These comparisons can now be done in minutes by general practitioners, rather than taking days and whole teams as in years past. Project materials data can be transferred directly ® ® from Autodesk BIM 360 with the free, easy‑to‑use EC3 app. The materials data available through EC3 has more than doubled since the tool was launched in 2019. ® ® Autodesk Insight (formerly Insight 360) technology empowers architects and engineers to design more energy‑efficient buildings with advanced simulation engines and building perfor‑ mance analysis data integrated in Revit. This results in reducing carbon associated with build‑ ing operations. By combining design data in a cloud‑based environment, design teams can visualize trade‑offs with high accuracy. This scalable tool works from early conceptual design through to build, and is a central place of record for building energy. For example, Autodesk Revit provides integrated modeling and systems analysis for right‑sizing HVAC systems (among other applications), lowering energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. Case Study: The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design is a 36,978‑square‑foot facility at Georgia Institute of Technology that has been called the most sustainable building in the Southeast US. The regenerative building gives back more than it takes from the environment, and boasts a green roof, a solar panel canopy, cisterns for rainwa‑ ter collection and reuse, and surrounding vegetable gardens that provide food throughout ® ® the year. Using Autodesk technology, the design team used Autodesk Revit and Assem‑ ble tools paired with virtual reality to rapidly price, model, and get sign‑off on the new design. And during construction, BIM 360 facilitated communication and collaboration between contractors, designers, and the owner. Focus area: Smart & sustainable cities More efficient road network systems have the potential to reduce energy consumption, local pollutant emissions, delays, and traffic congestion, while improving safety. Autodesk also helps customers understand and reduce environmental impacts associated with roadways and transportation infrastructure. Using the integrated multi‑modal Mobility ® ® Simulation engine for Autodesk InfraWorks , designers can create animated simulations of transit, parking, personal, and/or taxi‑mode modeling.
