Become the building: Mission workshop

The conversation has begun. Now it's time to participate. While the first session introduced the vision of AI-ready building teams, this interactive workshop transforms understanding into experience. Participants will step into active roles within a live operational mission, working directly with owners, practitioners, technology providers, and AI to discover how trusted operational intelligence is built through collaboration.
Join the second session of the Become the Building™ series on September 16, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET for "Become the Building: Mission Workshop." This hands-on workshop moves beyond theory to immerse you in the collaborative framework that will define the future of intelligent building operations.
Meet your mission leaders:
Kimon Onuma, FAIA, President of ONUMA, Inc. and Founder of BIMStorm (Moderator). Kimon will guide participants through active mission scenarios, demonstrating how each contribution strengthens the operational intelligence ecosystem that extends through Greenbuild and beyond.
Zahra Ghorbani, PhD, Senior Digital Design Manager at Massport. Zahra will facilitate interactive exercises that reveal how operational knowledge develops through sustained collaboration, helping participants experience the transformation from data to trusted intelligence.
Stephen Lothrop, Lead Electrical Engineer at PAE. Using the PAE Living Building as a living laboratory, Stephen will engage participants in real-world operational scenarios that demonstrate how collaborative problem-solving creates mission-driven intelligence.
Tristan de Frondeville, Founder & CEO of SkyCentrics. Tristan will introduce participants to integrated operational platforms and AI-enhanced tools through hands-on exercises, showing how open standards enable meaningful contribution regardless of technical background.
Experience the mission framework in action:
You'll engage in interactive operational scenarios where you take on specific roles within real-world building challenges. Working alongside fellow participants, you'll solve problems that demonstrate how individual knowledge transforms into shared understanding. You'll witness AI-assisted decision-making in real time and gain hands-on experience with the collaborative tools you'll use at Greenbuild.
Who should attend:
Whether you're an architect, building operator, sustainability consultant, facilities manager, technology integrator or organizational leader, this workshop provides the experiential foundation for building AI-ready teams. This isn't a passive webinar, it's an active mission where you'll contribute, collaborate and experience how sustainable operational intelligence emerges when trusted participants work together.
