The coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19), the prolonged quarantine responsesand the enormous economic uncertainty are affecting the normal development of EPC contracts. EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement and Construction and is a prominent form of a contracting agreement in the construction industry. They are not only carried out in the construction sector, but also in other industries such as power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, water treatment, mining, among other sectors. The EPC model is used where an owner or employer wishes to engage a contractor to undertake the engineering, procurement and construction of a project. Normally the EPC Contractor has to execute and deliver the project within an agreed time and budget, commonly known as a Lump Sum Turn Key (LSTK) Contract.

President Biden has called for net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by 2050. Accomplishing this will require increasing efficiency, vastly increasing renewable energy capacity, and transitioning from fossil fuels to clean electricity. Buildings have a critical role to play in achieving each of these objectives. This paper proposes a framework for determining which metrics are best suited for policies to move existing commercial and multifamily buildings forward on the path toward zero carbon emissions. Choosing the right metrics is necessary for effective policies, but it is not sufficient to achieving a just and inclusive energy transition. Building performance policies — in conjunction with other complementary policies — must bring the benefits of improved performance to those living in affordable housing andhistorically underserved communities, and at the same time ensure that the cost of compliance does not create new burdens. Jurisdictions must consider the impact of policy decisions on equitable outcomes, particularly with respect to establishing performance levels, options for compliance, and penalties for non-compliance.

Bridge design is no simple matter. While traditional 3D modeling software is useful for buildings, these structures don’t present the same challenges that bridge design does. Jalpesh Patel, Senior Technical Consultant with Allplan explains why: Buildings are mainly linear, vertical structures with minimal to no obstruction. Bridges, on the other hand, are non-linear, horizontal structures that must weave through obstacles, existing structures, and multiple right-ofway restrictions.

A picture is worth a thousand words and is often able to answer the questions of who, what, where and why. Construction sites are often bustling with workers and have lots of activities happening at the same time. A picture of a construction site tells a thousand tales. Analyzing such pictures using computer vision techniques can help tell a story of what’s happening at site, which can help improve efficiency and safety, minimize risk, and monitor project-related progress. Construction companies are always looking for better project monitoring options and computer vision techniques provide more efficient, automated, round-the-clock monitoring.

Today’s product design engineers challenge the limits of computing with computer-aided engineering (CAE) applications. By accelerating the process of pinpointing design flaws and producing higher-quality, better-performing products, these applications enable manufacturers to improve designs and reduce time to market. The key to improving CAE performance and reaching key insights faster is a combination of specific 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors suited for CAE workloads, the HPE Apollo 2000 Gen10 Plus scale-out server, and close collaboration between Intel®, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and CAE application vendors

Let's face it. The world has changed and so have we. It has changed in ways that we cannot even fully comprehend yet. We do not know what the new world will look like after this crisis but we certainly know that it won't be the same as before.
