TAKE THE LEAD IN SUSTAINABLE BUILDING DESIGN

The Architect's Guide to Carbon Management

Our new guidebook explains how architects can integrate carbon analysis in the design process, and thereby more easily measure and mitigate carbon. 

Account for carbon from day one

80% of a building’s carbon emissions are decided by its structure and envelope. In other words, long-term sustainability is shaped by the design decisions you make from day one. With carbon analysis tools and technology, you can understand the impact of each design decision on embodied and operational carbon for the full lifecycle of your building.

The Architect's Guide To Carbon Management

Market demand and ever-tightening net-zero regulations are making sustainable design a requirement for architectural projects. As an architect, you have the opportunity to impact a project’s total carbon emissions with decisions you make starting in the conceptual design phase.  Find out how carbon analysis tools can help you conduct analysis in the early design stage of building projects and beyond, and learn how they can give your firm a competitive edge.

Manage embodied and operational carbon

Harness insights on project surroundings and embodied and operational carbon, so you can balance trade-offs between factors such as sun access and sellable area, giving you options to explore passive design strategies and optimize massing. AI-powered tools like Autodesk Forma and Insight are enabling real-time data feedback and dashboards to inform your decisions at the design stage.

Carbon analysis sets your practice apart

Decarbonize by design

Make crucial early design decisions that optimize material and energy usage, reduce environmental impact, and exceed performance requirements.

Differentiate your firm

Carbon analysis technology enables you to expand your influence on the entire building lifecycle, adding the ability to sell value-added sustainability services and achieve coveted sustainability certifications.

Comply with new regulation

Get ahead of new and upcoming government regulations, which increasingly require new buildings to be Net Zero and existing buildings to be renovated to meet energy performance requirements.
