President’s Message

February. For some, that word conjures up thoughts of cold weather. For some it means Valentine’s Day. For the last 9 years of my life, February has become synonymous with the Chattanooga CSI Product Show.

Once again, it is that time of year. February 19, 2009. Do you know where you need to be? The Chattanooga Choo Choo for the 22nd annual Chattanooga CSI Product Show.

The Product Show is something very close to my heart. It is the first thing I was involved in with CSI – from helping with name tags to eventually chairing the show. It is an excellent opportunity to fill your binders with the latest updates on materials and methods. It is also a great time to see old friends.

We have two offerings for seminars that are current subjects of interest. BIM – Building Information Module – Collaborating Across Disciplines is being presented by ALACAD and a new committee in Chattanooga, The Green Committee, along with some from GreenSpaces, will share with us and answer questions about what is upcoming in “green building” for the area.

The show itself is a sell out and we are very excited. The vendors are looking forward to it and we need to make sure that the ballroom at the Choo Choo is full of representatives of the construction industry. Please make plans to attend and please tell people you work with about it too.

I hope to see you on February 19th at the Choo Choo.

UTC’s CSI Student Chapter is bringing the silent auction back to the product show this year! In years past, we have held a silent auction to raise money for the Bethany Clariday Scholarship given out every year in the Department of Interior Design.

This year, not only are we raising funds for the scholarship, but also for the Green Library to be housed at Greenspaces. The CSI student group has been collecting donations from businesses around Chattanooga for months now and are excited with all of the donations that have been received! A few examples are from Chili’s, World Market, Lazyboy, Stickey Fingers, Plum Nelly, Jet Stream Grille, and so many others!

CSI Student Chapter’s Silent Auction at the Product Show

Session 1: Begins at 3:00 pm

Completing the BIM Model – Collaborating Across Disciplines (1 hr)

Presented by: Mike Massey, V.P. Architectural Design Solutions for ALACAD

Buildings consist of more than architectural items. Today’s MEP systems and Structural components can make buildings complex. Compiling these into one model will give you a competitive advantage over other firms, by finding coordination problems in the design phase rather than out in the field. Find out how to collaborate your Revit Model with your consultants.

We will discuss typical workflows between disciplines, how to Share and Link the Revit model, coordinating changes, and running interference checks. These tools will help provide immediate competitive advantage, better coordination and quality, and can contribute to higher profitability for architects, engineers, and the rest of the building team.

Session 2: Begins at 4:00 pm

The Chattanooga Climate Action Plan

Presented By: Chattanooga Green Committee At 4:00 pm members of the Chattanooga Green Committee will present the Chattanooga Climate Action Plan. The plan represents a year of collaboration between the Green Committee, the public and regional and international experts. The plan includes 47 action items aimed at helping Chattanooga decrease its carbon footprint and protect the city’s vital resources. The document contains several action items related to the built environment, high performance buildings, energy efficiency and green industry. For a taste of what will be included in the Committee’s presentation visit www.chattanooga.gov/chattanoogagreen and download a copy of the Chattanooga Climate Action Plan.”

4th Annual Chili Cookoff Highlights

Cold Weather and Hot Chili was the theme of the day at the 4th Annual Chili/Soup and Dessert Cookoff. The competition was fierce with entries like Chuck & Cheryl’s “Kick’in Steak Chili”, Brian’s “BC Get your Sexy On Seafood Gumbo” and Guy & Tina’s “Jack Daniels Pumpkin Party Soup”, just to name a few. It was all for a good cause with the proceeds going to the Marshall A. Hildebrand Scholarship Fund. All the folks in attendance tasted the entries and voted for the Winners. The Chili/Soup category ended up in a tie with Bruce & Bobbie’s “Vegetable Bonanza” and Chuck & Cheryl’s “Kick’in Steak Chili” taking home the prize. In the dessert category it was Anna’s “Ooey Goey Butter Cake” that no one could resist. Honorable mention goes to Cheryl for her Mexican Cornbread and Chuck for his (also kick’in) Bloody Mary’s!!

.identity: the name or essential character that identifies somebody or something, the distin-guishing character or personality of a group

I'm sure you have heard about Facebook and LinkedIn, two examples of social networking and professional networking websites. The idea is intriguing; members have what amounts to their own websites, where they can have their own blogs (online journals where the owner and visitors can post comments), upload pictures, list friends/contacts, and provide contact and employment information, all of which are visible to visitors. These things have been possible for some time, but mostly for those who paid for website design. What's different now is that networking sites require no knowledge about websites, HTML, or programming. If you have Internet access, you, too, can have a web presence. And you don't even have to pay for it! With all the existing websites and blogs, a growing number of social and professional networking services, and the new micro-blogging and messaging services like Twitter, Pidgin, and 8hands, it's hard to know what to use, what to avoid, and where to look for information. The ease of use makes these new technologies irresistible, and the number of users is growing at a tremendous rate. Is this a good thing? Technology itself is neither good nor bad. A knife can be used to prepare food or to murder someone; a word processor can be used to write poetry or pornography; a computer can be used for online banking or to steal money from a bank. I see valuable uses for nearly all new technology, but I also know that it isn't necessary to use all of them all the time. In the early '70s, the term appropriate technology came into vogue. The idea was to use the technology most effective in accomplishing the task at hand, not necessarily the newest or coolest technology. Yes, you can kill a fly with a nuclear bomb, but a flyswatter does the job with readily available materials and infinitely less cost. The same thinking can be applied to computer technology. What is the most effective way to contact other people? It might be instant messaging, but it more likely would be a phone call or e-mail. What is the most effective way to make your contact information known? It might be a

social networking site, or it might be an old-fashioned letter on paper - or a face-to-face meeting. What is the most effective way to promote your business? It might be a professional networking site, or it might be a website. In each case, it is important to choose the most effective technology, to provide exactly the information you want to make available, and to control that information. You may find ads for Chryslers in magazines and newspapers, on TV and radio, and on the Internet, but you can be sure that each of those ads was approved, if not created by, Chrysler's main office, to present a specific image regardless of the medium. In contrast, CSI has a chaotic Internet presence that does little to tell the world who we are or what we do. A brief search of the Internet will reveal many sources of information about CSI. CSI websites:

Primary Institute websites include CSINet.org, CSI Wiki, and CSI Blog. CSINet has a discussion forum, and the Blog is another.

Secondary Institute websites include MasterFormat.com and GreenFormat.com.

Ten region websites. We should have 148 chapter websites, but the

Institute website indicates there are about 110. LinkedIn groups include:

Construction Specification Institute CSI - Construction Specifications Institute CSI Specifiers Practice Group 5 more identified as CSI chapter groups

Curmudgeon's Corner; the many faces of CSI by Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA

Continued on page 14

Volume 39, Issue 6

Facebook groups include: Construction Specification Institute CSI - Emerging Professionals CSI – Students CSI- Construction Specification Institute (CSI at A&M) 5 more identified as CSI chapter groups

And then there is 4specs.com, the unofficial online hangout for specifiers for many years. LinkedIn and Facebook groups each host discussions, so we now have about twenty CSI discussion sites. If someone asks a question about certification, or makes a suggestion for improving CSI on a Facebook site, will CSI staff see the question or comment and give the correct response? CSI websites, as far as I know, have been authorized by Institute, region, or chapter boards of directors, and are official sources for information. Some LinkedIn and Facebook sites have been started at the direction of CSI, but others appear to have been started by individuals. We don't need to have everything on every site vetted by CSI staff, but all sites should be monitored to make sure they accurately represent the organization. Should CSI groups be allowed on LinkedIn or Facebook? Should CSI, its regions, or its chapters have both websites and LinkedIn or Facebook groups? Yes! These services provide easy informal communication between members, and are a great place to post documents, links, and pictures that otherwise would not be seen by members. However, all sites should clearly indicate their purpose and the degree to which they represent CSI, as done on Facebook and LinkedIn sites administered by CSI staff and host chapters. I have written before about the importance of keeping websites current. A visitor who sees under "coming events" a meeting that took place two years ago is unlikely to return. Another thing that influences visitors is the amount of activity on the site. The more sites there are, the less each will be used, and some will die. Unfortunately, dead sites usually remain online, giving the impression that the host organization is dead. Many members have observed that we do a poor job of promoting CSI and what it does, and the Institute Board of Directors has been discussing branding for some time. If anything, the number of social and professional

networking sites will grow, and if we're not careful, CSI's presence and message will become more diffuse and incoherent.

Networking sites can be fun and useful, but let's take a good look at what we're doing, and make sure we use them to CSI's best advantage.
