0 Carbon: Precise Carbon Footprint Calculation and Optimization Using Intelligent Model and Carbon Database for Sustainable Construction

Our clients’ specifications are more and more demanding, as governments ask for architecture, engineering, and construction industries to improve their carbon footprints and reduce energy consumption. In France, we need to reach “Carbon Neutrality” by 2050, and this can only be done if major construction companies like VINCI Construction decide to use powerful tools to optimize their projects. Using web applications like Time To Beem, we’ve managed to successfully reach our French clients’ specifications. We’ve also achieved a 50% time savings on our sustainable development engineering. These platforms allow us to upload an intelligent model and quickly assign a carbon footprint to all objects. By extracting quantities and the carbon footprint, we can then have the effect of each discipline and precisely decide on how to make more efforts. Theoretically, we should be able to build a very large database to train artificial intelligence (AI) models and create better and better designs!

Digital Asset Tracking and Inventory

This session will look at how Boustead Projects implements processes for monitoring and tracking prefabricated elements. It involves overseeing design approval before fabrication, as well as the real-time tracking of asset location and status with the use of QR codes. This real-time tracking facilitates the generation of accurate status reports for project stakeholders. For mechanical and electrical equipment required for testing and commissioning (T&C), each named asset is tagged with its T&C status, which is then documented in the intelligent model data. This data includes parameter values like equipment site label, site location, and system description, which are used for the respective unit on-site. Internally, Boustead Projects uses Assets to track the lidar scanning statuses based on rooms per level, keeping management informed about the progress of lidar scanning activities.

How We Transformed Our Closeout Process with Autodesk Construction Cloud

Everyone loves closeouts, right? Said no one ever. Finishing a project is tough—making sure everything's installed, punch lists are completed, permits are closed out, and everything's clean ... and don't forget the turnover package. In addition to closeout being one of the most difficult phases of a project, the way you finish a project is the last impression you leave with a client, further amplifying the pressure to succeed. This session will explore how Brinkman Construction implemented Autodesk Build software and Pype Closeout to help improve its closeout processes. This class will cover topics that focus on how Autodesk Construction Cloud tools streamlined Brinkman's process with fewer tools, saved time over traditional workflows, enabled turnover tasks to start sooner, increased visibility, and helped drive accountability.
