2013 Energy Track, Global Trends Driving the Integration of Geospatial and BI...GIS in the Rockies
Urbanization is occurring at an unprecedented rate representing the largest impact humans have had on the planet. Governments are devoting less of their limited funds to capital infrastructure projects and are looking to the private sector to fill the funding gap. This is driving a focus on construction productivity. Worldwide one third of energy usage is used by buildings. Faced with environmental issues many governments are mandating energy-conservation measures for buildings and for infrastructure. These trends are driving investment in technology. In construction which represents 10% of world GDP, the adoption of building information modeling (BIM) has accelerated in the last decade primarily motivated by the need to reduce the risk of budget and schedule overruns. In addition increasingly architects, engineers and designers are realizing the value of integrating geospatial data and technology into the model-based design process. The integration of geospatial not only addresses specific vertical industry problems such as a mandated low carbon footprint, but also enables a more holistic approach to the major challenges of designing more resilient cities.
This document provides an introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its relevance to audiovisual professionals. It discusses that BIM is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a building that can be shared across stakeholders.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

3. What is a Building Information Model?
National BIM Standard Definition of BIM
– A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and
functional characteristics of a facility. As such it serves as a shared knowledge
resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during
its life-cycle from inception onward.
– A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different
phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in
the BIM process to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder. The BIM is a
shared digital representation founded on open standards for interoperability.

4. Why Should I BIM?
BIM can deliver…
• A facility sooner As of FY 08 GSA and
• A lower cost higher quality facility DoD BRAC projects are
• A facility with few or no change orders to delivered in BIM
• A significant reduction in RFI’s
• A more energy efficient facility
• A more sustainable facility
• A more environmentally friendly facility
BIM is only the tool
• Build building electronically before you build it physically
• Collect information once by authoritative source
• Re-use information throughout the facility lifecycle
• Cut out non-value added effort (waste)

11. H.R.3221
Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act of 2007
(Engrossed as Agreed to or Passed by House)
(7) HIGH-PERFORMANCE GREEN BUILDING- The term `high-performance green building' means a building that, during
its life-cycle, as compared with similar buildings (as measured by Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey or
Residential Energy Consumption Survey data from the Energy Information Agency)--
(A) reduces energy, water, and material resource use;
(B) improves indoor environmental quality, including reducing indoor pollution, improving thermal comfort, and improving
lighting and acoustic environments that affect occupant health and productivity;
(C) reduces negative impacts on the environment throughout the life-cycle of the building, including air and water pollution
and waste generation;
(D) increases the use of environmentally preferable products, including biobased, recycled content, and nontoxic products
with lower life-cycle impacts;
(E) increases reuse and recycling opportunities;
(F) integrates systems in the building;
(G) reduces the environmental and energy impacts of transportation through building location and site design that support a
full range of transportation choices for users of the building; and
(H) considers indoor and outdoor effects of the building on human health and the environment, including--
Objective is to reduce energy consumption and lead transformation of markets
12. Federal Security Standards
GSA and DoD developed separate security standards and apply them
differently, both standards have tremendous impacts on public space,
transit, communities, and best use of land.
They may have significant conflict with other design objectives.
Blast is a significant design challenge
13. Alexandria - Why a BIMStorm?
• Long term economic growth based
on eco-friendly and sustainable
development
• Alexandria rebalancing commercial
and residential tax base
• Direct Alexandria BRAC loss
actions impacts approximately 7%
of workforce and leases in
Alexandria (7,200 jobs, 1.4 million
square feet)
• Alexandria needs 5-10 million SF of
office space designed to federal
facility requirements to attract other
federal agencies
• Building Information Modeling is
rapidly changing the traditional
process of design and analysis

15. Alexandria Pre-BIMStorm
• Alexandria real estate opportunities
not well known within federal
government
• Alexandria was a “Flat World” – no
3D buildings and no presence on
the web
• Community recovery strategy not
defined
• City staff and community
experience with PTO demonstrated
new paradigm and possibilities to
integrate federal agencies into an
urban environment
• Federal government desire for
First BIMStorm to be in a hotel transit oriented development,
and team environment, city staff energy efficient buildings
and SMEs in real time
16. Federal Friendly ZonesTM (FFZ’s)
Alexandria has many areas, neighborhoods and parcels that can meet these requirements,
however, the process by which the federal government advertises, acquires and operates the
commercial office lease space can conflict with many community objectives. The concept of
the Federal Friendly Zones is to identify areas and sites that can support the federal
requirements and become part of a larger integrated land use decision. Within each FFZ,
there are three types of utilizations:
• Federal campus
• Single Federal Occupied Building
• Single building with federal agency as a tenant (dispersed)
Working with the local neighborhoods and federal agencies, a new approach can be
developed to ensure the community grows and prospers to achieve mutually beneficial results
(such as transit oriented development, Eco-City, enhanced water and air quality, etc.).
Another key objective of the Federal Friendly Zones is move from a Protection oriented
process (using bollards, barriers, street closings, etc) that impact the streetscape and public
space, to a Resiliency, Redundancy, and Recovery model that relies on enhanced police,
fire, emergency management and community preparedness to respond to events (whether
natural or man made).
17. Alexandria BIMStorm FFZ Objectives
• Educate stakeholders on new requirements and capabilities
• Demonstrate virtual planning, design collaboration, speed to market
• First BIMStorm to use real sites, real requirements, intensive GIS
