  1. Overview of the need for regulatory streamlining & FIATECH’S ROLE GENERIC PRESENTATION FROM THE FIATECH REALTIME PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND REGULATORY STREAMLINING ELEMENT 6 - JANUARY, 2012

  2. Project management & regulatory streamlining – TEAM Members • Board Liaisons: Steven Makredes, Target & Kevin Hart, Kaiser Permanente • Streamlining Project Steering Committee: - Ron Loback, Avolve – Chair & Element 6 Roadmap Champion Lead - Thomas Phillips – Target – Vice Chair - Jonathan Widney – Solibri - Marla Schuchman – ARX – Lead Digital Seals Project • FIATECH Project Manager - Robert Wible

  3. GENERIC OVERVIEW OF Regulatory Streamlining • The Nation’s Current Regulatory System & Need for Regulatory Streamlining • Helping Both the Public & Private Sectors Be More Effective & Efficient • Areas in Need of Streamlining • Examples - Current FIATECH Regulatory Streamlining Projects: - Guideline for Replicable Buildings - ePlan/BIM - Digital Seals - Proof of Concept AutoCodes MAY WE BE OF ASSISANCE?

  4. NATION’S CURRENT REGULATORY SYSTEM • Federal Government • 50 State and 4 Territorial Governments • Native American Tribal Governments • 40,000 local jurisdictions – Counties, Cities, Towns & Townships • Regional & Special District Regulatory Authorities for – Fire, Water, Sewer, Conservation, Historic Preservation, Economic Development, etc.

  5. CURRENT REGULATORY SYSTEM – NATURE OF FEDERALISM • Limited Federal Authority • Police (regulatory powers) generally reserved to States except for those powers specifically related to Interstate Commerce - Transportation – Air, Water and Federal highways & the Environment • All other powers by 10th Amendment are reserved to the States and their local units of government.

  6. CURRENT REGULATORY SYSTEM Grew from Colonial Times – Simple regulation construction & commerce • 13 Colonies to 50 States & 4 Territories • Nation of 2.5 million to 310 million Complexities of technology & modern life: health, welfare & life safety including the environment

  7. NEED FOR REGULATORY STREAMLINING FROM EARLY 1900’S TO PRESENT TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN COMPLEXITY - From Simple regulations over construction, interstate commerce, fire safety, and public health to: • Highway construction, operation & maintenance • Energy production and use • Water, sewer, storm water runoff & pollution • Content of products & their production & use • Recycling & disposal of waste • Health and safety of workers • Transportation of hazardous & oversized materials

  8. REGULATORY OVERLAP AND DUPLICATION BY Agencies at all levels of government • EXAMPLES IN ROAD TRANSPORTATION: - What is being transported? - Over what kind of road – Federal, state, county, local road? - What are width and load limits for each type of road and for bridges encountered along the transportation route? - Are any of the components of what is being transported classified as a hazardous material by Federal, state or local government? - Where are vehicles doing the transportation licensed? Who inspects them? - Are “Escort Vehicles” required to accompany what’s being transported? Do different states, local jurisdictions transited along the route have different requirements for escort vehicles?

  9. Regulatory streamlining – the need GIVEN SEVERE RECESSION & NEED FOR MORE RAPID RECOVERY FROM BOTH MAN-MADE AND NATURAL DISASTERS NATION CAN NO LONGER AFFORD A REGULATORY SYSTEM THAT WAS BUILT IN MID-1900’S & IS: • Cumbersome, overlapping, poorly administered • Does not delineate clear lines of authority & jurisdiction • Leaves compliance to guesswork and repeated re-applications, reviews and inspections • Long waiting periods between each regulatory step • Presents barriers to innovative products, processes & materials NOT ABOUT REGULATORY ABANDONMENT BUT ABOUT EFFICIENCY!!!

  10. For example – the building regulatory process

  11. FIATECH REGULATORY STREAMLINING PROJECT - MISSION • Enhance our nation’s public safety, disaster resilience and economic competitiveness… • By streamlining and applying information technology to the nation’s regulatory process… • Making it more effective and efficient – clarifying compliance and reducing time in regulatory process by up to 80%

  12. The USA is awash in Regulations & paper • “Streamline permitting. • Cut red tape so job-creating construction and infrastructure projects can move forward.”

  13. Enabling New ways to work ePlan Review DIG-SIGs Replicable Buildings Guideline Replicable Buildings Guideline AutoCodes

  14. Replicable Buildings Guideline • Participants: Target Corporation, DuPont, Intel, Avolve Software, Solibri, ICC, Salem, OR; Clark Co., NV; Salt Lake City, UT • RBG Status: • Key to large-scale regulatory reform • Defines “replicable” structure qualifications • Adoption parameters (high-level) • Guideline Drafted by FIATECH in 2009 and Released by ICC for adoption/use Sept., 2010 • Supporting adoption by jurisdictions in 2010 -11 • Target Corporation field-testing and reports

  15. Replicable Buildings Guideline • Keys elements • Single review for all but site specific issues • Repeatable process, check lists • Provides authoritative review for validation • Top-down and bottom-up adoption • Case studies (and more case studies) • Being adopted now by NY, NJ, & localities across U.S. SAMPLE SAVINGS - TARGET STORES $100,000 PER STORE IN DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

  16. DIGITAL SEALS PROJECT • PROBLEM BEING ADDRESSED: Only ½ of 50 States and most countries do net yet recognize digital seals on building plans slowing the use of ePlan review technologies • PROJECT APPROACH: Identify barriers to gaining jurisdiction approval of digital seals and produce a Guide to Using Digital Seals that FIATECH members and stakeholders can use to work with administrative and legislative bodies to gain approval e-seal approval • PROJECT TEAM & LEAD: ARX – LEAD, Participating members: Hatch, Avolve, Solibri, Target, Kaiser Permanent – Partner - AIA • PROJECT DELIVERABLES: Research, Produce, Disseminate Guide , Identify several jurisdictions to target to gain acceptance of digital seals. - Produce and Release in 2012

  17. Autocodes – Expedited permitting via digital reviewphases I and ii - update and status report 60 DAYS TO 60 SECONDS!

  18. AUTOCODES PROJECT OBJECTIVE • Mission: • Make plan review, storage, retrieval more efficient reduce plan review time by 80% • Facilitate use of BIM data in both the regulatory & construction processes • Create greater uniformity across the nation in code adoption, interpretation and application

  19. Autocodes – update – Phase iA • Phase I – Background • Scope • Objectives • Methodology • POC Implementation and status • 2D Plan Review Collection Results • Number of respondents • Number of comments (gross, average) • Spread of the comments • Analysis of responses

  20. POC participants – 14 Voluntary Partners • ICC – Chicago • States • New Jersey • New York • Counties • Mecklenburg, NC • Cities • Bend, OR • San Jose, CA • Livermore, CA • Redwood City, CA • Irvine, CA • Salt Lake City, UT • Amarillo, TX • Carrollton, TX • Houston, TX • Philadelphia, PA

  21. Bend ✪ State of NY ✪ ★ State of NJ ICC - Chicago ★ ★ Salt Lake City ★ Philadelphia Livermore Redwood City San Jose ★ ★ ★ ★ Irvine Mecklenburg County, NC ★ Amarillo ★ Carrollton ★ Houston

  22. Autocodes update – Phase ia (continued) • 2D Plan Review Data Analysis • What we learned • Vs what we expected • What we didn’t expect • GAP Analysis between respondents • Did not anticipate the need for this, so really a positive development • What to do with this information? • Approval if issues corrected? • If NO, why not?

  23. Snapshot of comments

  24. Autocodes – phase ib - underway • 3D Model Review • Check against current SMC Rulesets • Modify Templates Accordingly • Identify 2D components in 3D model • Inform Target Corporation of Model Discrepancies • As compared to 2D • As required for viable checking • Creates a model protocol by-product

  25. Autocodes – Phase ib (Methodology) • Invite three jurisdictions to participate in 3D Checking • Provide Technology and Familiarization Sessions to Participants • Provide Rulesets to Jurisdictions • Modify Ruleset Templates for Specific Jurisdictions

  26. Autocodes – phase ib – current status • Collaborate with participants in running Accessibility and Egress Check • Record process and approaches for intent v content understanding • Generate results • DEVELOP Jurisdiction Report Format

  27. Autocodes – phase ib – looking ahead • Review results from Jurisdiction Model Checks • Compare results for consistency • Generate a GAP analysis • Complete by 15 December 2011 • Use results to influence Ruleset development • Discussion - The ROI ecosystem

  28. Autocodes – phase ii – Beyond the poc • Area of next focus • Expanded use of Accessibility and Egress Rulesets – different building types • Fire & Life Safety • Mechanical & Engineering (M&E) • Engage with Phase I Jurisdictions + Expanded Audience • Design Firms, GC’s and MEP firms • Owners and Code Consultants
