BIM/VDC in AEC have been reliant upon Rosetta Stone Softwares that allow trades and designers to view one-another's scope and documentation. It is Gilbane's opinion that one of the largest areas of inefficiency in the shop drawing process is the translation of design information to installation information. While no software is going to make this process effortless, it should be noted that for a designer to work in one software and trade contractors to work in others represents a lack of forward momentum for the sake of one entity's (of many) sunk costs. It is our opinion that it is possible to align all strategic contractors into one software platform allowing for seamless '3D Xrefs', accelerating processes and almost eliminating the need for model translation schemes. Finally, we will demonstrate that since 2015, it has impacted the subcontractor community with Scopes of Work that require this process, and will share what data we have on the schedule and cost benefits to the process.

This presentation will explore how immersive technologies (XR) can help designers in different phases of the design process and enhance workflows. The XR revolution is happening in the design industry, but many design firms and individual designers may have not thought about how they can do conceptual design and present design ideas differently. The concept of immersive technology implies a great paradigm shift from a 2D design space to a 3D world where designers can empower their creativity. With an innovative and open-minded work culture, HOK embraces new design technology and aims to create a more effective workflow and powerful design solutions. The class will focus on how XR can help create a more powerful work environment and push the limit of design communication, and discuss the impact of XR on designers, clients, and users.

All of us have been there at one time or another: faced with the daunting mundane task of manually inputting data from a certain program to another. And this not only takes an extremely long time, but it is also prone to error—along with the fact that the information is static and isolated. So, instead of spending more money on a new add-in or software program, this session will demonstrate how to capitalize on Revit software, Dynamo, and Microsoft Excel (software programs already on our computers) to produce accurate HVAC load results for HVAC design. Attendees will learn to utilize design criteria with Revit MEP Spaces, and learn how to push, pull, and manipulate that data using Dynamo and Excel.

Jacobs, the world’s largest ESP, employs 70,000 staff and has 20,000-plus active projects across more than 50 countries.

The collection and management of building data, including the requirements for rooms, equipment, and other needs, as it evolves from early design through construction documentation and as a basis for facility management, can be enhanced through advanced techniques in Revit-based software. This includes linking to an external data source, automating the creation of areas and rooms, creating room data sheets, and other graphic and non-graphic processes that complement BIM. This class covers basic database theory, the structure of objects and their relation to data management, and Revit techniques for implementing this general theory in actual projects. We also discuss third-party software and customizations, and how they are used to further advance these processes. The class goes beyond learning Revit commands and looks at the underlying information requirements of emerging integration in project delivery.

The emerging prevalence of mass timber structures and modular MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) and façade systems point to the goal that most projects share—design and build beautiful and sustainable buildings on time and on budget. This case study of midrise housing that utilizes mass timber and modular MEP/façade systems illustrates the reduced carbon footprint and related cost and schedule savings of this type of design when compared to traditional concrete structures. By focusing on materials, fabrication, and installation, the case study is a road map for how integrated delivery can reduce operational and embodied carbon by 60%, cost by 10%, and construction time by 15%. Integrated delivery of this kind requires close coordination with fabricators and contractors, facilitated by shared intelligent models and data. The panel will discuss how owners can influence integrated delivery adoption and the best practices to implement at project kickoff and extend through the construction to post-occupancy use.
