This project included energy efficiency improvements for a community property in a city in Ontario. The focus was on optimizing energy use in the existing building and exploring energy-saving measures for potential new multi-family housing on the site. The objective was to assist in future capital management decisions, aligning with CMHC MLI Select energy efficiency criteria.

First, a baseline energy model was created using available data and suggesting various Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for potential savings. The aim was to present scenarios achieving up to a 40% reduction in energy use from the existing building baseline, meeting CMHC criteria. The first scenario proposes around a 47% improvement with upgraded HVAC systems and enhanced window performance. The second scenario, focusing on a specific section built in 1920, achieved a 40% energy reduction with HVAC enhancements, window improvements, and increased roof insulation. The report also explores options for new construction, targeting compliance with NECB 2017 standards. These options demonstrate energy savings of up to 50%. 

An interactive dashboard provided by Adaptis's solution summarized existing conditions, design options, material breakdowns, waste, carbon, and cost benchmarks. Users could explore optimized options based on their priorities using this decision-support platform.

Challenges
The construction industry is responsible for massive consumption and GHG emissions: 
-Consumes 50% of all raw materials.
-Produces over 40% of all GHG emissions.

Large degree of unnecessary demolition and not enough salvage and reuse: 
-60% of building demolitions could have been avoided with timely renovations, retrofits, and adaptive reuse.
-85%+ of demolished materials end up in landfills, making up 25% of landfills.

Mandates for decarbonization are expanding globally: 
-45%+ emission reduction by 2030 (Canada, US, EU).
-Net-zero carbon by 2050, which requires retrofitting 80%+ of today’s buildings (Ontario, US, EU).

The current linear model of decarbonization is slow, complex, and expensive.
-It takes a multi-disciplinary team of 5+ consultants, 6+ months to develop recommendations for one building.
-These consultants charge $100K+ per building.
-Even with the best-laid plans, 20% of projects end up over budget.

Construction of the campus began in September 2019, and work was completed in late 2021. Public spaces have been raised to the fourth floor making the campus specific to conventional office buildings.
The building is shaped by stacking - vertical arranging of different functions on top of each other: a parking lot on the ground floor, three floors of office spaces, a public floor with a restaurant and a conference room, and three floors with accommodation units. 

An important feature of this project is the pioneering application of the VOLUM3 platform for the cooperation of all participants in design, construction and site supervision phases.  
Every day, 139 users joined the platform and by creating (and completing) more than 1700 individual tasks, they generated more than 200 meeting reports. More than 1200 drafts were made and their delivery, alongside complete documentation, was submitted through VOLUM3. 
Thanks to VOLUM3's modules, better overview of activities, faster and better decision-making process, the completion of tasks on time, and detailed reporting were provided. This increased the overall satisfaction of all project stakeholders and reduced the risk of failure.

Campus Infobip

VOLUM3 enables construction professionals to collaborate on projects from any Internet-connected device with access to all project documents, contracts, RFIs, submittals, schedules, drawings and more.

We tested VOLUM3 with large architecture companies - they were amazed by the fact it allows them to very quickly ramp up their project and start using it for their project team(s). Most of their subcontractors were also interested in seeing VOLUM3 in action, finding it extremely easy to use and learn.

Even if you are a small company VOLUM3 enables you to compete with much larger firms by showcasing the quality of produced work directly from within the VOLUM3 Collaboration Platform.

A new higher education facility is to be constructed in the Rocky Mountain Region, which will encompass a variety of spaces including learning, office, and lab areas. This new build on campus is set to push the boundaries of both the State and campus sustainability goals.

The project has established ambitious carbon targets focused towards minimising both operating and embodied carbon, reflecting a broad commitment to sustainable and low-carbon building practices.

The final decision to implement a mass timber system for the non-lab portions of the building stands as a defining moment for this project, marking a significant departure from conventional construction practices. The ability to precisely measure the environmental advantage over concrete was not just beneficial but essential. With Preoptima's advanced capability to calculate the carbon reduction potential of timber versus concrete, the evidence was clear and compelling, decisively guiding the choice for the final structural design. This strategic, data-driven decision underscores Preoptima's pivotal role in pioneering sustainable building practices.

When Lake-Flato had an opportunity to rethink its corporate headquarters in 2020, the Texas-based firm embodied its own sustainable values: Instead of building a new office, it repurposed its old one.​

The execution of this adaptive reuse project required powerful digital tools. The firm not only utilized these tools for 3D modeling and optimizing the design, but also leveraged them to prove and validate its positive design outcomes through third-party certifications. Along with prioritizing a material reuse strategy, Lake | Flato had to also think about the living conditions inside the building. ​

The firm leveraged Autodesk Forma and Revit, in tandem with advanced technologies such as AR and VR, to address these needs and transform the 100-year-old former office into a future-focused hybrid workplace that showcases environmental sustainability and creative, collaborative design.​

StructSure

As a performance-driven general contractor, StructSure Projects has experienced project managers and engineers, superintendents, safety officers, quality control managers and estimators dedicated to delivering successful projects on time, within budget and with complete customer satisfaction.

Located in rural North Yorkshire in England, the project was considered a large residential luxury development. It started with the demolition of a traditional 1970's home, followed by a custom design of new, energy efficient, contemporary home equipped with multiple garages, workshops and stables. All of these elements were designed to have the same consistent aesthetic. Its budget sat around £2 million, including land costs. The design and construction team consisted of five separate parties, including Struct-sure, so there many voices needed to heard during the design and construction process. Inside the main building there is a suspended mezzanine floor as well as a steel spiral staircase with glass balustrades.

What makes this project especially unique is the "three-sided glazing". The glass panels shown in the project photos are the largest available glazing panels for fabrication in Europe, and stand at 5.5 meters (18 feet) tall! These panels were the centerpiece of the design, but also caused some interesting design challenges.

Here's a few interesting notes from a transcription of our latest Bi-Weekly Rendair Webinars -  

"Once you've signed up, you'll be able to access the text to render tool, which is the most basic tool that is accessible for free. You can test it out. We have some videos that are available on YouTube. But generally to create and instantly access the platform and start making amazing renderings, you want to use either Create, Edit, Upscale or Video. Within each of these, you'll notice a different set of tools, each of which you can attenuate with different metrics. So we'll go one by one. Create is where we generally start. Text to render is the most basic.  So here, these take about 15 to 30 seconds to generate. you can type in pretty much anything. I can say tiny home on a hill, blue facade white flowers in the garden, right?"

"For anything that's text to render only, I suggest getting as lengthy as you want with the description of the scene. The reason being you're not providing design input or some kind of other direction for the Ai to follow. So you can really get as creative and as detailed as you want here in the description of the scene.  Otherwise, the moment we start introducing designs and then adding text to it, there can be certain prompts that conflict with the design. So, you want to make sure that it all lines up and it makes sense." 

"The creativity bar directly impacts the text in the description of the scene. So, if my creativity is really high, this image is going to be really busy."

"Let's take a look at some examples of elevation to render, If you have these sort of speckled details, they're going to show up in the render,  So depending on your use case and what you're trying to do, in this case, our client was looking for a white tile fireplace with white walls on the sides and they wanted this centerpiece to be walnut. I was able to make that happen using a few different tools, but I ended up finding even though I was working on an elevation, and this is an interesting note, sketch to render was able to make some pretty good results for me too. Here are some examples of Elevation-to-Render and Sketch-To-Render... Ultimately, I ended up taking the best final render to select and modify via the edit tools in order to put the image together."

"Here we have a really nice exterior of an office building. The sketch was pretty rough, so it's a little bit low quality. I'll make another note here. the quality of your output will be, Generally speaking. And before I move on to the edit module, I'm going to take a moment to let you guys ask any questions into the chat a few things that I'd like to point out about create. Anything that we make here is going to change and affect every pixel in the image within the create module."

"Magic variation is when you don't want any changes to the design but you want to show the project in a different light/feel. By decreasing the image strength to 1%,  I gave the AI freedom to veer away from the original design. I asked it to follow it by providing the design input but I gave it full freedom to go away as far as it wanted. Otherwise in this case you'll notice the design is far more close to the original input. I can click here on copy inputs to verify and you'll see that the image strength is up there at 100%.  Right? Creativity by the way still only impacts for all the tools the description of the scene. So in this case elevation to render has the first component. We're attenuating the image strength to suggest whether or not we want the AI to closely follow the input design. We're then further directing the image with the description of the scene which you can pull up keywords here at any point in time which are very influential."

"And the third component is if we want to add a reference image, we can also add a reference image. The reference image doesn't necessarily have to The reference image can also be something like this. In which case, if I use this 100% is going to really overpower. So let's say I start with just under 50%. This will take into account the description of the scene, and If I feel the reference strength isn't showing enough, then I'll just increase here. And if I feel that it's overpowering, I'll decrease it here. Generally, the reference strength makes a huge impact. Okay, here's another quick elevation to render example. A little kiosk, and we'll take a look at those ones that we just made. Okay, while those are loading up, I'll move on to sketch to render."

"Sketch to render might be the most flexible tool out out of all of them. It can do complex, it can do simple, it can do 2D, it can do 3D, it can literally do anything. So, tch If I go here, filtering by tools. yeah, it's impressive what Sketch render can do. Let's take a look here.  So, this can be super basic. It can be like a sketch on a napkin and with some direction from the AI on the text, you can get some pretty impressive results. It can also process really complex artwork like a MC Escher sketch and try to make something realistic out of it. But otherwise, just about anything you throw at it, it's going to do really incredible work."

Contractors setup and manage new projects by creating a poster with a project QR code with your company logo and check-in instructions. Employees, subcontractors, vendors and visitors will scan the QR code poster or use a personal QR badge and a tablet when entering or leaving. Daily log and project management updates are automatic.

Safe Site Check In is a web app accessed using any device without downloads or installs for paperless site management. Affordable monthly subscriptions are by jobsite for an unlimited number of users. Free trials and volume discounts available.

Experienced jobsite superintendents, project, safety, personnel and cost managers are hard to find and keep. SSCI’s paperless digital automation saves them hours a day and allows them to be builders, not bureaucrats or paper pushers:
1. Field operations -- Field operations managers all need to know who's on site, why, for what reason, for how long, and approved by whom. SSCI automates field operations data capture, distribution, archival and integration for a savings of at least 2.50USD per jobsite check-in.
2. Daily log creation and archival -- Paper records are terrible for operations and compliance. SSCI eliminates daily log data entry and makes compliance archival and retrieval automatic.
3. Worker onboarding, badging & initial training – The time spent by field managers to onboard workers adds to overhead and distracts from construction. SSCI makes onboarding employees, subcontractors and vendors mostly self-service. 
4. Worker profiles – Jobsite workers can be employees, subcontractors or vendors but field managers rarely know their employers, skills and legal employment status. SSCI makes worker profile data, images and documents available to field managers. 
5. Jobsite security – Security and safety plans require jobsite access controls that prevent unauthorized access. Theft losses are up, untrained workers are a safety risk, and publicly funded projects like schools often require background checks, and more and more states are requiring proof of all workers' legal employment status. SSCI enhances jobsite security control by alerting superintendents of check-in screening failures and/or the arrival of new or unauthorized workers.
6. Remote jobsite monitoring -- Not all jobs are big enough to need full-time onsite superintendents and safety managers, and managers can't be everywhere at once.  And superintendents can’t be onsite everyday anyways. SSCI makes remote & multi-site jobsite management possible by automating so many management tasks and making the data available in real-time with costly travel between sites.
7. Project management – Project management software needs timely jobsite workforce updates to assure schedules are on track. but superintendents are overburdened and dislike data entry tasks.  SSCI makes daily project plan updates mostly automatic and easy for superintendents and field engineers.
8. Subcontractor management – Jobsites are staffed by workers from multiple companies and all such workers need to comply with the project, safety and security plans. SSCI makes onboarding in the field easy and subcontractor compliance verifiable.
9. Safety screening -- Safety plans require training before building begins and frequent reminders as construction proceeds. OSHA expects evidence that training was delivered and safety plans enforced. SSCI makes jobsite safety requirements, reminders, change notices and visitor waivers an automated part of every check in. 
10. Safety training – Safety plans require training in the field and proof it was delivered. SSCI tracks who viewed safety videos and attended field training (aka “tool talks”).
11. Safety alerts – Safety plans require jobsite emergency communications if there’s an incident or accident. SSCI can notify everyone checked-in onsite what they need to do.
12. Safety reference documents – Safety plans require documents at every jobsite describing how to handle or treat hazardous substances. SSCI makes paperless Safety Data Sheets available to everyone on all jobsites.
13. Wage and invoice validation -- Wage and invoice overcharges or false claims can add up if timesheet data cannot be validated and only relies on a superintendent’s memory. Having a second source of data helps with prevailing wage cases too. SSCI makes hourly pay validation possible by providing a comparison to timecard data which is often not entered everyday at the end of the shift. SSCI also captures subcontractor or vendor attendance making t&m invoice processing easier.
14. Safety and incident claims – Safety and risk management plans require workers to notify management immediately after any incident, and management needs good contemporaneous data to defend against claims. SSCI makes both possible by requiring workers to “check-out without incident” and recording all their screening questions and answers.
