SUMMARY:Addressing Workforce Shortages: How Can the Construction Industry Attract More Workers?
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDespite 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 of over 250 people working in construction and more than 1\,100 students\, jobseekers\, and people employed in other industries in the U.S. \nThe study provides actionable information about how to attract more workers to the industry\, including: \n\nWhat those working in construction find most satisfying in their careers\nWhat the next generation of workers are looking for and how the industry can make itself more appealing to them\nWhat keeps the largest share of people from considering work in construction (and it probably isn’t what you think)\nHow the construction industry needs to communicate with the next generation of workers

SUMMARY:Enhancing Sustainability and Energy Conservation Through Digital Twin Technology
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nDigital twins serve as a sophisticated tool that integrates four main data streams — hard assets\, asset cutsheets\, dynamic operational data\, and institutional knowledge — into a unified middleware dashboard. Digital twins are 3D representations of the real-world asset and are the pathway for continued sustainability. \nThis integration not only simplifies the management of building data but also enhances the decision-making processes\, allowing for more accurate virtual inspections and proactive maintenance strategies. By replicating physical assets in a virtual environment\, digital twins enable operators to perform detailed analyses and simulations\, which helps in pinpointing inefficiencies and predicting future performance under various scenarios. \nThis presentation will delve into the methodologies for transforming a building information model (BIM) into a navigable\, asset-level digital twin. It will outline the process of data aggregation\, labeling\, and algorithm application\, which are crucial for enhancing operational and energy efficiencies tailored to specific assets. The outcome is a streamlined\, intuitive interface that not only promotes sustainability but also supports the building’s long-term viability and compliance with evolving environmental standards. \n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the Role of Digital Twin Technology: Gain insights into how digital twins transform traditional building management systems into advanced\, sustainable solutions by integrating hard assets\, dynamic operational data\, and institutional knowledge.\nExplore Data Integration Techniques: Learn the methodologies for converting Building Information Models (BIM) into digital twins\, focusing on data aggregation\, labeling\, and algorithm application for enhanced energy efficiency.\nEnhance Decision-Making Processes: Discover how digital twins improve decision-making through detailed analyses\, virtual inspections\, and predictive maintenance strategies\, ultimately contributing to energy conservation.\nOptimize Asset Performance and Energy Use: Learn how owners and operators can utilize digital twins to optimize asset performance\, reduce energy consumption\, and achieve long-term sustainability goals.
