Fai 1 * 1 Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS), Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada - (lchow, kgraham, tgrunt, mgallant, jraferio, sfai)@cims.carleton.ca KEY WORDS: Heritage Building Information Model, Level of Detail, Model Tolerance, Level of Accuracy, Data management ABSTRACT: In this paper, we explore the evolution of modelling practices used to develop three significant Heritage Building Information Models (HBIM) on Canada’s Parliament Hill National Historic Site — West Block, Centre Block, and The Library of Parliament. The unique scope, objective, and timeline for each model required an in-depth analysis to select the appropriate classification for Level of Detail (LOD) and Level of Accuracy (LOA). With each project, the refinement of modelling practices and workflows evolved, culminating in one of our most complex and challenging projects — the Library of Parliament BIM. The purpose of this paper is to share ideas and lessons learned for the intricate challenges that emerge when using LOD and LOA classifications including trade-offs between model performance, tolerances, and anticipated BIM use. In addition, we will evaluate how these decisions effected managing the digitization, data processing, data synthesis, and visualisation of the models. 1. OVERVIEW monument.

District Energy Space 2019
■ North America District Energy Space 2019 Spotlighting Industry Growth 2019: More than 180 million square feet reported Over 2.5 billion square feet reported since 1990 District■ North America Energy Space 2019 Industry Growth Around the World Dedicated to the growth and utilization of district energy as a means to enhance energy efficiency, provide more sustainable, reliable and resilient energy infrastructure, and contribute to improving the global environment. The publication of District Energy Space has become an annual tradition for the International District Energy Association (IDEA) since 1990. Compilations beyond North America were initiated in 2004. This issue features a compilation of data provided by our members including the number of buildings and their area in square feet that have been committed or recommitted to district energy service in North America during calendar year 2019, or previously unreported for recent years. Each year, IDEA asks its member systems to provide information on buildings that committed or recommitted to district energy service during the previous calendar year. To qualify for consideration in District Energy Space, a renewal must be a contracted building or space that had been scheduled to expire during the calendar year and was renewed under a contract with a duration of 10 years or more. Year-to-year rollover--simple continuation of service to existing buildings is not considered renewal. Established in 1909, the International District Energy Association serves as a vital communications and information hub for the district energy industry, connecting industry professionals and advancing the technology around the world. With headquarters just outside of Boston, Mass., IDEA comprises over 2,400 district heating and cooling system executives, managers, engineers, consultants and equipment suppliers from 25 countries. -

Ottawa, Ontario West Block Parliament Hill HERITAGE CHARACTER
Ottawa, Ontario West Block Parliament Hill HERITAGE CHARACTER STATEMENT The West Block was built in 1859-65 to the designs of Thomas Stent and Augustus Laver, architects. New wings designed by the Department of Public Works were added in 1874-78 and 1906-09, and major interior renovations designed by Mathers & Haldenby of Toronto were carried out in 1961-65. Public Works and Government Services Canada is the custodian department. See FHBRO Building Report 86-52. Reason for Designation The West Block was designated Classified because of its exceptional importance in terms of historical associations, architectural quality and environmental impact. Designed to accommodate the civil service, the West Block is directly associated with the substantial role played by the administrative arm of the federal government during the country's formative years. Together with the 1859-65 wings of the East block, and the Library of Parliament, the West Block ranks with the best mid-19th century Gothic Revival buildings in the world. The product of three separate building campaigns, it presents an essay in the evolution of the Gothic Revival style from mid-19th century to the early 20th century. In addition to being a national landmark in its own right, the West Block plays a critical role in establishing the overall character of Parliament Hill and strongly influences the character of the west end of Wellington Street. Character Defining Elements The heritage character of the West Block resides in its picturesque massing, footprint, structural ornament, finish materials, and in surviving portions of the 19th and early 20th century interior plans, features and finishes. -

AR applications have been used in museums and gallery exhibitions and virtual reconstructions of historic interiors. However, the circumstances of an outdoor environment can be problematic. This paper presents a methodology to develop immersive AR applications based on the recognition of outdoor buildings. To demonstrate this methodology, a case study focused on the Parliament Buildings National Historic Site in Ottawa, Canada has been conducted. The site is currently undergoing a multiyear rehabilitation program that will make access to parts of this national monument inaccessible to the public. AR experiences, including simulated photo merging of historic and present content, are proposed as one tool that can enrich the Parliament Hill visit during the rehabilitation. Outdoor AR experiences are limited by factors, such as variable lighting (and shadows) conditions, caused by changes in the environment (objects height and orientation, obstructions, occlusions), the weather, and the time of day. -

West Block Restoration
™ The Canadian Parliament Buildings - Ottawa, Canada West Block Restoration Cintec West Block Restoration The West Block was constructed between 1860 and 1865. In 1897 the building was damaged by fire. The West Block is one of the three buildings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario that forms the Parliamentary precinct. The West Block after renovation now houses offices for Parliamentarians, a branch of the Library of Parliament, committee rooms, and some preserved pre-Confederation spaces, which are used for some state occasions. All Canadian laws now originate here. The world has changed radically since the Parliament Buildings were completed. The stone buildings, although repaired over the years, had begun to deteriorate. Cintec first started work on the west block in 1994 when Cintec reinforcement anchors were installed in the south west tower by Public Works based at Plouffe Park Ottawa. Since then, the West Block has been fully restored and modernized. This is a write up of our involvement in the restoration of the West Block. ©Cintec Worldwide ™ The Canadian Parliament Buildings - Ottawa, Canada An $863 million project to completely renovate the West Block began in 2011, and the renovated building opened on 28 January 2019. Major repair and restoration work has been carried out to ensure that these historic buildings continue to serve Canadians for many years to come. The restoration of the West Block of Parliament is one of the largest rehabilitation projects in North America. The 19th-century building was completely modernized with state-of-the-art facilities, while the heritage and character-defining elements were preserved with the utmost respect and sensitivity. -
