Description
Biodiversity net gain is rapidly becoming a regulatory requirement across global markets, yet most assessments still rely on disconnected spreadsheets, manual calculations, and static reporting creating risk, inefficiency, and limited design insight. In this session, Ramboll will share its "nature as an asset" perspective and explore evolving biodiversity frameworks across the United Kingdom, European Union, and United States. We'll examine limitations of traditional workflows and demonstrate how Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud), integrated with ArcGIS, enables geometry-driven habitat unit calculations via Ramboll's Biodiversity Calculator. Discover how digitalizing biodiversity assessment enables proactive, data-informed design improving accuracy, transparency, and long-term project value.
Key Learnings
- Discover the limitations and compliance risks of spreadsheet-based biodiversity net gain assessments.
- Learn how to translate biodiversity regulatory frameworks into geometry-driven digital workflows using Autodesk Forma and ArcGIS data.
- Compare and validate manual versus automated habitat unit calculations in terms of time, accuracy, and auditability.
- Learn how to incorporate biodiversity metrics into early-stage site design to support regulatory submissions and environmental reporting.
