Engagement with building designers indicates high levels of enthusiasm for using Revit software at different stages to analyze carbon emissions, from concept to detailed design. However, challenges remain in defining modeling practices that facilitate fast and accurate analysis. One solution to this is the Revit Energy Analytical Model, which allows us to analyze carbon while we design our buildings. While the Revit Energy Analytical Model is an intelligent method to transform architectural models into analytical information, the setup and model view can be unintuitive, and can be impacted by modeling practices. Join Autodesk and FenestraPro to learn about workflows and tools that simplify this process, and hear how they worked together to resolve many of these challenges. FenestraPro, a leading Autodesk Partner, has engaged with designers globally and developed tools that provide intuitive pathways for facade design in Revit software, empowering designers to understand carbon emissions throughout the design process.

Are you killing the planet? You may be proud of your net-zero energy buildings and carbon offsets, but have you considered the embodied carbon impact of your buildings throughout their entire lifecycles, including embodied carbon? If not, you're leaving a carbon legacy for future generations to deal with. In the presentation, we'll dive deep into the science of embodied carbon. We'll look at how it's measured through advanced technology such as Revit software, Dynamo, and Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge), and why it is crucial to consider. We will explore real-world examples of how embodied carbon impacts building portfolios over time, and how it can affect the planet's future. We'll also examine how considering carbon assessments at different scales (regions, cities, buildings, interiors, and products) can help investors and executives make more-informed decisions on strategies to decarbonize their property portfolios.

Buildings and other architectural spaces are often poorly suited to their occupants. One aspect of this is their spatial layout: It can be hard to walk from one place to another, as the visibility within or outside of a space might be limited and the acoustics can be poor. Automated spatial analysis—during generative or traditional design workflows—helps designers assess these qualities. In 2019, Autodesk Research released a Dynamo package for 2D spatial analysis, followed by one for 3D in 2021. The latter, called VASA (Voxel-based Architectural Space Analysis), takes inspiration from voxel-based environments such as Minecraft to explore architectural spaces. VASA lets Dynamo users analyze buildings spatially, enabling activities such as pathfinding, daylighting, and visibility analysis. This session will look at how Revit users can harness Dynamo and VASA to conceive and design great occupant-centered spaces, validating assumptions using concrete spatial metrics.
