RAIC - AI and Architecture: A Practical Guide to Quality Assurance/Quality Control Quality control is one of the most promising and least understood applications of AI in architecture. Review cycles are compressed, experienced reviewers are stretched thin, and the errors that slip through resurface later as RFIs, change orders, and field conflicts. This session offers… Read more
The AIBC Complaints Process is part of AIBC’s 2026 Fall PD Series. This session will walk through how a specific, hypothetical complaint makes its way through the AIBC’s complaints process. Discussion topics will include issues raised at the Intake Stage, mapping out the actions available to the Investigation Committee, what happens if it is sent… Read more
UNIQ Dimensions - Leveraging 3D LiDAR & Scan-to-BIM Workflows for Accurate As-Built Documentation This session explores the transformative role of 3D LiDAR and Scan-to-BIM workflows in creating high-precision as-built documentation. Participants will examine the technical science of laser scanning, comparing the applications of mobile, terrestrial, and drone-based systems to determine project suitability. We will analyze… Read more
Riverside Energy Systems - Architectural Design Considerations for Solar PV and Storage Solar PV and storage are cross-disciplinary building elements whose fundamental impacts to multiple building systems (structural, electrical, mechanicals, roofing, and envelope) merit careful design stage review. This 1-hour workshop will support architectural design teams in navigating the cascading impacts of PV integration, solar… Read more
RAIC - Designing Better Together: Early Decisions for Lower-Cost, Lower-Carbon Buildings Presented by a team of structural engineering and building performance specialists, this session will explore how early-stage, data-driven collaboration can unlock better project outcomes. Participants will be shown practical examples of key design levers architects can use to enable consultants in designing lower capital… Read more
