Steel construction: BOM Revit is pretty scarce in providing meta-data to Inventor through the import process. Other than color and geometry, there is not much information transferred. Especially with steel construction elements, it is tantalizing to see that although the profile of beams is standardized and many are identical in size, Inventor fails to recognize these as identical in data sets such as the one shown in the image above. How to increase the intelligence of the imported data? The answer is: by using the Inventor API. The macro (available in the handout material), provides More representative browser names with less browser clutter BOM quantity (total cut length of beams) Better bitmap preview in BOM Note that creating preview bitmaps is a slow operation. You would need 1 hr to fully 500 Revit components with the macro. Steel construction: default behavior Let’s step back a bit and examine more closely what the default import results are. Browser names Bland (generic) names BOM No length information All have QTY =1 No thumbnail preview Generic names in the browser No preview and useless unit quantity information Parts list/Balloons In the drawing environment, we have a similar story. No grouping of similar parts whatsoever. Steel construction: after applying macro Here are the changes the macro offers.

Energy Efficiency Pathway: Building Energy Codes Note: Red, italicized text provides instructions to complete the template. Blue text describes the template fields that need to be completed. Black text represents model or example responses, as they might be filled in by a state. Summary of Key Facts: State X Building Energy Codes Following completion of sections 1-5, provide a high-level summary in the final column of this table. The first two columns can be drawn from the February 2016 State and Local Energy Efficiency Action Network document . Key Issues General Summary State-Specific Summary FEASIBILITY: Can building energy code adoption and compliance help achieve GHG and criteria air pollutant reductions in the required time frame? • Yes. They reduce the amount of electricity generated, and fossil fuel consumed, at EGUs. Reduced energy demand yields emissions reductions. They also reduce use of onsite heating fuels. Section 1 APPROACH: How can a state achieve energy savings from codes? • Adopting current versions of foundational model building energy codes. • Adequate funding for code compliance activities. • Measuring compliance rates every 3 to 5 years. • Education and training for the building industry and codes officials. Section 1 IMPACT: What energy savings and emission reductions can building energy codes achieve, and are the savings permanent? • Compliance with robust energy codes permanently decreases a building’s energy consumption for the life of the measures. • Resulting emissions reductions vary with amount and timing of energy savings and EGU emission profiles. Values can be determined with simple estimates or detailed modeling. Section 2 RELIABILITY: How are the energy impacts of building energy codes documented? • Independent evaluators assess savings through surveys of construction activity, inspections, review of energy Section 3

Notice periods vary depending on where the event is being held and how many attendees the event is being organised for. The following table provides guidance but we ask that you Contact the Events Office with your proposal to check whether there is adequate lead time for the planning and consents to be put in place. TYPE OF EVENT NOTICE PERIOD REQUIRED APPLICATION PROCESS being held on private land/on private property but needing a licence for licensable activities e.g. Alcohol/Regulated Entertainment/Late night refreshment Temporary Event Notice application submitted with 10 working days’ notice Premises Licence will be granted after 28 day consultation period. Contact venue/landowner to obtain permissions for event, then apply to council for licence Event for up to 500 people in a council venue 12 weeks Submit an Event Application Form, EMP, Public Liability Insurance and a Risk Assessment Event for up to 500 people using a council owned outdoor space, Parks 12 weeks Submit an Event Application Form, EMP, Public Liability Insurance and a Risk Assessment Event for between 500 and 2000 people using a council owned outdoor space 16 weeks Submit an Event Application Form, EMP, Public Liability Insurance and a Risk Assessment for over 2000 people 24 weeks Submit an Event Proposal Document as an overview and arrange a meeting with the Events Officer Event for over 4000 people 36 weeks Submit an Event Proposal Document as an overview and arrange a meeting with the Events Officer EMP: Event Management Plan The advice would be to contact Croydon Council as soon as you can. The number of events held in venues/open spaces is restricted during each year to allow their general use by the residents and visitors of Croydon. It is also recognised that some events, even though classed as ‘small’ with under 500 people attending, could have an impact on the local neighbourhood or need additional consultation with our Safety Advisory Group Members so they may need extra lead time.
