Enquiries boost for Optima Energy as organisations seek to bolster energy data security

Optima Energy, a leading developer and provider of advanced energy management software, has seen a leap in the number of enquiries it is receiving as organisations seek to bolster their energy data systems. Optima says the growing threat of cyber-attacks is the number one reason more companies are seeking to invest in advanced software to keep sensitive data safe. A growing number of the enquiries it has received over the last six months are from NHS Trusts. To help energy and IT professionals working in the healthcare sector beat the growing threat of cyber-crime Optima has published The Good Sleep Guide whichprovides insight into the 7 ways the NHS can prevent energy data security nightmares. Steve Kemp, Optima Energy’s Business Development Director, says: “The number of cyber-security threats is growing all the time. Energy data is one of the areas most at risk from attack, but often gets overlooked. The value of energy-related data is considerable and hackers are always trying to find innovative ways to infiltrate systems. And it is the fact that these cyber threats can go unnoticed until the real damage is clear that makes them so dangerous. This is why we cannot stress enough the importance of making sure energy data systems are robust and secure.” Energy has always been a cornerstone of Optima Energy’s activities. It is compliant with several ongoing security initiatives, including full accreditation for the Information Security Management Standard ISO 27001:2013 and Cyber Essentials Plus, which is a Government-backed scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common online threats. Mr Kemp added: “By its very nature data protection will always be a moving target. Which is why it makes sense to work alongside partners who are not only compliant with industry standards but also have a track-record of ensuring energy security. By investing in secure energy management software businesses can enjoy peace of mind in at least one major area of operations.”

The importance of understanding Building Information Modelling

Leading engineering solutions provider, Boulting Ltd., has released a new infographic and white paper, exploring and explaining the levels of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for construction, project and plant managers. BIM is a collaborative process that facilitates the efficient design, construction, maintenance and delivery of buildings throughout their entire life cycle. The infographic and whitepaper can be downloaded for free on the Boulting Ltd. website. The UK is one of the world leaders in BIM technology and execution, the UK government has recognised the key benefits of 3D Modelling and BIM and through legislation are driving its implementation and use, which is why it is crucial that industry professionals understand the levels of BIM in order to make the most out of their project. The Boulting Ltd whitepaper and infographic provides insight into the current levels of BIM that were established as a requirement for construction when the UK Government published the Construction Strategy in 2011. Considerations for managing BIM projects as well as current regulations and future directions of BIM are explored through the whitepaper. BIM levels range from level 0 to level 7, with even further potential for development in the future. In 2016, level 2 was set as the UK Government minimum standard for public sector work. Capability to undertake 3D Modelling coupled to BIM level 2 execution is normally a prerequisite requirement of the tendering process. BIM is a valuable information source that allows project managers, contractors and maintenance teams to identify coordination issues earlier in the project cycle at design phase rather than during construction giving greater cost assurance and ultimately eliminating maintenance inefficiencies. “In our sector, BIM is a fundamental aspect of work,” explained Glyn Shawcross, Engineering and Design Director at Boulting Ltd. “At Boulting, we are able to implement and undertake BIM projects and achieve successful results thanks to the wealth of knowledge that our valuable staff provide. The whitepaper and infographic helps to demonstrate the importance of considering BIM at all stages of a project, from planning through construction to the ongoing maintenance of the site.” Regardless of whether a current project mandates the use of BIM, it’s essential that your business is BIM enabled and regulations are understood. As technology develops, future levels of BIM, beyond level 3 could become a standard requirement, as they require more collaboration for cross-functional work. Ensuring that current levels are understood will better prepare your business for future developments of BIM, when they become applicable to your project requirements. To find out more information about BIM and the work that Boulting Ltd does, call +44 (0)1925 446000 or visit www.boulting.co.uk.

The Hajj Pilgrimage – using crowd simulation software to tackle the challenges of large-scale gatherings

2019’s Hajj pilgrimage begins on 9th August, and it marks a crucial moment in a Muslim’s religious journey. The process follows the Prophet Muhammad’s pilgrimage to Mecca in 632 AD and is said to cleanse followers of Islam of sin. It is to be undertaken at least once in every Muslim’s lifetime. In the last 19 years, Mecca has hosted an average 2,362,528 pilgrims annually. To put this in perspective, Mecca’s population as of 2019 is 2,004,888. Essentially, Mecca more than doubles in population over the six-day pilgrimage window every year. With so many people comes a lot of challenges and risks — so, how is a mass gathering like the Hajj made possible and safe? The figures  The number of pilgrims heading to Mecca each year steadily rose between 1999 and 2012, resulting in the highest-ever number of pilgrims in 2012 (3,161,573). This led to quotas and restrictions being placed per country by the Saudi government — and 1 million fewer pilgrims in 2013. Despite these restrictions, risks associated with crowds remained. Stampedes had happened during the Hajj before, but the worst occurred in 2015. The resulting questions and concerns surrounding the event led to another fall in numbers in 2016 as many chose to boycott the gathering. Numbers sharply increased after this boycott, however, and have continued to rise. It is predicted that by 2030, numbers could reach 6 million. With this in mind, how do authorities manage such a colossal number of people? The challenges The most obvious risk and challenge of an event like the Hajj is the risk of stampedes or crushes. In such events, those present are unable to control their movements due to being pushed and lifted by pressure-ripples of a tightly packed crowd. This means density numbers need to be managed to a fine detail. One method of managing this risk is through crowd simulation software. Maher Saleh Abolkhour from the King Abdul Aziz University used such software to analyse and predict the movement of crowds at the Hajj. Management Maher focused on the Al-Masjid al-Haram, an open area space of the pilgrimage. Using crowd simulation software, Maher was able to re-run the simulation of a huge crowd in this space, recording predicted behaviour and the rise and fall of crowd density. This in turn allowed Maher to crate different models, moving gates and fences and re-running the simulation to see how these changes would affect crowd behaviour. In terms of physical changes to the route, Jamarat Bridge, which houses the important stoning of the devil rituals, has been redesigned in recent years. In 2016, 308 escalators were installed, alongside six passenger lifts, two ambulance elevators, and two helipad elevators. The Saudi government also has a fleet of ambulances integrated as part of their management efforts for the pilgrimage every year. According to reports by the Independent, each ambulance is considered to be its own intensive-care unit. The Hajj is an important journey in a Muslim’s life. There have been moves to make the pilgrimage as safe as possible, from pilgrim quotas, research and simulation, and engineering. With numbers only expected to rise, it is unlikely that the Hajj will not change again in coming years. Sources:

Tridify makes BIM models instantly viewable online

Tridify today announced a new option to its BIM to XR Processing Service, which makes BIM models instantly available online and sharable via a web link. Using BIMs that have been exported to an IFC format, Tridify’s new Web VR option automatically generates an interactive 3D model and makes it accessible via a URL, ready to be embedded on a web page, sent via email or text and viewable on a mobile phone. Early users of the new service include WSP, Stefan Ahlman Architects and SATO Corporation (user quotes below.) Feedback from architects revealed to Tridify how valuable it is to be able to send a link to a 3D model instead of sending files. With Tridify, users can now easily publish/unpublish their models and manage their visibility, giving greater control over how the models are used. Models cannot be copied and intellectual property rights are better protected. Targeted at the Architect, Construction and Property sectors and anyone working with BIM models, the new option creates countless opportunities for non-technical audiences, making 3D models easier to share internally, externally, with customers or consumers, on mobiles, tablets, desktops or VR headsets. Users simply upload an IFC file into Tridify and click ‘publish’ to create the model ready to view online, with no additional applications or programming skills required.  “Our new Web VR option solves a problem that the industry has struggled with for many years,” commented Alexander Le Bell, Tridify CEO. “By making BIM models instantly available and viewable in any browser, technical barriers are removed, they become a new commodity and are propelled into the mainstream. This will help to dramatically improve communication and collaboration workflows for architect, construction and property companies.”  “3D models can now be created from a BIM model in less than two minutes and shared with a global audience via WhatsApp, for example,” Le Bell continued. “The new service starts from $20 per month, which is enough to publish models of several small projects or a model of one medium size project. Soon it will become normal to share 3D models all the time, with anyone, anywhere.” Using the new Web VR option architects can now rapidly visualise their BIM models and share 3D plans with a client or contractor. Construction workers can share plans or review changes in 3D on site via mobile devices, while the property industry will able to market and sell properties more effectively, with 3D model views being easily tracked. Tridify will also be providing various web viewers to enable a model to be shown in different ways to different user groups, depending on the end use and skill level. Sample demo URL and model of a summer house, created using the new option: Images attached are of the same sample model. Early adopters WSP, the multidisciplinary design company, is an early user of the new service. Part of the global WSP group, the firm offers strategic advice to the construction and infrastructure sector. “WSP uses the Tridify Web VR option for fast and effective VR creation on early design stages to ease the communication process with our clients. We are happy to see services like Tridify that make the digitalization of the construction industry easier. This innovation also opens up a great variety of possibilities for further development of VR models as BIM communication tools, also containing BIM data and not only being a pure visualisation,” commented Roope Syvälahti, Project Manager at WSP Finland Oy. Stefan Ahlman Architects in Finland, who work with SATO among other clients, have been testing the new Tridify Web VR option, as CEO and partner, Marcus Ahlman explains: “The Tridify service works well as a quick way of presenting models to clients and members of design teams, as it only needs minimal time and preparation. In our office, the short conversion time makes it much easier to use 3D models during meetings, as it’s easier to switch between different versions. Alternative methods for presenting 3D models need more work and can’t be used as easily ad-hoc as Tridify. During the design process Tridify can help visualise problems and solutions that otherwise lay ‘hidden’ in the model.”Stefan Ahlman Architects is based in Helsinki with projects ranging from large developments and city planning projects to housing projects and public buildings. Jussi Väisänen, Planning Manager at SATO Corporation, one of Finland’s largest rental housing companies with 26,000 homes for rent, said: “Before Tridify we had to use separate viewers to view the IFC models, which took time to learn and master. But now Tridify makes it not only easier and faster to publish our 3D models, it also means we can share them with a simple web link and use them in new ways across the business. Internally it will benefit marketing, sales and technical teams while externally it will improve collaboration with planners and government bodies. Being able to view our 3D plans on mobile devices is particularly powerful when it comes to marketing our homes for rent.”

NBS and Autodesk further partnership to connect the construction workflow

NBS, the leading specification platform for the construction industry, today announced a new product integration with Autodesk, which will improve collaboration and reduce errors across the design and construction timeline. NBS has added a new feature that enables users of its new cloud-based specification platform, NBS Chorus, to instantly export a list of submittals from a specification in one click and import them directly into leading Common Data Environments (CDEs), including Autodesk’s BIM 360®. Submittals are an essential part of the construction process and if managed incorrectly can cause problems for contractors. Connecting the data sets between NBS Chorus and BIM 360 greatly reduces the risk of human error by eliminating the need to manually copy or re-key information, and allows for better collaboration between architects, specifiers and contractors. The partnership between NBS and Autodesk is already enabling users to work smarter and more safely. The integration of NBS Chorus and Autodesk Revit® allows users to develop their model and specification simultaneously, which greatly reduces the risk of information becoming out of sync. “We’re thrilled to be continually working with Autodesk,” said Sascia Elliot, head of partnerships, NBS. “There’s a huge opportunity to help our customers work smarter and safer by integrating CDE’s with NBS Chorus. By transforming what was once a timely and manual task to a simple click of a button, this integration with BIM 360 will not only improve accuracy and time efficiency, but will help us work towards a safer industry” “Autodesk is committed to empowering the construction industry to be more productive,” said Josh Cheney, industry manager, construction technology, Autodesk. “Our work with companies like NBS enables customers to improve their data flow across the construction lifecycle, and ultimately build better.

4 Reasons Every Contractor Should Invest in Cost Estimating Software

Despite living in our the incredibly digital world, some people prefer to stick with working methods that they’re used to. This isn’t always a bad thing—tradition goes well with consistency, making it easy to estimate and predict how successful certain projects will be. When you calculate construction costs using cost estimating software, you can help to ensure a successful and productive project. However, what if we were to tell you that there’s actually a lot of modern technology that prides itself on accuracy? This is where cost estimating software comes in. Cost estimating software that allows you to input numbers, measurements and other variables to give accurate estimates for your construction clients. Despite the programs being new technology, they are designed for accuracy. This accuracy can help bridge the gap between tradition and the future, giving you programs that will assist your company in the long run. To show you exactly why this type of application is beneficial, we’ve created a list of 4 Reasons Every Contractor Should Invest in Cost Estimating Software: 1. Calculate Construction Costs without Human Error One of the biggest mistakes companies can make when calculating estimates on their own is simply that: calculating estimates on their own. Though there are many skilled individuals who are experts at making estimates for companies, even experts can experience human error. This is why estimating programs can be helpful, as algorithms and equations are more reliable overall. 2. Programs Can Decide What is Essential When you’re working with an estimation program, you have to understand that the program itself is typically advanced enough to make personal decisions on which parts of a project are necessary. When you input certain tasks into the program, it will be able to strip options and aspects of a project that aren’t absolutely necessary, allowing you to have tighter estimates that are more in favor of the client. Because there are so many different factors to consider when building a property, it’s also good to have flexibility. By having more accurate estimates, you can ensure that clients will want to come back for more work and your company’s overall success rate will stay consistent. Though it might seem easy to simply keep track of which things are necessary, it can also be easy to apply similar settings to different projects when making multiple estimates at once, making estimate programs necessary allies. 3. Save Time In traditional scenarios, a customer changing their mind or having to adjust their request at any time can lead to many different recalculations. If you use an estimation program, this is not necessarily the case—instead of having to recalculate, you can simply adjust certain values and see the entire estimate change almost immediately! 4. Save Money At the end of the day, the most important thing about estimation software is that it will save you money. Through giving you more options, efficiency and less error, you will be able to make sure your estimates are effective and affordable. By having estimates that are leaner and more on the side of the customer, you can also drive up your engagement and gain more consistent clients. What do you think of our list? Are you a contractor who doesn’t yet use estimating software? We hope our list has been helpful so you can understand the benefits of using software to calculate construction costs!

New Wiki site is set to make BIM mainstream

On 19 June 2019, PCSG and Designing Buildings launched BIM Wiki, a free, open access knowledge sharing platform for building information modelling. The site launches with more than 150 articles already written, covering everything from employer’s information requirements to parametric modelling, and including a detailed step-by-step guide to BIM Level 2. Its creators are calling on the industry to help develop the site into a comprehensive source of BIM best practice by contributing new articles and engaging with the existing content. BIM Wiki has been launched in response to research published by Designing Buildings in 2017 that showed BIM remains an isolated subject, the domain of expert practitioners and not well integrated into the rest of the industry. This was confirmed by the recent NBS National BIM Report, which pointed to the emergence of a ‘two speed industry’, with 22% of those yet to use BIM saying they would rather not adopt it at all. PCSG Chairman, Mark Bew, said: “From our work around the globe it is clear that the UK’s progress to becoming a true digital economy for the built environment has made a fantastic start. The legacy of the 2011 Construction Strategy created a firm understanding of the scope and opportunity for change in the industry. Level 2 BIM has now been adopted around the world, and many nations are accelerating their uptake with the release of ISO 19650. “However, there is still much to be learnt, shared, and adopted before we can truly say we are ready for the next stage of this journey. A vital part of this process is connecting the people and organisations who are embracing a digital, data-centred, collaborative approach to practical, clear, and accessible information. This is why Designing Buildings Wiki and the free resource it represents is so valuable. I believe that the BIM Wiki will, going forwards, play a hugely important role in our continued digital journey.” BIM Wiki is a development of Designing Buildings Wiki, and is fully linked to its 8,500 articles and easily accessible by its 6.5 million users. This integration with an established and well-respected industry knowledge base will help take BIM processes beyond the realm of specialists. Gregor Harvie, Director of Designing Buildings, said: “The discipline that BIM processes impose on the industry needs to become a normal part of every project, not an optional extra. Having a common understanding and a common language is crucial to achieving this. What we are launching today is just the start, we are calling on the BIM community to engage with BIM Wiki, to add to and improve it, to debunk BIM myths and create a truly-comprehensive knowledge base that is fully integrated into the wider industry.” You can see BIM Wiki at: www.designingbuildings.co.uk/BIM_Wiki To create an article, just click the orange ‘Create an article’ button, and to add it to BIM Wiki, tick the ‘BIM’ category at the end.

How Modern Technology Has Improved The Construction Industry

Apart from modern technology having a positive effect on our environment, online gaming and even the great introduction of NoviBet, it has also had an improved effect within the construction industry and the results have been lifesaving. The world is expanding; the need for more resources increasing and the construction industry busier than it has ever been before. This has made it necessary for construction workers to reap the benefits of the very thing that has made it necessary for more buildings, malls, hotels and the like; modern tech. Taking a look under the hood of modern tech shows us why and how it has played a positive role within the inner workings of every scenario involving construction and buildings. Safety and Security The use of modern tech has reshaped the construction industry in terms of workers safety and security. Construction work is incredibly hazardous and workers have even been known to receive danger pay, more money for more life threatening tasks. Imagine operating from the very top of a scaffold, or imagine working on constructing the world’s tallest buildings facing severe weather conditions. Modern technology has allowed for the manufacturing of tools and equipment which have the ability to reach the same heights that humankind can. Rather than risking a life, tools can be used to do the work of men and women. Speed Unlike living in the 1800’s or even two decades ago, buildings are constructed faster than they ever have been in the past. Not only are buildings quicker to piece together but more workers can be employed and put onto a manageable payroll. Being able to manage and hire more staff reduces the time it takes to build these sites. Efficient The use of modern tech has also enables us to build more energy efficient buildings thanks to the use of solar panels and greener building. As the planet is continuously striving to improve or living conditions to benefit the environment, building demands become more necessary rather than wanted. Using Construction scheduling software also helps increase speed and risk management at your job site. With a good software package, you can achieve a 75% increase in execution certainty and a 40% increase in planning efficiency. Along with the ability to schedule and analyze your project’s risk in real-time and better understand the possible outcomes of the project, you’ll be armed with everything you need for the most efficient construction project you’ve been involved with yet. Software and Mobile Applications The software solutions that have been developed for the intended purpose of building developments and construction includes mobile accessibility which allows users to garner a better understanding of what is required for the project. For example, preconstruction and scheduling can be streamlined into a productive projection which is necessary to determine the length and the difficulty of constructing modern and efficient buildings. Being a mobile application, users are usually allowed to edit and change docs with all changes being made in real time for a more accurate prediction of what is to be expected in terms of constructing what is desired. As modern tech progresses and changes, we know it is heading into a more positive era than it currently stands in today. This gives many something to look forward to while benefiting from the positive aspects of this tech. Construction and building is necessary to keep our economy efficient, but we need to keep our environment safe also and modern tech allows for this.
