Description
For years, companies have been investing in sustainability initiatives like reduced energy consumption and efficient use of resources. Mostly, sustainability has been directed toward tackling process-caused environmental impacts. However, the focus must shift to a product’s components. Companies need to target sustainability in the design phase, not just in the operational phase. Whenever the design starts, sustainability must be a feature of the product and not an afterthought. Currently, there are 28 million CAD users globally, and an opportunity to capture up to 10Gton of CO2eq per year. In this talk, we’ll discuss how to empower designers to improve the environmental performances of their projects by delivering trusted sustainability insights in the context of their design tools. Find out how the SimaPro API can extract all required information using Fusion Data and Autodesk Forge APIs to calculate the environmental impact and return results to the designer in real time.
