This event serves as a catalyst for innovators and newcomers from all facets of the built environment to converge and explore one key aspect of digital transformation and how it enhances accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability in design, construction, and management of assets.

The event will showcase technological advances, applications and case studies, challenges and solutions, and future trends of digital twins. Connect with other thought leaders and practitioners to learn more about the transformative and integrative impact digital twins have on design, engineering, construction, operations management, and hazard mitigation.

We invite building owners, government representatives, and members of the building trades to join the conversation. This event will feature panel discussions and speakers from the public and private sectors as well as interactive workshops and networking opportunities

the largest and only annual international event dedicated to concrete. This conference showcases the latest technologies revolutionizing safety, performance and speed. Learn what it takes to not only claim a piece of our industry’s massive projected growth but dominate the field.

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 workflows. The Session will present how to address these challenges using the new technologies and processes.

Learning Objectives

1. Learn how to set up rules for BIM data and control its quality
2. Learn how Augmented Reality (AR) can make the adoption of BIM/Digital Twin easier
3. Learn how mobile robots (e.g. robot dogs or wheeled platforms) can utilize Digital Twins for automating redundant workflows.
4. Learn how AI/ML can be used to create BIMs from 2D floorplans.

The CESSE CEO Meeting provides a trusting environment where you will connect with other STEM society CEOs to share experiences and solve common issues. You will grow your personal, organizational, and community-based leadership skills and become equipped to lead your organization to the forefront.

The ASHRAE winter conference will take place February 8 - 12, 2025 in Orlando, FL. This conference will feature over 100 technical sessions.

Geo Week is the premier event for increased integration between the built environment, advanced airborne/terrestrial technologies, and commercial 3D technologies. It was created as a response to the changing needs of built world and geospatial professionals, and to acknowledge the convergence of technology taking place currently. New technological innovations, the need for remote workflows, and hardware breakthroughs are redefining expectations across teams, organizations, and entire industries. Geo Week is at the center of it all.

Architectural Record, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, invites you to join us for this special annual event. As the third conference in the series, it offers architects, allied design professionals, and students an unparalleled opportunity to connect in a relaxed atmosphere while learning about:

• Recycling building materials and circularity
• Innovative retrofit projects
• Urban regeneration
• Carbon impacts of landscapes
• Achieving net-zero carbon in buildings

This complimentary day-long event features multiple networking opportunities, thought-provoking discussions, and culminates with a cocktail reception to cap off the program.

The prevention of moisture accumulation in roof decks is a tale as old as roofs. Designers have traditionally used dew point analysis or the Glaser method to determine steady-state moisture risk in roof assemblies of buildings around the globe. However, building systems have become more complicated, and highly technical analysis software has become easier to access.

More designers are turning to hygrothermal analysis to get a more in-depth look at the performance of a roof assembly as components or building usage change over time; this helps account for future climate change or when sensitive materials or building occupants are involved.

This presentation will highlight the critical assumptions that go into different types of roof moisture models. It also will look at the impact of variables incorporated only in hygrothermal analysis, such as air leakage, moisture content of materials and reflectivity. Finally, this presentation will review previous research to show how the changing of basic assumptions can impact the results of both types of analysis – for better or worse.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the key differences between the Glaser method and hygrothermal modeling.
• Identify the impacts different variables have on roof hygrothermal models.
• Determine when to use a Glaser method analysis versus a hygrothermal model to evaluate moisture risk.
• Recognize how to hygrothermally model roof assemblies to reduce the risk of moisture issues.
