Digital Technology in Heritage

6pm registration for 6.30pm start
 
AgilityEco is at the forefront of applying digital technologies to advance energy efficiency and low carbon interventions in the built environment. Alongside BRE, our urbaneer project is pioneering the use of cutting-edge monitoring technology to gather energy and environmental data in residential blocks. We use this to provide rich information on the energy use and comfort of residents, which in turn can help to: diagnose the root cause of problem buildings; optimise low carbon retrofitting; and look after the health and wellbeing of vulnerable residents. When complete, urbaneer will help landlords develop an accurate understanding of how energy is used in tower blocks, improve overall building energy performance and reduce high energy bills for residents.

Leading consulting engineers Arup have been supporting us in the urbaneer project. We wanted to let you know about an exciting event they’re hosting next week to explore how the application of digital technology can enable new and more effective ways to work with heritage assets in their planning, preservation and regeneration. Digital technology specialists from a number of disciplines will talk about current and emerging best practice and we think you may find this event interesting. 

Places are limited - full details of how to book your place are below.

Arup Event invitation: Digital Technology in Heritage
Monday 19th October 2015
6pm registration for 6.30pm start
 
From 3D scanning to Big Data dashboards and drone surveys to BIM, digital technology is transforming the way that we understand and communicate about our heritage assets, but how can we get most value from these new data streams?
 
For the first event in Arup’s Cultural Heritage week we are bringing together our digital technology specialists from a number of disciplines to talk about current and emerging best practice, and how we are helping our clients to make the best use of it.
 
We will explore how the application of digital technology can enable new and more effective ways to work with heritage assets in their planning, preservation and regeneration. We will be showcasing a mix of established and innovative approaches and how these can help to unlock new insights, more informed decision-making and a better understanding of the value of a project.
 
There will be an opportunity for networking over drinks and light refreshments following the event.

If you are unable to attend please feel free to share this invitation with a colleague whom you think might be interested.

What is Arup's Cultural Heritage Week?
2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the International Council on Monuments and Sites, an organisation with which Arup has strong links. This is an appropriate time to showcase Arup’s heritage related work and our commitment to promoting the cultural heritage agenda globally. To this end we are focussing the week of 19th to 23rd October 2015 on a series of events under the broad themes of discovering, preserving and revitalising heritage.
