Map embodied carbon from Revit to Insight

This video introduces the embodied carbon capabilities in Insight, with a focus on how Revit model geometry is mapped to embodied carbon metrics using cloud-based workflows. You’ll learn how Insight links material data from Energy Analysis Models (EAM) exported from Revit with carbon coefficients derived from Building Transparency’s EC3 database. By exploring the Embodied Carbon Details view, construction summaries, and custom material mappings, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how early design decisions influence lifecycle emissions and sustainability targets.

After completing this video, you’ll be able to:

• Describe how Autodesk Insight links Revit model elements to embodied carbon definitions.
• Use the Embodied Carbon Details panel and Construction Summary to assign, review, and modify carbon data.
• Explain the role of embodied carbon databases like EC3 in informing early-stage material impact decisions.
