Twinning TISR: A “Hot” Take on Sustainable Environmental Restoration Using Digital Prototypings

Explore deploying a digitalized design and monitoring workflow for a thermal remediation system (TISR®). Using Autodesk Forma, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, and Autodesk Tandem software, the project establishes a seamless lifecycle workflow from early-stage planning and data harmonization to real-time monitoring and maintenance. Forma optimizes solar energy feasibility analysis and site planning, while Autodesk Construction Cloud ensures standardized data exchange across stakeholders. Revit enables detailed 3D parametric modeling. And Tandem integrates telemetry data to monitor system performance. You’ll learn how Digital Prototypings enhance operational performance, reduce the need for on-site visits, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve collaboration between stakeholders. Explore the transformative potential of Digital Prototyping platforms for advancing sustainable asset management, conserving resources, and increasing infrastructure resilience in environmental restoration.

Sweco's Use of Autodesk and Esri Tech to Streamline Workflows in Architecture

Adam Sjödin—urban planner and digital strategist with Sweco Architects based in Stockholm, Sweden—will detail project timelines and how data and design flow between geographic information systems (GIS), Spacemaker, Sweco's in-house carbon-calculation tool C3, and Revit software. Projects often employ tools such as GIS, Spacemaker, Revit, or all of the above, but the different contributors and stakeholders are frequently stuck in silos, focusing simply on their immediate needs and not a project’s full timeline, which makes them inefficient. To mitigate this, Sweco has developed methods and workflows to streamline the flow of data in projects and to digitalize this process and utilize all available and new data early on. This ensures that the project starts on the right foot, workflows are efficient, and all of the data is available and utilized. With this method, you can pinpoint a place of interest, analyze the potential of the site, and work through to a finished project.

How Outcome-Based Design Can Lead to More-Sustainable Projects

Sustainability is emerging as the main value driver of the future of building. Reducing a building's carbon footprint decreases its running costs, improves the workforce's sense of purpose, and raises property value. Buildings become also socially, economically, and environmentally responsible. In turn, they become more profitable, and are healthier places to live and work. In this class, we’ll focus on an outcome-based design workflow from schematic design in Spacemaker to design development in Revit and Insight software. The discussion is centered on concrete milestones and frameworks connected to sustainable KPIs in early phase development. We’ll explore a small mixed-use plot in central London with views of the River Thames and HMS Belfast.

How Generative Design Can Help Optimize New Neighborhoods

The need for affordable housing has never been so high worldwide. One possible solution is to optimize the development of new neighborhoods. But how can you get a maximum number of residential buildings on your plot in a sustainable way while still providing comfort? In this class, we'll teach you step by step how you can use Generative Design for Revit and Dynamo to optimize the planning of neighborhoods of single-family residential buildings, including plot subdivision, land-use assignment, and placement and shape of structures. We’ll then review how Spacemaker brings even more value into this complex exercise for the optimization of multifamily residential buildings.
