9:00 – 10:00 am - Keynote Address (IP01)

Chairs of TAP, COTE, CBSP and IP


10:15-11:45 a.m. – Concurrent Sessions

Curricula that integrates architecture, engineering, and construction technology (IP11)
What if you could hire new graduates who already knew about BIM and could lead you to a leaner, greener world with less conflict? Find out how this class succeeded in getting future architects and contractors to collaborate for fun, profit, and the benefit of the environment.
Members of the University of Maryland’s multi-disciplinary Comprehensive Design Studio/Advanced Technology Seminar team present case studies illustrating the use of Building Information Modeling in student design projects. BIM enables building simulation and prompts a new mode of practice – Integrated Practice – to emerge in the student design process.

10 - 11:30 a.m. – Concurrent sessions

Green modeling (IP41)
With the sharpened focus on creating energy-efficient, high performance buildings, architects need energy analysis to move out of the realm of engineering and into the realm of architecture as a design tool. This talk will focus on how to incorporate energy analysis, including building energy modeling, effectively into the architectural design process. Topics covered will include which tools are right for which analysis tasks, what detail level is appropriate for each design phase, and the current and future relationship of BIM to energy analysis. Case studies of energy analysis in the design process will illustrate the talk.
Speaker:
Paul Stroller, AIA
