Carbon Reporting Is Not … Sustainable? The Carbon Cost of Counting Carbon: Rethinking Sustainable Design Workflows.
Despite the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions, many organizations are locked into Sustainable Design reporting processes that ironically generate carbon themselves. Manual data collection, countless spreadsheets, disjointed systems, and repetitive quality checks consume thousands of hours across project teams—a resource-intensive cycle that ultimately undermines the very goals these frameworks aim to achieve. This session will explore the paradox at the heart of today’s carbon reporting commitments, drawing on real-world insights from the collaborative effort of Autodesk and Stantec to streamline carbon workflows. We’ll unpack how the development of an open, automated data architecture—grounded in the ECHO schema—enables scalable, lower-carbon reporting that not only aligns with the AIA 2030 Commitment, SE 2050, and other programs, but actually frees up time and energy for deeper Sustainable Design work. It’s time to reduce the carbon cost of carbon reporting—and this session will show you how.
