiple case studies regarding electronic leak detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks, and continuous moisture monitoring for conventional roofing. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and […]
Given the increasing frequency and severity of natural hazards and the dire predictions of climate scientists, it is imperative to redouble efforts to mitigate climate change and adapt to reduce the catastrophic risks of a worsening climate and sea level rise. Likewise, it is important to proactively address natural hazards caused by geological processes, such […]
In 2023 and 2024 a two-part workshop on Resilience of Naval Waterfront Facilities in a Changing Climate was held, co-sponsored by the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAV-EXWC) and the Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute (COPRI) of ASCE. Part I of the workshop focused on developing non-stationary extreme wind speeds, sea level rise, and […]
