ClimaCell Announces Autodesk Partnership & Short-Term Weather Prediction Model for the Construction IndustryThursday, November 16th, 2017In an interview with Rei Goffer, ClimaCell, CSO we discussed the company’s partnership with Autodesk BIM 360 announced at Autodesk University this week. “Going Digital” at Bentley 2017 “Year in Infrastructure” in SingaporeThursday, October 19th, 2017Partnerships make the world go round. Or so it would seem from the recent announcements made by Bentley Systems at their 2017 Year in Infrastructure Conference held in Singapore this past week. The event drew record numbers, primarily from Southeast Asia, China and India. 130 journalists also were in attendance.
Presenting 2030 Districts: Urban Sustainability Through CollaborationTuesday, March 7th, 2017Dave Low, Network Liaison for the private-sector led 2030 Districts, spoke about the recent development of that group’s establishment of a non-profit separate from Architecture 2030, an organization that provides support for the goal of reaching carbon-neutrality in buildings by the year 2030. After five years of support and oversight from Architecture 2030, the fifteen 2030 Districts across North America have established their own non-profit. As part of this move, the 2030 Districts have selected the following thirteen members to its initial Board of Governors:
AEC Predictions for 2017Thursday, February 2nd, 2017AEC technology company spokespeople weigh in on what their predictions are for 2017, with their thoughts on “going digital,” virtual and augmented reality, smart cities, “assembled architecture,” drones, self-driving cars, big data and much more. Stay tuned for some very insightful comments on the state of industry going forward this year.  Self driving electronic computer car on road, 3D illustration (courtesy Bentley Systems) Smart Cities
 City of Helsinki – Helsinki 3D+ “A smart city is a visionary statement for urban development that aims to converge information technology, operational technology, and engineering technology to better manage a city’s assets, and ultimately improve the quality of life for all. Technology is the enabler for smart cities around the globe, spanning mega projects to smaller scale initiatives that focus on streamlining processes, realizing efficiency gains, and improving services to its citizens. To realize the potential of a smart city, a concerted focus is being placed on a digital strategy that will enable comprehensive project delivery and enhanced asset performance for the supply chain and asset owners that build, construct, and operate and maintain infrastructure.” — Aidan Mercer, Industry Marketing Director, Government, Bentley Systems BEinspiring in London – AECCafe’s Bentley Year In Infrastructure 2016 ReportThursday, November 3rd, 2016It’s difficult not to be inspired when attending the Bentley Year In Infrastructure Conference, with so many talented professionals gathered to show off their infrastructure projects.

There are many on the jobsite who need to make use of valuable information stored in BIM, but who need only limited access to it. From the Exhibit Floor: AIA Convention 2016Thursday, May 26th, 2016At the AIA Convention 2016 held in Philadelphia last week, the Exhibit Hall showcased software, hardware and all types of building materials. Emphasis for AEC technology this year is on reality capture or modeling, building information modeling, zero carbon energy initiatives, conceptual modeling and the inclusion of metadata in projects.  Bring your stories to life in animated 3D environments, rich with wind-swept plants, seasonal trees, rolling clouds, rippling water, deep shadows and beautiful light. AECCafe Special Report: Reality Capture to Reality ModelingMonday, February 29th, 2016Over the past few years reality capture has taken the AEC world by storm, with ever increasing attention to being able to collect, process and import data more efficiently and accurately. New technologies and the cloud have created the opportunity to use reality capture more affordably and efficiently, so that many more users can take advantage of the data collected. This technology is considered disruptive because in many cases it displaces previously used technologies and processes, that were more laborious, costly and less efficient.

Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) in Paris Moves Nations Toward Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050Wednesday, February 24th, 2016In December 2015, an historic agreement was reached among 195 nations in Paris at the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) to combat climate change and work towards a low carbon, resilient future, calling to keep global average temperature increase well below 2 degrees C, and to drive efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.6 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
