The Society of Building Science Educators is thrilled to invite you to our second quarterly seminar series! The featured panel of experts— John Straube and Keith Simon—will share their insights on building enclosures in building science education. Join the discussion on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM Pacific (PDT) to celebrate the solstice and […]
Did you know that advanced lighting controls could result in an average of nearly 70% lighting energy savings? Unfortunately, there is an industry-wide knowledge gap about how to utilize advanced controls to capitalize on energy savings and ensure buildings run at peak performance. To address this gap, Slipstream was awarded a grant by the Department […]
While building physics largely are based on Newtonian principles, physics outside of the built environment have been moving toward quantum mechanics. This presentation will start to see environmental factors through the lens of quantum mechanics. It also will include future bioclimatic elements and how the above may inform facade design. Learning Objectives Learn how quantum […]
As architects and planners seek to maximize the use of all available space, the next generation of low-slope roofs are not only waterproof coverings, but platforms for assets such as solar panels, green roofs, water storage, and amenity spaces. With so much value tied up in our roofs, their resilience is more important than ever. […]
This session will explore the importance of well-defined Asset Registries and precise Asset Definitions in the development and implementation of digital twins. It will introduce new concepts, methodologies, and standards for structuring and managing asset information to support the integration of enterprise systems. By enhancing these definitions and registries, organizations can optimize asset data usage, […]
Only 7% of U.S. students and jobseekers actively seek work in the construction industry, according to a new study conducted by Dodge Construction Network. Despite this, the study also reveals there are several opportunities to increase that share. Join Donna Laquidara-Carr, Industry Insights Research Director with Dodge, as she discusses key findings from the study […]

In this session, TwinKnowledge will discuss a new type of digital twin that has emerged with AI, cognitive digital twins (CDTs), and their implications for the AECO industry. Cognitive digital twins enable O&M workflows that are supported end-to-end by AI. They are built on top of existing digital twins; they use AI to make sense […]
As an increasing number of homes are built in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), it is important to understand how residential construction performs when exposed to wildland fires. WUI zones are the areas where wildland – forests, chaparral, grassland, etc., meet or mix with human development. Home hardening is a term used to describe purposeful actions […]
