Buildings are built using a variety of construction types, methods, and materials. There are many risks to property and occupants, including fire, water, intrusion, extreme weather, and other natural disasters. Developers and owners of multifamily buildings must insure these buildings during construction and occupancy over the building lifetime against these risks. Fire, however, continues to […]

Public awareness of the need to improve indoor air quality (IAQ), ventilation, and air filtration in buildings greatly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Post-pandemic, several things have taken place: The Biden Administration announced the Clean Air in Buildings Challenge in 2022, held a White House Summit on Sustainable K-12 School Buildings and Grounds, and released […]

Precast, prestressed concrete is a durable material well known for its strength, resilience, and ability to protect the lives, livelihoods, and lifestyles of people and communities. Part of that equation is contributing to safe and healthy spaces where occupants can live and work. This presentation will discuss how precast concrete can be used to create […]

Digital twins have emerged as a popular term in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, often hailed as a transformative innovation. While some early adopters have embraced digital twins and invested in research and development, many facility owners are skeptical due to lack of standardized guidelines that can lead to challenges in implementation. For […]

Rapid retrofitting of America’s existing building stock is of urgent national interest to improve energy efficiency and resilience. But how can cities plan for this significant transition with limited funding, data, resources, and time? This session introduces a practical and scalable Urban Building stock digital twin for energy modeling developed by the Environmental Systems Lab […]

In this session, TwinKnowledge will discuss a new type of digital twin that has emerged with AI, cognitive digital twins (CDTs), and their implications for the AECO industry. Cognitive digital twins enable O&M workflows that are supported end-to-end by AI. They are built on top of existing digital twins; they use AI to make sense […]

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 […]
