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 […]
Groundbreaking Women in Construction is heading to San Diego from June 8-10, 2025, after a successful expansion to New York City! This is your chance to be part of the construction industryʼs most influential talent management conference—where leadership skills are sharpened, connections are forged, and inspiration is ignited.
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 […]
The BOMA International Conference & Expo is known as the ultimate destination for property professionals—and not just because of the top-quality educational programming and the business solutions found at the Expo. This is your opportunity to step outside your day-to-day and celebrate your industry, discover how best-in-class properties are navigating changes in the market, see […]
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 […]
Extreme heat causes more deaths in the United States than any other natural disaster. Discussions around the role of buildings in heat mitigation and resilience often focus on air-conditioning, and while A/C can be lifesaving, it also increases peak cooling demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste heat released back into the environment. Further, regions with […]
Industry leaders, policymakers, and workforce experts convene to tackle the critical labor shortage facing America’s built environment. This summit explores innovative solutions across policy, education, and industry practices, from the reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) to successful apprenticeship programs and public-private partnerships. Join us to discover actionable strategies for building a […]
