How do you turn an intelligent model into a lever for real environmental performance? At the Chabanne office, we developed a suite of custom Revit plug-ins directly connected to live environmental databases (INIES/RE2020). This enabled our teams to query material carbon data, track biosourced ratios, and monitor energy indicators directly inside the model in real time. This outcome-based BIM helped us across different projects especially Thoiry's Kindergarten to reach Passivhaus-level energy needs, exceed the RE2020 2028 carbon threshold, and achieve 1.5 times the Level 3 biosourced label. Through Autodesk Platform Services, plug-ins, Autodesk Forma, Forma Site Design, Forma Building Design, Model Context Protocol (MCP), API, and AI, the intelligent model turned into a decision-making engine for our whole team.

The offsite construction industry is scaling, but the graduates entering it have been trained for a world of bespoke ETO delivery. No accredited degree program teaches configure-to-order workflows, manufacturing product definition, modular interface standards, or offsite logistics. The industry is hiring for skills that schools don't yet teach. This session will present the MBI-CfOC Offsite Construction Accreditation Initiative a joint effort between the Modular Building Institute and the Center for Offsite Construction to establish the first accredited degree pathway for the industrialized construction workforce. With materials nearly complete and first accreditation discussions happening, let's understand what the next generation of offsite-trained talent will know, and how to build a firm that can absorb them.

Autodesk Platform Services documentation, website, and sample files all assume the user is an experienced web developer. Most architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals who want to take advantage of using Autodesk Platform Services to access their Autodesk Forma data are not web developers, and they need to understand how to start from level zero. This class will introduce a level zero approach for connecting Autodesk Platform Services to Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud). We'll walk through creating an Autodesk Platform Services application, obtaining authentication, and connecting to Autodesk Forma. Once connected, we'll retrieve basic project information, and we'll review the structure of the Autodesk Forma data.

For years, digital twins have been presented as the ultimate goal of digital transformation. But today the conversation has evolved. The real value lies in creating a digital representation of an asset and enabling it to analyze, predict, and support better decisions via artificial intelligence. This session will explore how engineering models, BIM, reality capture, operational data, and AI combine to create intelligent digital ecosystems. We'll examine the evolution from traditional to AI-enabled digital twins. We'll discuss the role of foundation and domain-specific engineering models. And we'll explore how organizations can leverage existing digital assets to unlock new operational insights and automation. This session will provide a practical road map for those seeking to transform engineering and construction data into actionable intelligence. You'll leave with a clear understanding of how AI complements digital twins and how technologies can drive measurable business value throughout the asset lifecycle. 

Carbon assessment still happens outside the tools where infrastructure teams actually work. In this panel discussion, Autodesk, Ramboll, and ORIS explore what it looks like when that changes, bringing carbon intelligence directly into the cloud environment where project data already lives. Drawing on a concrete project from Ramboll, panelists will share how their team embedded carbon workflows into their existing Autodesk Forma environment without disrupting data governance or forcing manual exports. The conversation will surface the technical and practical realities of connecting carbon assessment to the project data ecosystem, from integration architecture to day-to-day workflow impact.

Agentic AI is rapidly changing how work gets done, moving beyond prompts into systems that can plan, act, and automate tasks across tools. This session will explore how to apply agent-based approaches using tools like Claude Code and Claude Cowork, Dispatch, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Autodesk Platform Services. In this session, you'll learn how to connect agents to Autodesk data, manage authentication and permissions, and orchestrate workflows that automate design and project delivery tasks. Through practical examples, we'll show how to combine agents, Claude skills, and APIs to move from isolated automations to scalable, end-to-end processes.

Many digital twin initiatives succeed at the pilot stage but fail to scale across portfolios. This session will present a real-world case from the University of Exeter, showing how a structured facility template enabled digital twins to scale across four buildings covering both new build and retrofit projects. By standardizing asset data and workflows, the team reduced handover activation effort by 60% to 70%, enabled CAFM-ready asset activation within two to three days, and improved access to operational data by 40%. Learn how to create reusable templates and governance models to scale digital twins across campuses and capital programs.

Recent news of artificial intelligence (AI) advances have us all wondering how our professions will change. Committed to driving future-ready innovation, WSP Digital Solutions engaged with Autodesk Research to explore the potential of AI-assisted automated structural design after seeing a prototype at Autodesk University 2019. In this class, you'll see how we worked together to understand the technology's promise and how to use it effectively. We'll describe the possible benefits we identified, from more-meaningful, agile engagements with architects in early design phases through assistive technology that automates away tedious tasks and helps explore more options ("rapid optioneering"), to surfacing sustainability trade-offs when most impactful decisions can be made. We'll also address the fears around this digital transformation. Finally, we will share how our unique collaboration came to be, and how you too can engage with Autodesk to prepare for and shape the future of work and the world of tomorrow.

In this session, we'll showcase how a web application, built on top of Autodesk Platform Services and our local database, can optimize the design process, improve CO2e footprint assessment, and enhance collaboration among clients and stakeholders. Using this web application enables clients to efficiently simulate design modifications, making well-informed decisions that effectively minimize both the cost and time associated with CO2e emissions. This ultimately leads to a more streamlined and sustainable design process.

Traditional estimation methods for new build and renovation projects involve hours manually measuring the physical space. If you're lucky, the 2D drawing or a 3D "model fairy” has blessed you with somewhat accurate drawings at best. But, in most situations, we don't hold our breath. Brandt recognized they could divert time spent on multiple site visits to other critical project needs by bringing reality capture to their estimation process. With one Matterport scan, Brandt built a great foundation of project information using the digital twin to collect, document, and record spaces for quick reference to create long-term value for their clients. Learn how Brandt built remote estimation into their projects, saving time and money by reallocating resources to more critical tasks, all while minimizing disruption within their estimating team. The result for Brandt was the same. Accurate and reliable estimates, but in less time without the overhead costs involving multiple site visits.

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.
