HUNTSVILLE, AL, Jan 6, 2025 – Sustain360° has announced its integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, a portfolio of software and services that combines advanced technology, a builders’ network and predictive insights for construction teams.
The new integration allows project stakeholders to import 3D Revit models from Autodesk Build or Autodesk Docs directly into Sustain360° to evaluate building materials and carbon emissions at the earliest stages of project design.
Conceptual design decisions determines a project’s environmental footprint, and allows architects and designers to:
- Evaluate carbon emissions at the design phase.
- Identify opportunities for alternative materials, energy, sourcing, and waste reduction.
- Incorporate environmental metrics into design workflows to reduce carbon emissions.
Data (1) shows that over 80% of decisions impacting embodied carbon emissions are made in the design stage.
“These decisions are pivotal in shaping the sustainability of a project’s lifecycle,” said Baz Khuti, founder and CEO of Sustain360°. “Through our integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, we’re giving construction professionals the capability to create projects that not only meet but exceed environmental standards. Together, we’re shaping a greener and more resilient future for the construction industry.”
“Incorporating sustainable materials early in the design phase can help reduce carbon emissions throughout the construction process,” said James Cook, director of Industry & Technology partnerships at Autodesk. “Using Sustain360° to generate and evaluate carbon and cost metrics from 3D models that designers and builders trust to Autodesk Construction Cloud, project managers can ensure reports are current and promote sustainability from the project’s start.”
With Autodesk Construction Cloud’s robust API, Sustain360° can integrate environmental data directly into project workflows, providing actionable insights that align design innovation with sustainability goals. The integration not only enhances project efficiency but also reinforces a commitment to tackling global climate challenges.
