Housing Affordability Hearing
The National Institute of Building Sciences recently held a three-part public hearing, bringing together veteran building industry experts to discuss the state of housing affordability.
Affordable housing generally is defined as housing where the occupant pays no more than 30% of gross income for housing costs, including utilities. According to Pew Research Center, a rising share of Americans say the availability of affordable housing is a major problem in their local community. In October 2021, about half of Americans (49%) said this was a major problem where they live, up 10 percentage points from early 2018. In the same 2021 survey, 70% of Americans said young adults today have a harder time buying a home than their parents’ generation did.
NIBS will publish a report of hearing events and key findings in early 2024.

Decarbonizing the Built Environment: Improving Building Performance through Regenerative Design
Join AIA in this live course about decarbonizing the built environment through regenerative design and high-performance buildings, addressing the 40% of US energy consumed by buildings. Learn to retrofit existing structures, with 82% of US commercial buildings built before 1999. Dive into the latest research and case studies covering various building types and climates. Discover how existing buildings fit into urban resiliency plans. Hosted by the Building Performance Knowledge Community (BPKC), this course equips you to identify net-zero energy building types, master regenerative design for retrofits, explore sustainable design techniques through case studies, and contribute to urban resiliency.

Accelerating Digital Transformation with the U.S. National BIM Program
The U.S. built environment has yet to realize the full benefits of digital transformation. NIBS is leading the development and dissemination of next-gen practice standards and processes for the built environment. The U.S. National BIM Program will provide a step-change in capacity, creating a platform and community to support the next phase of digital innovation.
In this session we will outline the framework of the program, including its core values and goals, as well as the industry workgroups identified to achieve success. We'll also explore the five-year plan for the program (past, present, and future), the purpose of the workstreams, and the connection to specific stakeholder groups.

Cyber-Physical Impact Modeling Webinar
The risk profile of current and emerging cyber threats to commercial and institutional building sites cannot be overstated. Sites include and may not be limited to critical utilities such as electric, water and waste management, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, airports, stadiums, office buildings, prisons, and courts. Protecting these sites from bad actions or errors from employees can minimize outside takeover of operational systems, risk to loss of life, personal injury, and harm to the environment. Threats are being orchestrated by increasingly sophisticated bad actors that can include nation-states, terrorists, organized crime syndicates, and other individual or sponsored hackers. This panel will review a framework architected by a non-profit entity called BuildingCyberSecurity.Org to assign a risk assessment score at each site using a method called cyber-physical impact modeling (CIM).
This approach serves to incentivize comprehensive enhancement of technology, processes, and training to respond to a rapidly evolving cyber-physical threat. The strategic intent is to achieve the highest short- and long-term reduction of risk and cost that may be triggered by a disruption or adverse alteration to building operations, per highest emphasis on hazard mitigation from personal injury, loss of life, and harm to the environment. Core to each CIM is harmonizing existing government frameworks, such as ISA/IES 62443 and the NIST Tier Model and convert for private industry adoption, as per application of subject matter expertise in: a). Building Management Systems; b) Telecom networks; c). Artificial Intelligence; d). Data science; e). IoT sensors; f) Environmental health and safety policies; and g). Digital twins for virtual interactions and behavioral mapping to understand and apply correlations to targeted business outcomes. A resulting learning curve provides decision makers evidence-based logic to optimize risk reduction with workplace satisfaction and financial outcomes. It is the intent of this panel to foster a collaborative and forward-thinking discussion to drive positive change in the building sector.
Learning objectives:
- Understand that the risk profile of current and emerging cyber threats to undermine the functional, operational, and safety needs of occupants and owners of commercial and institutional buildings cannot be overstated.
- Discover the need for a trusted cyber-physical framework for scoring the risk profile to protect building management systems and reduce risks to life, safety, and health for protection of employees and visitors.
- Gain understanding and access to implement a market-driven cyber-physical framework (CIM) created by cyber-secure stakeholders to improve physical citizen security and safety.
- Understand that the strategic intent of this framework is to achieve the highest short- and long-term reduction of risk and cost that may be triggered by a disruption or adverse alteration to building operations, with the highest emphasis on hazard mitigation for personal injury, loss of life, and harm to the environment.

How to use BIM to achieve your sustainability goals
The digital transformation in the built environment continues to profoundly impact the industry. Innovations like AI, IoT, Digital Twins, Robotics, Smart Cities, and BIM are reshaping how the built environment is designed, constructed, and maintained. BIM, as a collaborative information management process, enhances efficiency throughout the lifecycle, ensuring data informed decision making at each stage. It promotes collaboration among engineers, owners, architects, contractors, and building operators.
This approach is vital for data-driven sustainability initiatives, offering transparency and control over building systems, including water, energy, and waste usage. This webinar explores how BIM elements can enhance sustainability in the built environment.

Building Technology and Retrofits
Building Information Management and Modeling are two keys to unlocking the success of existing building retrofits. Implementation of these strategies and tools optimizes the design and construction process. Building Information Modeling has the capacity to coordinate numerous types of data input, such as energy models and 3-D design, which offers architects, engineers, and contractors the ability to visualize and simulated projects before they are built. In turn, this gives them the ability to control and track their projects in a highly effective manner. Sustainability and resilience retrofitting are possible via the use of various cutting-edge technologies and tools.
Join us, as our expert panel discusses the use of building technology (e.g. digital twins, BMS, IoT) and how these technologies help achieve sustainable and resilient retrofitted buildings all while achieving ratings and certifications in shorter periods of times.
