Roads and highways are responsible for more than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, with 7.3% of global emissions coming from their construction materials (Architecture 2030). Global regulations and incentives to cut these upfront carbon emissions are growing, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, and the EU Green Public Procurement. This panel discussion will feature international practitioners and data platform providers who are working to decarbonize roads and highways. Civil 3D software can be a critical piece of this effort, if integrated with sustainability tools. The discussion will cover the opportunities and hurdles faced by engineering companies and technology providers as the infrastructure industry aims to improve its impact on climate change.

Looking to implement carbon analysis on your project but not sure how and when to use each product? There's no single tool to solve this problem, but many are working to streamline this process. Learn from global architecture, engineering, and construction firm Arcadis about how to upskill your own company on sustainable design workflows at a firm-wide level, despite real-world constraints such as project budgets and resourcing. We'll help you understand the difference between solutions such as Autodesk Forma software's embodied carbon analysis, Insight software, and One Click LCA so you can walk away with a framework for your own team to apply.

Let's face it, emissions from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry are too high and one of the key issues is there are no agreed-upon processes for measuring embodied carbon. Join this panel discussion to hear a deep dive into how a group of companies conducted a proof of concept (POC) to address this complexity. Under the auspices of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Autodesk and six AEC leading companies—AECOM, Arcadis, Arup, Foster + Partners, Ramboll, and SOM—spent more than six months on this POC. The cohort of building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability experts from the various firms investigated the processes behind translating BIM data into material quantities to measure embodied carbon (EC). The goal: Identify best practices toward establishing industry-wide guidelines for EC analysis to create actionable benchmarks. Join this fascinating technical discussion into how we aligned, agreed on assumptions, and drew conclusions. 

Hear how these POC insights might help decarbonize the industry from our contributors:  Paul Astle (Ramboll), Javier Sanchez Hernandez (AECOM), Laura Gomez Hernandez (AECOM), Caoimhe Loftus (Arcadis), Ian Lumsden (Arup), Blerina Celniku (Foster and Partners), Monica Lucas (Ramboll), Eric Stimmel (SOM), and Mirko Farnetani (SOM).
