“Net zero energy buildings”

Recent Pike Research report projects

Because of the recast EU EPBD Directive and similar legislation

in other parts of the world, such as Japan

Worldwide revenue from “net zero energy building” construction

will grow at an annual rate of 43% over the next two decades

$690 billion by 2020

Greening the building/infrastructure market

Globally $6-7 trillion annually

Today 6% qualifies as “green”

In 2020 75% will be “green”

Green buildings and infrastructure driven by regulation, owner and

investor demands, resource cost, security concerns, and third party

standards.

UK National Infrastructure Plan

http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/national_infrastructure_plan2011.htm

The National Infrastructure Plan brings together the first

ever comprehensive cross-sectoral analysis of the UK’s

infrastructure networks and sets out a clear pipeline of

over 500 infrastructure projects. worth over £250 billion

over the next 5 years.

The Government will use all the tools at its disposal to

facilitate the private investment that will finance the

majority of the UK’s infrastructure.

£400 billion over next decade

Target 70% private funding

Planet Labs

April 2013 - Planet Labs launched two demonstration satellites, “Dove 1” and “Dove 2”

Early 2014, Planet Labs will launch 28 mini- Earth observing satellites at 400 km.

The satellites will provide frequent snapshots of the planet, allowing users to track

changes—from traffic jams to deforestation—in close to real time.

The satellites will send their images to at least three ground stations—two in the U.S.

and one in the U.K. The data will be processed and uploaded for use by customers

almost immediately.

Skybox Imaging

http://www.skyboximaging.com//

Plans to launch a constellation of 24+ satellites that will capture high-resolution imagery

and the first ever HD-video of any spot on earth, multiple times per day.

Skybox will capture the planet on a near real-time basis to provide a tool for addressing

global challenges in areas including security, humanitarian efforts, and environmental

monitoring.

Geospatial is changing how we design and build

Between The Poles

Traditional design

0,0 coordinate system

Between The Poles Between The Poles

Shannon McElvaney, ex Construction GIS Manager

“Designs delivered in a 0,0 coordinate system are uninformed,

and miss out on the wealth of information available to support

better decision making.

“With geolocated BIM models we could do solar energy modelling for PV panels,

energy performance modelling, transit accessibility, shadow casting, and much more.

“The property developers needed to know proximity to stations, value of real estate,

floor space, proximity to amenities, and they used this information to value the real

estate and forecast their return on investment.

The sustainability group needed to do the same, in order to calculate their GHG

emissions, energy, water, and waste needs.

BIM and GIS integration is essential to be able to do this."

Ann Kemp, Head of BIM, Atkins Global

“BIM and Geospatial are firmly inter-linked – and that the

advancement of BIM relies, in part, on integrating

geospatial skills and technologies into BIM solutions.

Carl Steinitz, Harvard Dept of Landscape Architecture

"It is clear that for serious societal and environmental

issues, designing for change … is inevitably a

collaborative endeavor, with participants from various

design professions and geographic sciences …

Between The Poles Between The Poles

Some companies get it, at least at a high level

“Hexagon Geosystems' geospatial measurement

technologies are used in planning, construction

and maintenance of infrastructure.”

“Trimble’s mix of hardware, software and mobility

technologies streamlines communication and

collaboration throughout the construction lifecycle,

from planning, design and site preparation

through to the finished project.”

Geodesign is a “collaborative endeavor, wth

participants from various design professions and

geographic sciences, linked by technology.”

Paraphrased from Carl Steinitz

Two cultures

Anne Kemp, Atkins on the BIM/geospatial divide

At a Government construction summit and a designer

demonstrated an immersive environment - visuals on aall sides

including photogrammetry, video, CAD drawings, and BIM

models and showing junction diagrams and CAD drawings in

real world coordinate space.

I said this is GIS and he said “well yes it is actually,

but we don't call it GIS.”

Urbanization and environmental issues

-> massive investment in infrastructure

Less government money

More private investment requires returns

Drives investment in technology

Convergence of geospatial and design

Increasing general awareness that convergence of geospatial and

design is essential

Two cultures – find it hard to engage

Geospatial community has recognized the need, but has found it a

challenge to engage with the construction community

Construction community is using geospatial data (esp imagery),

but not recognizing it as GIS/geospatial and the greater

opportunity that geospatial data and technology bring

Opportunities for geospatial professionals

Challenge for AEC educational institutions to

broaden their curricula to include geospatial

Convergence is transforming business
