It is our pleasure to announce that the Wisconsin Chapter of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) and the Milwaukee Chapter of CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) have partnered up to host a joint presentation on “Resilience in Building Design to Support a Resilient Society”. The presentation will be given by Thomas M. Lawrence, Ph.D.

Presentation Description:

GBCI Approved |1 CE Hour| 0920017336
AIA Approved | 1 LU/HSW | Lawrence05

A number of major events (natural and human caused) have led to an increased awareness of the need for our built environment to be designed and constructed for better resiliency. Take for example the hurricane induced shutdown of the electrical grid in Puerto Rico or the devastating impact of Hurricane Sandy in the northeastern U.S in 2012. Buildings must also be able to adapt to human caused issues such as terrorist attacks, etc. These events point out the vulnerability of buildings and the built environment. This talk will cover the potential areas for focus in upgrading our systems for resiliency as well as some of the recent trends and technology changes needed for increasing our ability to maintain resiliency in the built environment. The topics covered will range from individual building systems up through the building, regional and societal levels.

Presentation

ASHRAE President Charles Gulledge will give a speech to both the Wisconsin and Illinois Chapters. The outline of the speech will be as follows:

1. Summary:  Digital transformation is not simply associated with adopting new technical solutions. Knowledge needs to be captured and linked in such a way that ALL relevant stakeholders’ benefit. Doing so requires understanding of how to collect, store, and analyze data; so that it is insightful and actionable. The ASHRAE Digital Lighthouse and Industry 4.0 focuses on reimagining the building industry by not only integrating industry segments, but technology. This presentation will examine how ASHRAE will lead the industry in becoming a part of the digital transformation that will guide the building industry into the next decade and beyond.
2. Course Outline:
   • Transformation Connection
   • Current Industry State
   • Lean Collaboration
   • Digital Transformation
   • Off-Site Construction
   • The Digital Age of Connection
3. Assessment of Learning (Objectives):
   • Assessment of Waste and lack of Productivity in the HVAC Ecosystem.
   • Understand the role of Lean and Collaboration in removing Waste
   • Implement Digital Technologies to improve Productivity and generate Value
   • Implement Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) strategies to remove Waste and improve Value
   • Evolve in a Digital World
