Following Purcell's presentation on ‘HBIM for Historic Buildings: Refurbishment of Big Ben for UK Parliament' at AU 2022 this proposal looks at the need for information regarding energy and carbon analysis to be available to designers at early stages of project development especially when retrofitting existing buildings of a historical nature. The standard workflows currently in use with applications such as Revit are based on creating mass elements which are then replaced with objects such as walls, floors etc. to produce models. By utilising tools such as the Insight energy and carbon analysis features developed by Autodesk along with redefining perceived workflows clients/building owners, designers and the wider built environment teams can provide more accurate assessments around historical buildings to ensure these truly amazing structures are retained and appreciated for generations to come.

Real estate and infrastructure are facing high pressure to reduce CO2 and waste. This class will demonstrate how to digitize existing real estate or infrastructure portfolios with a focus on decarbonization and reuse of material. The class will cover how to find out the CO2 footprint of a current portfolio, how to capture material, and how to use it as a material mine and bring it into a circle, as natural resources like sand and water are limited and shrinking drastically. The class will present a real example involving the Swiss Army based on other examples of relevant real estate owners in Switzerland. Digital twins are crucial in this context to the very precise and reliable capture and analysis of the data, and they help accelerate decisions and implementation, accelerate time to market, and ultimately lead to even more revenue for the owners. Technology showcased will be Revit software, Autodesk Tandem, InfraWorks software, and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

This class will cover the journey of a mid-size company that had the audacity to create a global solution to unite resources and projects in that one instance on a global scale. We'll touch on implementation follow-up, changes, alterations, adjustments, sacrificed chickens, and sometimes just some educated luck. We'll show the process used to meld people and project management together in one instance of Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage.

Trust is the foundation of every relationship. This applies in personal and professional situations, like the construction of a building. The level of trust within a project team—between designers, contractors, and trades—has a major impact on project outcomes. Do contract structures help or hinder? Do our software tools add or reduce trust? Have we built a culture of mistrust and litigation in a race to shed risk? In this continuation of last year's panel, professionals will discuss project challenges they've encountered, the effect these challenges have had on trust in the project team, and possible resolution methods. We'll cover ways to build and repair trust, discuss how better communication can help, and explore which strategies may be available to build trust. We'll look at the positive impacts these can have, and discuss how to be more proactive from the start, leading to better project execution. We'll seek ways to better collaborate—despite different backgrounds, goals, and expectations—to ensure a successful project.

The railway industry is changing for the better by using digital ways of working to improve the passenger experience. And Copenhagen Metro is at the forefront of this change, striving to deliver a more sustainable and reliable railway network for the city of Copenhagen. In this session, you'll learn about Copenhagen Metro's digital journey, and how the team are applying change management strategies to overcome resistance and drive successful digital transformation of railway infrastructure projects. We'll explore the common challenges and opportunities that arise when adopting new technologies, and review how to effectively manage change throughout the project lifecycle.

The construction industry made the move to building information modeling (BIM) more than a decade ago using tools like Revit software to improve design and construction. From an FM perspective, the industry is now moving toward smarter buildings, and digital twins are becoming increasingly important. Ironically, depending on who you ask, industry experts will agree on applications for digital twins, but they often cannot agree on a definition. In this session, a diverse panel of experts will discuss different aspects of digital twins and definitions. We'll present an overview of digital twins and the results of IT Community of IFMA's "Annual Digital Twin Survey.” The presentation will then move to a discussion where panelists will share their insights into current and future applications of digital twins using tools like Autodesk Tandem software. This session will help clarify what a digital twin is; what should be expected as a deliverable from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry; and the level of adoption within FM.

While the advent of building information modeling (BIM) brought the promise of common ways of working, joined up delivery teams, and connected data sets, it also introduced a new language, complex standards, and siloed BIM experts. These have since been wrapped into an international standard in the form of the ISO 19650 suite. While ISO 19650 has been in place for a number of years, uptake has been mostly seen in our London office. But recently, we've seen it emerge in our U.S. studios. This class will explain the fundamentals of ISO 19650; explore what it means to owner, designer, and constructor; and discuss how to align with a strategic and pragmatic approach rather than mandating verbatim. Having led project BIM processes for well over a decade, Perkins&Will has gained insight, experience, and understanding regarding what does and doesn't work for a range of clients across different sectors. This class will leave you armed with a firm knowledge of what is important when adopting ISO 19650 without needing endless added hours to ensure alignment.

For years, Topcon has been at the forefront of automating blade control and machine control systems. Today, we are integrating and automating traditional manual workflows to enhance project controls. These innovations are made accessible through intuitive dashboards, providing valuable project insights. Construction companies utilize multiple technology tools for project delivery efficiency. These tools focus on executing tasks and are not easily integrated into an overall project technology ecosystem, creating manual data management and project inefficiencies. Today, a new environment of open APIs has changed how data can be exchanged utilizing automation. Join industry experts that will share their experiences and perspectives on the common field-to-office exchanges, emphasizing heavy civil construction, connecting updated schedules and designs with machines through automated workflows.

Recent news of artificial intelligence (AI) advances have us all wondering how our professions will change. Committed to driving future-ready innovation, WSP Digital Solutions engaged with Autodesk Research to explore the potential of AI-assisted automated structural design after seeing a prototype at Autodesk University 2019. In this class, you'll see how we worked together to understand the technology's promise and how to use it effectively. We'll describe the possible benefits we identified, from more-meaningful, agile engagements with architects in early design phases through assistive technology that automates away tedious tasks and helps explore more options ("rapid optioneering"), to surfacing sustainability trade-offs when most impactful decisions can be made. We'll also address the fears around this digital transformation. Finally, we will share how our unique collaboration came to be, and how you too can engage with Autodesk to prepare for and shape the future of work and the world of tomorrow.

In June 2019, the Miami-Dade County Commission adopted a new capital improvement program at Miami International Airport (MIA) that will fund up to $5.2 billion in airport-wide modernization projects over the next 5 to 15 years. This paves the way for future growth in passenger and cargo traffic at MIA, which is projected to serve 77 million travelers and more than 4 million tons of freight by the year 2040. The comprehensive plan includes developing a strategy to digitally transform the way design consultants and contractors develop their projects using building information modeling (BIM), including the asset information that eventually will be handed over to MIA so it can be integrated with an enterprise asset management system for future operations and maintenance. This lecture will include the overall strategy to ensure all project information follows MIA standards to produce data consistently.

Climate change is an energy challenge, and the energy world is at a crossroads. We must reconsider how we consume and produce energy and drive the energy transition. Electricity 4.0, a term coined to represent the convergence of electric and digital at scale, can empower the electricity system to become greener and more intelligent putting a zero-waste, zero-emissions, and zero-carbon future within our grasp. It's about accelerating new energy sources to unlock a flexible, reliable bidirectional grid infrastructure, and efficiency measures to avoid energy waste. It's about learning how we consume electricity, optimizing how we deliver it, and managing our sources to have a mix of energy generation that is clean, efficient yet reliable and resilient.

This talk will be about real-time, city-scale data visualization, analytics, computation, and simulation in Unreal Engine. We'll demonstrate real-world examples where complex master-planning data sets from multiple stakeholders were integrated to build an immersive digital twin platform in Unreal Engine. You'll learn how the outcome facilitated stakeholder engagement and collaboration and the ability to explore what-if scenarios of the urban development. Materials and textures application and rendering were automated, enabling application of different materials composition to city infrastructure and buildings to provide a realistic feel of the urban context. The speed of the real-time rendering was a masterpiece of computational geometry application to achieve automated processes.

This session will introduce LotSpec, an Option Management add-in which automates “Lot-Specifics” within Revit and AutoCAD Architecture. We will be interviewing a LotSpec user from Smith Douglas Homes. The session will discuss the pain points home builders face and how LotSpec can help ease the burden of site specific architecture. We will cover how LotSpec can automate the process to improve organization, project management, and estimating by providing concise drawings. LotSpec uses a rules-based workflow to assign logic to project elements. The automation process assists in eliminating combination errors and reduced red-lines.

Industrialized construction is here to stay; prefabricated elements in the built environment and the design-for-manufacture-and-assembly (DfMA) process that enables it are fast becoming the norm across all sectors. So why is it that most of the case studies and best practices we see relate to volumetric modular construction of housing and hospitality? What about the vast but largely unsung impact of advanced building products, single-trade assemblies, and multitrade assemblies that make up the majority of the market? This panel will invite leaders from across the prefabrication continuum to explore why it's not just about modular.

The handover of a 3D model is an old standard practice in the industrial plant market-one that nowadays has to be integrated with the Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach. This presentation will walk you through the journey that an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor took by implementing BIM inside its typical design workflow for an $800 million petrochemical plant in the Middle East. We will demonstrate how to perform civil and structural design using Revit software from conceptual up to construction documentation delivery, and how to take full advantage of 3D modeling for plant project coordination and information management. Thanks to this method of collecting and delivering model data in an efficient manner, it's possible to recognize potential risks, impacts, and conflicts-and to take action in order to bring the project to success. Finally, the class will briefly discuss the project and process BIM implementation benefits, together with the related risks for a general contractor.

The class will show the experience of BIM implementation with Revit in an architecture and engineering firm. The strategy and the investments to do, the possible problem and solutions, the schedule and the goals to achieve. The case studies and the pilot projects are essential to BIM implementation; this class will present many special real case studies from the Bulgari New Jewelry-Making Center (finalist at AEC Excellence Awards 2016) to the residences in Masdar City, showing the critical points and strengths of this BIM project.
