ABSTRACT:
Inspec ons of facades, roofs and other appurtenances of buildings in New York City are essential for public safety and for maintenance and repair of the City’s building stock. Complying with inspection requirements presents several challenges to building Owners, the professionals conducting the inspections, and to the contractors that provide equipment and access to the facades during inspection.
This presenta on will describe current state of the art technologies such as drones, and so?ware that employs Point Cloud and Artificial intelligence (AI) to gather data in support of façade inspections and monitor the long-term health of the building’s envelope.
We will discuss the state-of-the-art technologies, the legislative landscape, and the potential of these technologies to improve efficiency and support the efforts of architects, engineers, and facade consultants. Also, we will hear feedback regarding these technologies from the perspective of building owners.

- Using drones to inspect building facades, roofs, etc.
