Definining Integrated Project Delivery - IPD eConference
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD): Six Case Studies
Jonathan Cohen, FAIA, LEED AP, Principal, Jonathan Cohen and Associates
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) should be understood as a comprehensive process which addresses the entire sequence of programming, design, construction, and operations. In late 2009, AIA, AGC, and McGraw Hill commissioned six in-depth case studies of completed projects that used a pure form of IPD. The case studies show the successful application of IPD to a variety of building types in diverse regions of the country. Jonathan Cohen visited all of the case study projects, gathered metrics, and interviewed at length all of the major project participants. In this presentation, attendees will learn how each project team creatively adapted the principles of IPD to the requirements of each project, and specifically what technology professionals can take away from these experiences to help their firms transition to more efficient processes.
Exploring the Legal Implications of Building Information Modeling and Integrated Project Delivery
Jay Wickersham, FAIA, Esq., Noble & Wickersham LLP
The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is expanding exponentially throughout the design and construction industry. What are its implications for contractual relationships? Does it affect the standard of care, or responsibility for construction means and methods? Who owns the BIM model? And how does the use of BIM interact with the new business relations currently described as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)? In this presentation, the speaker, an experienced contract negotiator, will identify key legal issues arising from the use of BIM. He will also analyze and contrast the new forms of BIM addenda that have been developed by the AIA and ConsensusDocs.
Exploring the Outlook and Best Markets for Integrated Project Delivery
Jerry Guerra, Principal, The JAGG Group
The AEC industry’s current fascination with Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is exceeded only by the confusion about what it actually is. Is IPD just another name for lean construction or building information modeling? Is it really “design-build on steroids” as some say? In this session, writer and consultant Jerry Guerra will call on the extensive research conducted for PSMJ’s AEC Issue Brief: Integrated Project Delivery to discuss the various definitions of IPD, its primary drivers, and IPD’s outlook for firms across the spectrum of the AEC industry.

Designing an Energy-Efficient Future for Existing Buildings
As the nation retools in reaction to the down economy, the lack of financing for new construction continues to present challenges for the buildings sector. However, amidst that challenge, forward-thinking AEC professionals are finding opportunity as an increase in building construction expenditures are being committed to renovation of existing buildings in lieu of new construction. In response to owner demand, building information modeling (BIM) tools are further empowering AEC professionals to make better-informed design decisions to achieve greater energy efficiency in building renovation and retrofit projects.
Please join Amory Lovins, Chairman and Chief Scientist at the Rocky Mountain Institute, for a high-level overview of the sustainability movement and more specifically how the current climate is translating into new opportunities for building design professionals. In addition, industry experts from Autodesk will discuss specifics strategies and tools available for accomplishing integrative design for energy-efficient retrofits for existing buildings.

Beyond “Green”: Building Designs That Work
The successful creation of high-performance buildings demands accurate prediction of energy consumption, CO2 emissions, operating costs, and occupant comfort. In this webcast, Dru Crawley, leader of the Department of Commercial Building Initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy, will discuss how his organization is leveraging modern technology to improve building performance. In addition, Noah Eckhouse of Bentley Systems will explore how industry-leading energy design, simulation, and analysis software applications are providing today’s professionals with the necessary tools to effectively optimize the balance of function, comfort, and energy and carbon impact and help building teams sustain our environment. Both presenters will share a number of real-world design scenarios explored and validated, and discuss the realized benefits.

Collaboration and Interoperability with BIM for Structural Engineering
Today’s structural engineers, designers, and drafters are looking for ways to streamline their design process to more effectively coordinate design and documentation, easily collaborate with other disciplines, perform simulation and analysis, and diversify their services.
In this presentation, Technical Specialist for Autodesk Structural Engineering Solutions Betsy Werra will present Autodesk Revit Structure in action. She will demonstrate how structural engineers can benefit from an integrated workflow — from design and analysis all the way to fabrication — leveraging the intelligent, rich information created within a Revit design model through the process of building information modeling (BIM).
Special guest David Odeh, principal of Odeh Engineers, Inc., will discuss how BIM can help structural engineers discover new ways of doing work and enable them to stay competitive. Through case study examples, David will explain how Odeh Engineers uses Autodesk solutions for structural engineering as the basis of their collaboration technology to enhance BIM workflows throughout their projects.

WANT TO LEARN MORE?
Structural Engineering & Design hosts two types of webcasts. For one type, industry experts are invited by Structural Engineering & Design staff to present; sometimes presenters are users of the sponsor’s product or service. Sponsors are not invited to participate in the presentation. Structural Engineering & Design staff review the content in advance, ensuring that it meets our standards. This online presentation option is well suited for delivering information about industry trends, best practices, project case studies, and more.
For the other type, sponsors present on a topic of their choice. Structural Engineering & Design staff review the presentation to ensure that it meets our standards. This online presentation option is well suited for presenting the technical merits of a specified product, providing design guidance for a specific product, or training for a software solution.
Structural Engineering & Design will promote either type of webcast to its magazine and e-Newsletter subscriber database. Professionals who wish to register will be directed to the Structural Engineering & Design Webcast Series landing page. This process assures that all unsubscribe and opt-out requests are honored by Stagnito Media.
