Photo courtesy CDP Commercial LLC. By Brendan Van Gool The primary function of a wall system is to act as an environment separator. For the last 50 years, the components and design of cavity wall systems have undergone a significant transformation in North America. Higher energy efficiency, more stringent fire safety requirements, sustainability, durability, and better overall performance are driving design changes, and consequently, a shift in requirements to satisfy codes and standards.

In this installment of Wit and Wisdom for Well-Being, we bring you: curiosity. If you’ve ever had a conversation with a 3-year-old, you have likely been through the scenario of being asked “why?” over and over (and over) again. While this can be frustrating for some and it’s unlikely that a 3-year-old can truly understand the complexities behind some of the answers to their questions, it doesn’t mean that we can’t learn something from these engaging little toddlers.

We can all agree on the importance of data, but raw data is practically useless unless it’s digestible and actionable. For teams to extract value from data, they must first make sense of the information they have—which is where data visualization comes in. Construction projects involve massive amounts of information and documents, including BIM models, schedules, budgets, and performance reports.
