eComply – The future of automated planning?
Introduction to the future of automated planning and what it
means for your industry.
eComply is a 3D automated planning and assessment tool. It is primarily
designed to speed the assessment and delivery of homes meeting the Small lot
housing code in Victoria. By leveraging BIM, eComply seeks to encourage broader
industry adoption of technology by offering immediate productivity gains at the
front end of the project cycle rather than at its handover. eComply was a
government lead initiative from Digital Twin Victoria (DTV). It has been road
tested by industry and developed by one of Australis leading generative design
startups, Archistar.
The event will provide further detail of the origins of eComply,
the issues it seeks to address and the possibilities it opens. It will provide
participants with hands on experience and guidance on how to start
participating in this exciting digital twin era.
To gain the most out of the event:
Participants are advised to bring their laptops (not mandatory) and work
through a provided SLHC design within the publicly available eComply platforms
known as Archiland. This will provide a firsthand experience as to the benefits
automated planning reviews could offer their practice.
Although not mandatory, prior to the event participants
are encouraged to:
- Register to the Archiland platform (https://archistar.ai/archiland)
- Self-navigate through the platform and if game enough,
follow the steps as outlined in the top right hand play button to follow
the steps in how to submit your own house design.
- On the day, those who bring their laptops and have
registered will be supplied a specific IFC file of an example
SLHC
- Archistar Generative Design Lead, Anycie Barakat, will
join us on line to guide you through the submission process with this
sample file
After the event, an Archiland expert user will be made
available to answer any questions that Designers may have if they have embarked
on attempting to submit their own design file within the system or wish to ask
any further technical query.
