Like i mentioned to Martin, Jon Brouchoud and I would be happy to give a streaming presentation from Second Life on how we used a prototype 3d-wiki to help facilitate an open-source approach to designing a competition entry for the Open Architecture Network.

The following link will give you a little more detail on the project:

Look forward to meeting virtually. ;)

Having been a practitioner who has lead the development on an industry wide toolkit; The Strategic Forum for Construction Integration Toolkit (http://www.strategicforum.org.uk/sfctoolkit2/home/home.html) and seen it grow in use (6000 page hit's in July). I'd like to ask people what should we do next to open it up to even more use and value for all industry practitioners? I'd be happy to give a few minutes on what's going on in collaboration terms in built environment construction and why (advesarial relationships/process etc.) by way of intoduction.; ▶ Reply to This

AMEE is an open source carbon calculation engine that forms the back-end to the UK Government's Act on CO2 calculator, and Google's UK carbon footprint project. BRE and the Energy Savings Trust are also clients (AMEE is provided as a web service via API). We're now working to input SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) methodologies into our calculations engine. We're strong supporters of the UK Green Building Council's recent call:

"the standards at the heart of a new Code for Sustainable Buildings should be ‘open source’, meaning that such a Code could potentially be incorporated into a range of different tools, from a range of providers who could then compete in terms of service provision, without confusing the industry with different standards."

We're still learning a lot and we'd love to come along to Be2Camp.

I also think Usman Haque from http://www.pachube.com should be speaking, and I've emailed him to suggest it.; ▶ Reply to This

Usman Haque of Haque Design + Research is the instigator of this project and I am one of the developers working on it. He unfortunately is not able to attend this event, but I am happy to stand in and make a short presentation about it and share some insights of using it. We are using the system on an UrbanBuzz project currently on a test-site in the London Docklands.

Like yourself I am a supporter of the UKGBC call for the Code for Sust Bldgs to be open source. You may be interested in a post I made to my blog recently. In addition I would welcome the opportunity to discuss AMEE with you in more detail and how it can be used to support carbon calculation on small projects.; ▶ Reply to This
