Of course it could -- it already has. But first lets recap the Solyndra saga. Solyndra is the solar panel manufacturer in California that qualified for a $535 million federally-backed loan. Since receiving the loan, the price of solar panels has plummeted - good news - which has squeezed the margins of manufacturers like Solyndra. The result: two weeks ago, Solyndra announced bankruptcy.

Schuylkill has to be one of the weirdest words to spell. Try spelling it without looking – I guarantee you won’t get it. I always thought it was an Indian word but after reading somewhere on the internet, I learned that it’s actually Dutch, named by its Dutch discoverer. Either way, it’s hard to spell, however, it is typically a good place for recreation.

On Wednesday, August 24, I attended a meeting of the DC Green Building Codes working group.

The manner in which Revit reacts to Instance Parameter changes to families you place has changed from version 2011 to 2012. In the past Revit regarded the changing of an instance parameter as though it was more important than the default value the family is supposed to use. This meant that any future families placed would use the value entered instead of the default value.

Here's a quick reminder about View Filters, the order they appear in matters! From Autodesk's WikiHelp documentation: Note If multiple selection filters are applied to the same view, the order in which they are listed denotes priority. The selection filter nearest the top of the list takes precedence. (bold emphasis is mine) If you apply filters and find that you don't get the result you were after, double check the order you've applied them.

Where did we get with this ‘BIM’ thing? Many clever heads before me have recognised publicly and documented widely that the AEC industry is a highly inefficient and clumsy beast. There is ‘sort-of’ enough evidence out there to prove that applying a BIM approach to many projects within it would fix up some of the inherent issues the industry has. But then, there is the subject of cost.

I quite like the look of the BIM addendum of the Consensus301.But the LODs of AIA E202? The more I explore the concept, the less I like it. Fixed and agreed-on LODs are supposed to bring certainty to projects, instead they introduce ambiguities at multiple levels. They seem to be set up based on the assumption that there always is a process of gradual refinement from big picture to small, from bulk down to detail.
