Welcome to the BILT Academy Podcast!Our nineteenth episode has been curated by our guest BILT Academy correspondent and previous BILT Academy Podcast guest Mark Wieringa. This month's podcast is the 2nd in our 4 part series on Open Source, and in this episode, Mark interviews Jon Mirtschin.  The BILT Academy team has started into a busy new year with not only pressing deadlines educationally as well as professionally, but the team is also very busy behind the curtains to shape a program for the BILT Academy Summit. So, Mark who was scheduled to co-pilot this episode with David took the initiative to support the team by taking on the lead on the open-source subject. Which turned out to be quite a journey of insights, vision and core knowledge. Since all interviewees have provided the BILT Academy with elaborate information we’ve decided to dedicate to each interviewee a podcast episode that will be airing within the first half of this year. For this episode, mark partnered up with a long-time collaborator and inspiring veteran of the open source community, a source of deep knowledge and founder of many open source tools and initiatives. Mr. Jon Mirtschin of Geometry Gym. Here are this month's interviewees: Jon Mirtschin, Director of Geometry Gym.You can find complete episode notes on the BILT Academy WebsiteWe return on February 24th, with an episode about generative design.We also have some exciting news to share with you!

Welcome to the BILT Academy Podcast!Our seventeenth episode has been curated by our BILT Academy correspondent David. This month's podcast is a BIM Technology podcast, and in it, David interviews industry expert Mark WieringaDavid has been reading a lot lately about data exchange and the limitations we experience in the building industry when using specific or multiple technologies that don't correspond directly which leads to data exchange that is inaccurate. Learning more and more about IFC and BCF, I wanted to learn what is open source exactly and who is driving this? For that very reason, I invited Mark Wieringa of Bimforce in the Netherlands a fierce advocate of the open-source use in the AEC industry, for a chat.Here are this month's interviewees: Mark Wieringa, Co-Founder and Information Specialist at BIMforceYou can find complete episode notes on the BILT Academy WebsiteWe return on December 17th when we continue our deep dive into the topic of open source.

Welcome to the BILT Academy Podcast!Before we get into this month's podcast, we want to celebrate our first year 1 year of Podcasting, and to begin year two with this month's Episode 14.  We also would like to thank BIM Track for coming on board for another year as our official Podcast Technology  Support. Thank you! Our fourteenth has been curated by our BILT Academy correspondent David. This month's podcast is a BIM Technology podcast, and in it, David interviews two industry experts about coding and more specifically visual programing.In this month's episode, with coding becoming more and more part of a daily workflow for practitioners in the built environment we decided to take a deeper dive. We found that for a variety of reasons such as to automate repetitive tasks or to overcome any complex surfaces, coding is becoming more and more popular in the AEC industry. With this in mind, David was wondering what visual programming tools are out there and which ones are most commonly used and, in this podcast, we highlight 2 of those, namely Dynamo and Grasshopper.Here are this month's interviewees: Jostein Olsen, BIM Specialist Visual Programming at Sweco.Luis Fraguada, 3rd party Developer Support at McNeel Europe.You can find complete episode notes on the BILT Academy WebsiteThe upcoming episode in July will be our last one before our summer break for August and September, returning in October.

Welcome to the BILT Academy Podcast!Our Thirteenth episode has been curated by our BILT Academy correspondents Daniel and Julia.  This is the second episode of our two-part podcast series on sustainability. For this month's part two, we continue following up on our sustainability topic and tune into Academia and Science for their practical solutions.Providing AEC experts with assessment methods to evaluate the environmental performance of buildings represents a large challenge over the past few decades. On one side, the topic itself is mainly beyond the designer’s expertise and tools, and the workflows lack the ability to provide quick and significant results for design scenarios and as-is assessment. Consulting with environmental engineers as experts takes time and money. Thinking of energy simulation, we commonly include operating systems and leave out production and fabrication processes of materials. In order to evaluate material selections, the Life Cycle Assessment has been identified by European policies such as the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) to be THE method to make environmental assessment throughout all building life cycle stages possible and valid. In order to dig deeper into this topic, Daniel and Julia, interviewed Daniel's colleague at TU Graz in Austria, Dr. Marcella Saade, to provide us with deep insights on this subject matter. Dr. Marcella Ruschi Mendes Saade is a Tenure track Assistant Professor at the Technische Universität GrazSome resources from this episode:TU Graz press releases on Sustainability: "Sustainable Construction": Austrian Association for Building Materials & Ceramic Industries endows TU Graz professorship Climate-Neutral TU Graz - TU Graz Overview: Sustainable Systems - TU Graz Profiles and Contact Details Dr. Marcella Ruschi Mendes Saade: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marcella-Saade https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcellasaade/ Researches: Main forum: https://annex72.iea-ebc.org/ A research paper co-authored by Dr. Marcella Ruschi Mendes Saade with colleagues from Annex 72: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2019.114107 Check out more of Dr. Marcella Ruschi Mendes Saade publications here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marcella-Saade You can find complete episode show notes on the BILT Academy WebsiteBe sure to tune in for our next episode on June 24th, 2021, a technical podcast about coding.We would also like to thank our Podcast Technology Sponsor BIM Track for thePodcast Technology SponsorBIM Track: The communication platform for BIM coordination.
