SXSW 2020

Optimizing carbon-cost through climate leadership

Description:

1 Parametric Design from the Carbon & Cost Perspective
Live demo of parametric design enhanced with a machine learning engine for optimizing geometry of structural components with the purpose to minimize carbon footprint and costs.

2 Value-Driven BIM for Carbon-Cost Optimization
Introduce a problem: leading CAD and BIM tools lack features for value-driven visualizations.
Demonstrate the nudging potential of our value-driven BIM models for visualizing embedded carbon to instinctively extend engineers’ zone of responsibility to carbon-cost optimize their solution on their own.

3 Climate Leadership at Sweco
Present Sweco’s transition to carbon neutrality, and integration of Sustainable Development Goals with our internal guidelines and performance in customers’ projects.

Takeaways

  1. The least climate intensive design can also be the cheapest, but it doesn’t work the other way around.
  2. A design team intuitively understands the environmentally problematic components when UX-aware and value-driven visualizations are applied.
  3. Clients in AEC appreciate a high sustainability hygiene, however new recruits demand it. Walk the Talk becomes a part of must-have business ethics.
