Building owners face growing requirements as well as cost-saving opportunities to improve building operational efficiency and accelerate decarbonization efforts. However, most buildings lack accurate as-built documents, let alone a digital foundation like CAD and building information modeling (BIM) that enable the in-depth energy analysis necessary for optimized capital planning. Connected technology can help answer these questions: Which upgrades will reduce operational costs? What decarbonization road map has the best ROI? How can my retrofit attract and retain quality tenants? Join us as we demonstrate a proof of concept that uses rich building data digitalized in an Autodesk Tandem model of an existing building, and that unlocks energy analysis capabilities via EnergyPlus using the Setmetrics platform to inform improved operational performance and a clear road map to decarbonization. We'll discuss both the technical integration developed for this real-world customer-driven opportunity and the user workflows undertaken to deliver these outcomes.

A new metro Line, with 19 kilometers and encompassing 15 stations, a maintenance yard, and 2 primary substations, represents a landmark achievement in utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM). A large-scale infrastructure project has set a new benchmark for the industry by implementing a comprehensive BIM (Building Information Modeling) approach, encompassing all disciplines, including geotechnical engineering and laser scanning for connection stations with existing lines.

Building information modeling (BIM) platforms and design software have opposite strengths. To get the best from each, it's beneficial to have them working in combination and complementing each other throughout the whole design phase. Doing so will also help bring BIM culture closer to designers, breaking the entrenched silos between the disciplines. Embracing designers in BIM allows for earlier implementation in the project and delays design freeze, as every iteration is captured in the federated model. This workflow proposes a fully integrated approach to the use of Rhino software and Revit software, describing the interoperability requirements of these platforms at the different stages of a project. Interoperability is a big challenge—we will review how an agile methodology can let you incorporate emerging technologies, and how this technology affects the design process.

Don't miss this opportunity to master ACC publishing and elevate your design projects.

This course will present a series of "how to" and "how come" case studies on using Forma to expand contextual understanding of architectural design. Where Revit excels at designing with the building envelop in, Forma excels at connecting building design to a broader context. Specifically, this is where working with Forma opens a new mode of architectural exploration with an emphasis on outcome-based design thinking. Forma allows the construction and analysis of a series of complex site-based issues: topography and existing conditions, environmental factors, infrastructure, and geographic data (GIS). This is then combined with multiple design proposals to study impact on energy, accessibility and circulation, embodied carbon, and the visceral connection between the building and site that can only be resolved through iterative, simulated explorations.

For too long, the environmental impact of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems has been underestimated, especially compared to structural and architectural elements. However, case studies, particularly those involving industrial buildings, reveal a significant impact. Unfortunately, most off-the-shelf lifecycle analysis (LCA) solutions don't address MEP. As a global leader in design and consulting services, Jacobs is here to change that. We've developed and built a custom Power BI visual. This innovative tool pulls both models and their associated metadata directly into Power BI. Our LCA experts then took things a step further. They developed calculations that convert the extracted data on quantities, dimensions, and materials into measurable global warming impacts. The result? Powerful LCA dashboards with clear model visuals. These tools empower our engineers and clients to make data-driven decisions that minimize the global warming impact of their designs.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is transitioning from traditional desktop applications to a decentralized cloud model, where project data is stored in databases, not bulky files. Leading this shift, Autodesk offers a comprehensive suite of APIs and services, unlocking new ways to connect workflows with data. This class, aimed at intermediate-level users, dives into Dynamo software's connectors and the new AEC Data Model API, facilitating seamless integration of cloud-based functionalities. We start with an overview of the AEC Data Model nodes and GraphQL nodes, enabling navigation to Autodesk hubs, projects, and data sources. Attendees will learn how to connect Dynamo graphs with cloud data and efficiently unpack and filter data using a variety of nodes. The class will conclude with examples showcasing cross-trade workflows. Takeaways will include understanding the capabilities of Dynamo and Autodesk Platform Services, and inspiring new data-driven methods for future projects.

The world has become aware of challenges that can no longer be ignored. From our earliest days, humanity has sought to explain the built and natural world with maps. Projections of location and predictions of cosmic and future events helped us understand and make sense of the places around us. Where should we sleep tonight? Where will the hunt go tomorrow? And who do we need to be on the lookout for? These were the questions they needed answered. History's earliest known world map was scratched on clay tablets in the ancient city of Babylon, and the purpose of maps hasn't changed much since. What has changed is how we collect, understand, and act on the information. In other words, today our maps can solve the real challenges we face. Join us as we explore the design process where building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) create a foundation for more socially, environmentally, and economically just environments—where today's technologies create a better tomorrow.
