Conference Call Notes (1IF9)
- The "official" 3-5 founding members - Conveners (1J77)
- As recommended by Ontolog Forum, between 2 and 5 participants (need multiplicity of participants to go to if there are questions or issues). Group began with March email. Is just the initial people who started this effort, a plurality, not a one-person show. No one becomes "the" leader. Roles may change, this is documentation to minimize points of contact. The larger charter group is really what will make things happen. (1J7U)
- TobyConsidine (1J7V)
- DeborahMacPherson (1J7W)
- MichelleRaymond (1J7X)
- BobSmith (1J7Y)
- RexBrooks (1J7Z)
PeterYim - suggestion - "Conveners" and "Founding Members". One requirement may be participation or regrets for kick-off meeting. (1J80)
Encourage participation from Finith, Fabian, and some folks from NIST. Will send an announcement to fic-bim list at National Institute of Building Sciences and others to be discussed. (1J81)
- Kickoff Meeting Scheduling and Content (1J67)
- Schedule Date: Monday June 30 or Monday July 14, same time (avoiding the 4th of July weekend)BobSmith urges for the July 14 date, get as many threads connected as possible. RexBrooks and DeborahMacPherson concur. More time to reach out to others who express interest. (1J82)
- Date is 2008 July 14 - 1:30-3:30 EDT/10:30-12:30 PDT/14:30-16:30 UTC. (1J83)
- Two hours is allocated to allow more time for introductions and discussion. (1J84)
- Announcement will be completed this week. (1J85)
- Confirmation of the Building Service Performance (BSP) Project (1J6B)
- ''Short History"" (1J86)
- Adoption of the Project Charter, which includes Mission Statement (1J6D)
- Mission statement is shorter (elevator speech, first paragraph to pull out "this is who we are"); charter is how to make mission happen. The two work together to explain how goals are achieved. To consult with OASIS process, a charter is required, we have added a mission statement. The announcement will include, wordsmithing should go to conveners prior to kick-off to incorporate prior to the call. (1J87)
- Viewpoints into Building Service Performance (1IFD)
- [slides will be available for download before the kickoff time, 5 to 7 minute presentations] (1J0H)
- Architects View - DeborahMacPherson (1IFE)
- Facility Managers View - TobyConsidine (1IFF)
- Environmental Impact View - BobSmith (1IFG)
- Emergency Response View - MichelleRaymond (1IFH)
- Project Participation (1IFI)
- Project association with "buildingSMART Alliance" organization (1J6H)
- buildingSMART is under National Institute of Building Sciences, the BSP effort fits nicely in the Visualization, Simulation, and Analysis (1J88)
- DekeSmith leader of buildingSMART has spoken for OntologForum - will add link - (1J89)
- Sent a message to MichelleRaymond, also TobyConsidine has met Deke Smith at a conference and he would like to get linked up (1J8A)
- Follow up with Bill West, in charge of putting together this large directory of organizations working in this domain space. (1J8B)
- Should form be filled out before or after kick-off? BobSmith will follow up. (1J8C)
- Is a positive to connect with buildingSMART. (1J8D)
Agenda & Proceedings (1J8Z)
- A Service Performance Index for Building Owners and Building Users: "Healthy Office Building Index" (1J6J)
- TobyConsidine added to page, BobSmith explains - similar to the LEED scorecard. Meet or exceeds building service criteria, make it possible to have a conversation between Owner, Architect, Commissioning Agent "I would like to achieve 86 points for 1.35 cents per square foot by July 2009" Assemble a composite index for life safety, fire safety, and more domain ontologies that are out there, but are not meeting up with each other. Specify an index number for comfort and efficiency like R-value, specify in contracts and proposals. (1J8E)
- This is a concept being brought forward, it is a goal. (1J8F)
- The metric may be some way off but the point is to start. How LEEDS and other certifications tie in are a subject in and of itself. (1J8G)
- DMacP: NIST traceability, commissioning all part of design, how to get them to last? (1J8H)
- FinithJernigan: Several federal doing high level dashboard kinds of things, there are metrics being developed. Should talk with the Coast Guard. BobSmith says get the conversation out of the silos. Are sophisticated systems for interrelating those metrics that are new. (1J8I)
- MichelleRaymond: Perhaps we should consider every other week, once a month a specific topic. Bringing together an amalgamation, next week more general. Every other is more extended with panel or speaker, or once a week, the once a month focused topic. Will put out into the list tomorrow as a discussion item, so everyone can look at availability. (1J8J)
- BobSmith: Imagine a time line of 4 to 6 months. Themes that are going to be covered in a forward looking calendar, populate given the content and depth of the content. (1J8K)
- FinithJernigan: Talking about a critical issue. There is such a difference between what people have been exposed to in this process - should be an educational learning excerize to get to the goal - not a general discussion but step by step process. (1J8L)
- BobSmith - maturity modeling, smart codes, city council people, disagreement about what a city wants, capital projects controlled at local level, need a better baseline. (1J8M)
- Meets market criteria for "perceived cost-fee sustainability" (1J6K)
- Meets Jaimie Clark's ideas of "Lurching towards Standards and Interoperability"; (1J6L)
- Project Planning Map (1J8R)
- Finith: IDEF or mind map this towards - here is our end game. Will identify the subjects need to have education on. There are a number of tools, need a process map. (1J8N)
- DMacP: Is there a standard? Working on similar for NBIMS Consensus Team, 3 of us are working on maps to discuss at next meeting. (1J8O)
- Lets have everyone do a map to put on the work space - have that as a discussion in 2 weeks. The bigger picture of BSP - the forum, how do you get this work done? (1J8P)
- DMacP: Will send out questions, who has what software to create and manage these diagrams (1J8Q)
- Everyone should try to look at FlyingLogic.com (1J8S)
- Visio, FreeMind, C-Maps, OmniGraffle, SemTalk, Compendium, GraphicIBIS (1J8T)
- See previous messages about FLIPP explainers (1J8U)
- Whatever is used, can be extracted into text only (1J8V)
- Over next 2 weeks will think about this. (1J8W)
- Look at open knowledge advocacy groups, keep the focus on open technology (1J8X)
- OpenKnowledge Foundation may be aligned, see http://okfn.org/wiki/OpenVisualisation/Workshop (1J8Y)
- Short Term Projects supporting Service Connectivity Decisions and Results (1J6N)
- Clarification of Identified Clients for Building Service Performance Metrics (1J6Q)
- Integrating Roles of facility systems performance within a BIMStorm World (1J6T)
- Possible workshop participation at BIMStorm Vancouver, other venues (1J6U)
- Valuating Potentials for Automated Demand Response in Peak Power OR Emergency Events (1J75)
- NIST-Golden Guardian Exercises and Building Simulation http://www.ibpsa-germany.org/index.php/Simupedia/en (1J6V)
- Constructing A Landscape Diagram showing Building Service Allies and Trend Convergence (BIM, GIS, Green Power, Sustainable Materials) (1J6W)
- (Kimon Onuma has a BIMStorm slide showing a large number of BIM organizations and processes. Michelle has started a more detailed diagram showing relationships, especially timelines and common failpoints in current practice). (1J6X)
- Current Standards Work in Data Exchange between Building Systems and Fire Service Information Devices (1J6Y)
- Constructing A Simple Ontology of Building Service Performance in relation to associated resources and the "homes" of those resources based on OmniClass with mappings to MasterFormat and UniFormat depending on task (1J71)
Next schedule is the 30th, on 23rd will add one, EDT 1:30 to 3:00 standing meeting next week. Othel volunteers for notes, BobSmith will chair. (1J92)
Talk to everyone then! (1J90)
Starting to head in the right direction. (1J91)
