Share this class

Description

Civil infrastructure projects are critical assets characterized by their extensive lifespans, costs, and impacts. So, how can we ensure these projects fully achieve their main purpose of holistically benefiting local communities? This session will explore how a unified Autodesk environment can streamline the design of roadway projects while adhering to sustainability guidelines. We'll demonstrate a typical workflow connecting Civil 3D software and InfoWorks ICM, focusing on the integration of these tools and using as case study a roadway project at risk from sea-level rise. Envision Framework and UN Sustainability Goals provisions will be used to validate results, ensuring that picked approaches are innovative and grounded in recognized guidelines. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how Autodesk solutions can empower users to make more-informed decisions in their own projects, making sure sustainable practices are being adopted at every stage of a project's lifecycle.

ELIAS GALVAN: Hello, everyone. Thank you for being here with me today. I'm really excited for having the opportunity to talk with you about climate resilience, which is a topic I'm very passionate about. So thank you for watching. The title of today's presentation is Elevating Roadways: Autodesk Solutions for Climate Resilient Infrastructure. We have a lot to cover, so I'd like to jump right in.

So here's the class information for your note. This course is intended for mid-level professionals who are working or have an interest in working with climate resilience and sustainable infrastructure. My focus today will be on exploring sustainable practice workflows and how we can use Civil 3D and InfraWorks site scans to solve some of these problems. So let me introduce myself. My name is Elias Galvan. I'm based in Miami, Florida. I'm a BIM Consultant at Symetri. I assist clients in the civil infrastructure sector with their digital transformation and sustainability journeys.

I have 10 plus years of industry experience. Before Symetri, I worked as an engineering consultant on a myriad of roadway, drainage, grading, water distribution projects in South Florida. In addition to that, since I started my first job, I had the opportunity to work in the front line of climate change mitigation projects and add the BIM component to the planning, design, and construction, and management efforts. A little bit about my background. I'm a licensed engineer in the state of Florida.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in meteorology, a Master's, a Doctorate in Civil engineering. I have extensively investigated the occurrence and modeling of extreme wind events in my home country, Brazil. And this is where I found my sweet spot the interaction between natural and built environments. As I mentioned, I worked for Symetri. We are a global technology solution company in both building infrastructure and product manufacturing industry. Being an Autodesk partner is in our DNA. Plus, we are Autodesk's largest solution partner globally, and we want to help our clients to work smarter towards a more sustainable future.

So with that, let's look at ways we can accomplish such a vision. So I'm going to start with the agenda for today. The format of this presentation follows the steps proposed by the writer Simon Sinek in his book called Start With Why, the Golden Circle. In this book, he proposes that in order to be successful in any endeavor, we first need to know why we're doing something before getting to how and what needs to be done.

So the first objective of this class, we aim to explore why we need to implement resilience thinking into our design. Then let's get to our second and third objective, which we will be exploring how we're going to be doing this, how we deploy Autodesk tool for this endeavor, and then how we use life cycle assessment solutions through our applications to understand our project impacts in terms of sustainability. Finally, we're getting to what are we going to be doing with this information.

This information is going to be collected, and then added, and then sustainable infrastructure analysis will be performed. All right. So let's get to it. In this first objective, let's understand why we need to know about climate resilience. Let's overview some of the basic concepts around sustainability and discuss a little bit the current climate crisis we live on. So let's start with Civil infrastructure.

So these are critical assets characterized by their extensive life lifespan, cost and impact. For that reason, infrastructure projects create great benefits, but they can also be harmful to the communities and the environment in a way that is not seen by any other industry. So applying sustainability principles to infrastructure design is imperative to define if a community will thrive or fail in the long run.

So what is sustainability? Sustainability is a term used in biology to describe how biological systems remain diverse, productive, and balanced over time. Sustainability, I think, is the ability to consider the triple border line approach, which considers giving the same weight to economical, environmental, and social aspects. We are looking to a solution to help meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

This brings us to resilience, which is a broad concept adopted from psychology, and is defined as the ability to bounce back, even after the influence of an extractor. Resilience can be seen as a complementary element of sustainability, which we'll be talking more on objective four. Antifragility is walking hand to hand with resilience, and is the ability to bounce back even stronger than before. It's the ability to learn from our mistakes, to make us stronger and thrive in the long run.

So what is climate vulnerability? Resilience has a lot of components from health science-- think about COVID-19-- to climate and economy. This element represents vulnerability to a system. Climate vulnerability, therefore, is a subset of resilience thinking, and it is inherent to any infrastructure asset. And with that, let's look at what climate mitigation means. This is a proactive approach to prevent, avoid, remove, or trap greenhouse gas emissions from being released to the atmosphere, looking to make impacts by attempting to reduce the climate the climate change severity. So this is more an action that we take towards preserving our climate.

And then we have adaptation, which is more like a remedy approach. We focus on adjusting ourselves now to the future and to the current and future challenges imposed by climate changes. It is a reactive approach to an ongoing issue. However, we aim to reduce the risks, the harmful effects of climate change to society. Now, I want to briefly discuss the climate crisis with you. Let's start these two charts. On the left, we have a graph showing on the y-axis the annual global mean surface temperature change relative to the period of 1850 to 1900 from six different databases, data sets, as indicated in the legend.

So in x, we have a time frame that extends from 1950s till 2023. We see that the data from all these different sources indicates an increase in temperature and in all the analyzed periods. For example, from 1860s to 1970s, we see that this rate was about 0.03 degrees celsius per decade. From the '70s to 2015, this rate was about 0.18 degrees celsius per decade. And from 2015 to 2023, this rate is about 0.26 degrees celsius per decade. So this analysis shows that, in average, there is an increase of 1.45 degrees celsius above the 1950s to 1900 average.

Now let's look at sea level elevations between '93 and 2022, the sea level was rising at a rate of 2.23 millimeters a year. Now, from 2003 to 2012, this rate was about 3.33 millimeters per year. And then from 2014 to 2023, this rate was about 4.47 millimeters a year. That means that someplace-- and also, we need to remember that some places experience even higher rates. This is not all homogeneous throughout the globe. And in common, we see that there is an acceleration of warming, and as well, the response.

So this process is not linear and sometimes, a smaller degree of global warming can represent a different, even more accentuated response in the globe. And what are we currently doing about it? The good news is that there's a lot of tools and research and investment being done on this field. But the not so good news is that, for example, in the United States, adaptation strategies still have a lot to improve. In 2022, the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems, MS4 survey reported that 92% of the municipalities do not have a stormwater resilience plan yet.

And 75% have not updated standards and specs to address climate changes. The same is seen in the rest of the world. About from 401 cities investigated with more than 1 million inhabitants, 85% of those municipalities do not have adaptation initiatives, and 82% of the cities are not planning towards adaptation either. Meanwhile, we know that for every dollar invested in climate resilience efforts, it is estimated that $6 are saved in recovery radio later on.

So is this change possible? Yes, it is possible, and we have done this before. Think about the ozone layer. Right? A report indicates that this layer, this atmospheric layer is in its way to be restored by 2040. 30% of the world's energy today is already renewable. And renewable sources are found to be cheaper today than fossil fuel solutions. Although in the mitigation front that focus on reducing CO2 emissions, the results still are basically negligible. And that's why there is a need for us to think about adaptation.

And so we know that the climate, the way for us ahead, and we already experienced this today, is going to be rough. And we need to be aware of that. And we need to buckle up and take the action. All right. So this is the why we need to incorporate resilience thinking into our design. As we saw, there are plenty of reasons. And now, we're going to look into how we're going to be doing this. On this objective, we'll be reviewing ways of implementing climate resilience thinking to infrastructure projects using Autodesk solutions.

So Autodesk has a large portfolio of solutions that can assist on the development of climate resilience infrastructure and promote sustainability in this project. Just to list a few, let's start with ICM and Civil 3D. These solutions can assist on many ways to create water resilience workflows. For example, it can help. by creating designed rainfall generators. We can also create watershed analysis. InfraWorks is also a great tool that can help us in a more conceptual sense with flood simulations, and conceptual roadway analysis.

Info drainage is another great solution that can help us with climate resilience by optimizing design, energy efficiency and facilitating low impact and sustainable urban devices modeling. Furthermore, we have InfraWorks site scan, which can help us facilitating the carbon accounting analysis in our water systems. We have recap that can help us creating high resolution surfaces and matches from point clouds. And we have map 3D, which will help us with any GIS analysis we need within our AutoCAD environment.

And then also, we have Forma, which will which is a more recent solution from Autodesk and will assist us with time microclimate analysis, wind analysis, and embodied carbon analysis, as well. All the solutions can achieve even a extra degree of sustainability when we bring them to the cloud and promote collaboration, increase file and results reliability, and accessibility. So now let's look at one application of this solution towards climate resilience.

All right, so I want to start with the US climate resilience toolkit, which is a great methodology for us to follow when attempting to create climate resilience designs and study it. It proposes the following six steps to help in the process of taking action towards climate resilience. It can be summarized in as follows. So we have the first step. That is, of course, identifying your needs. Then we jump into understand our exposure by identifying our asset and the vulnerability of this asset.

So then we get into the asset vulnerability and risk, which is, we're going to look to understand the potential impact of this risk to our asset, and what's the exposure of our asset and what's the sensitivity. It's how this asset being exposed to such risk will affect, let's say, the community, or even it will keep the asset standing if it's a large thunderstorm, for example. So those sorts of things we need to start thinking about.

So then, next step is to investigate options. So what is the asset's adaptive capacity to reduce the potential impact? So is this asset going to be able to adapt to new conditions, or does it need improvements? Then we need to work towards prioritization. So we need to work with the community to identify potential solutions and see what assets are the most important ones in a general way for the community to be tackled first, in terms of climate resilience.

And then lastly, we need to take action. And then this is where technology becomes crucial because it enables scalability and a holistic approach, and democratizes the access to this sort of solutions. So let's now look into an example of applying this technology towards a project. All right, so let's meet our asset. So this is an island neighborhood with one single axis, as you can see in the bottom of the screen. And the existing average elevation of the roadways, which is the red, yellow areas, they range between 0 and 3 feet. So we're talking about a really low lying neighborhood.

So we need to start thinking about what are our options in this scenario. So one of the very common options adopted are elevating the roadways, as we see, as the title of this presentation proposes. But also, we can think about adding seawalls. We can think about adding pump station systems, or bringing our green infrastructure or building blue infrastructure solutions. So this is what I bring. So this is what I proposed here, is that we lay out our risks against our adaptation options, and then we start analyzing.

So what are the risks that this community is facing? We have sea level rise. We have storm surge. We have precipitation increases. We have grown groundwater storage level reduction. Because once the sea level rises, your groundwater storage will be reduced. Also, we have saltwater intrusion, which is the phenomenon when the saltwater intrudes inside of facilities, and then starts degradation those utilities, including, as well, for example, roadways and all that, all the underground infrastructure.

We have extreme winds, water quality issues, so those are a lot of the risks. But we cannot, let's say, address all those risks at once. We need to focus on a few of them and start proposing adaptation solutions. So for example, we have raising infrastructure, build upsizing pipes. We can install pumping stations. We can install infiltration trenches, add sustainable urban devices, retention ponds, and many others. And this is going to get to our events and our design parameters.

So the design parameters we're going to be implementing in Civil 3D, some Civil 3D, and some in InfraWorks ICM. But the events are mostly going to be implemented into InfoWorks ICM. So now, as we saw, we have a lot of parameters to analyze. But due to time constraints, I just want to focus in one, sea level rise right now. And I want to look at Miami Beach sea level rise policy as an example. So let's get to some numbers.

We first need to identify what is the asset that we're talking about. So this is a local road, and we're going to accept a 50% probability of recurrence per year, in which this asset can become partially compromised because it's not, let's say, a emergency exit or a major roadway. So here, we are going to take one of those. So on this graph, we have different curves for different models from NOAA 2017 analysis. And the city had decided that, for local roads, we're going to be taking into account the intermediate high model as, let's say, as a guideline to define the sea level projections in the future.

So now, we are going to take our starting point, which is the 2020. And then we're going to consider the service life for our project, which, in this case, is about 30 years. And then we're going to get to 2050 and then obtain the value of 1.3 feet for the NOAA intermediate high, and 1.8 for emergencies or major roadways. So this is going to become the elevation of our project. And after a few calculations are performed, we're going to get, for local roads, the following numbers.

So the allowable flood elevation is going to be 3.9 feet, but on the edge of roadway. And the tidal wedding at base of road, so this is the elevation that is going to be accepted for the base of the road. So our road's going to have to be at least-- the base of the road is going to have to be at least 2.9 feet NABD. And this will allow 1 feet of clearance from the sea level rise elevation. And then finally, we need to think about harmonization, because once we are elevating this roadway, we're going to have to create standards for ATA, vehicle access, and also respect private property rights.

So then we get to the parameters that are going to be adopted for our roadway design. So we have roadway harmonization and drainage. And we're going to get these values. And also, you need to keep in mind that each strategy utilized is going to have a different impact in terms of sustainability for this specific project. So then we are going to get to our Civil 3D. This is a very simplified workflow of how this project is going to be developed in Civil 3D. One of the main tips that I have is to identify the lowest point in the working area, and then study from there, because we're talking about really low lying neighborhoods.

And many times, we were going to working with the minimum elevations for this specific case. It's going to vary depending what area you're working on, but this is a very specific application for low lying neighborhoods. So then, once we have developed our roadways, our alignments, our profile views, we get to our simple lines to create our cross sections, where in this case, we're going to create our existing and proposed utilities, as well, as they get affected, especially drainage. We're going to have to upsize the pipes to allow increased rainfall events. That's one of the issues expected because of climate changes in this region in South Florida.

And then we're going to get to our proposed grade, which is the roadway plus your existing ground, which is the ground that is not modified. And then we're going to finally export this as a thin surface, or we can use the ICM to export as a LandXML, and then and then send it to ICM. So once we get to ICM, we will first identify our scenarios. So as an example here, I develop four scenarios, which is the existing site conditions plus proposed climate.

Then we have existing site conditions plus future climate. We have our proposed site conditions plus future climate, only considering green infrastructure. And we also have a proposed site conditions plus green infrastructure, which includes green and gray infrastructure, and also, as well, future climate. So then we are going to be working with a-- we're going to be including the sea level elevations, which is going to be for base scenarios, for existing current climate, 1 foot. But for future climate, we're going to be talking about 2 feet for 30 years.

And of course, if you're planning for 30 years, for 60 years, or 2100, or for the year of 2,100, then this value is going to change. But this is just for 30 years. Then we're going to have our rainfall events, as well. Currently, we estimate in sync 6 inches of that. But then, in the future it's estimated to be 8.75 inches. And this is already implemented into the local restriction code.

All right. So in summary, the workflow to be followed within ICM is as follows. We're going to be defining our constraint, which is, basically, what we're going to be talking about in this project and what we're including. So there's analyses that we're not including for this analysis. Then we're going to define the scenarios. Then we're going to be creating our existing and proposed-- importing, actually, from Civil 3D, our existing and proposed grounds. Then we're going to have our network objects. We're going to be implementing our network objects to simulate, let's say, the proposed existing and proposed conditions.

And this is, let's say, the most complex portion because we're going to be using a lot of the ICM features to get to a more realistic as possible result. So then we get to include our events. So we're going to be using level to simulate the different levels of the ocean that surrounds that island. And then we're going to have a inflow, which we can use to simulate storm surges, for example. And then we're going to be using the rainfall event, as well, as a way to simulate the different types of rainfall.

And once all these, let's say, settings are configured, we're going to get to our report analysis, which we will be analyzing graphically. We have text reports and grid reports that will help us to get to a final conclusion. And this is, of course, this is an interactive process. Many times, you're going to have to bring information from ICM. And then, for example, you found that a certain design is not working, or you need to implement, or you want to implement, for example, swales on your project. And then you need to model that in Civil 3D, and then bring it back to ICM.

And so this is an interactive process. And by using, for example, LandXML, you can very much easily create this data exchange between both softwares. So the process is discussed in details on the handout. And so if you want to get to understand better how to set up the model, the handouts are there for you. But let's look at how this effort will look like in real life. So as you can see here, we have a roadway that is slightly elevated. So this is a neighborhood in Miami Beach that has been elevated.

And as you can see, you have to include all the ATA features to allow accessibility. And as well, you need to, many times, add railing to provide safety for the pedestrians. The same thing here in the second case. It's a little bit of a worst case. It's a new development that is already above the existing roadway conditions. And as you can see, there is a stair that actually provides access to a lower level road. So let's say this is a reversed case, where the newest development, they already are adapting to a new finished floor elevation. And they need to let's say, meet the existing conditions which are not, let's say, adapted yet.

So this is a very, very good example where you see the difference between a road that has been elevated and a road that has not been elevated. So you have a pretty rapid slope here that adapts, that tries to adapt the existing conditions to the proposed conditions. And this is another good example of how the difference between what is existing and what is proposed. And this is a really interesting example, because you see the size of the pipes that are being installed on this new project, which is, very many times, 72 inches, which is a pretty big improvement from what it is existing.

So now that we saw the design and modeling, we discussed the design modeling at this point. This is going to help us obtaining the raw data that we require to understand the project impacts in terms of sustainability. So the next step would be to perform a life cycle assessment analysis to help gather a more holistic understanding of the project. So let's look at some of the solutions. To start, when we're considering one of these-- when we're developing a new project, we need to understand the carbon.

So before we jump into the life cycle assessment, let's just tap into the carbon life cycle. This graph shows different stages for the carbon cycle. And as you can see, you're going to have two main types of carbons, as we call. We have the embodied carbon, which refers to all the emissions by the material transportation assembly before the asset is operational. And then we have the operational carbon, which relates to all the emissions that are done during, after the infrastructure asset goes to use.

And then together, they compose the whole carbon life cycle. And then when we are working towards decarbonization, we need to make sure that we're tackling all of these stages. And then, it's also very important to keep in mind the concept of circular economy, in which we take in consideration reusing, refurbishing and recycling, instead of simply disposing once the asset gets to the end of its life. So as I mentioned, we have from stages A1 to stage D. Those are all the different stages that compose the carbon life.

So going beyond carbon accounting. So now, we're talking about performing the carbon accounting. But when we're doing the life cycle assessment, we're going beyond that. We are developing. We are working towards understanding the whole life of the assets in, let's say, a more comprehensive way. So we are going to, by doing this life cycle analysis, we're going to be able to develop more sustainable solutions. We're going to be able to access different design options, identify environmental hotspots.

So where is that project specifically housing higher carbon emissions? And then we're going to be able to identify and quantify the solutions through a more transparent workflow, and ultimately, help facilitating compliance and current and upcoming compliance with regulations. And of course, the sooner we take action, the better. I think we are very familiar with this concept, thinking about whole life, thinking about decreasing the carbon emissions on a project after it has already been designed, or isn't towards being constructed. That will reduce the chances of you actually performing a bigger impact to the project.

So to help with LCA analysis, several tools are available in the market today that will assist on this endeavor. So this table shows some of these examples that will facilitate the development of LCA analysis for infrastructure projects. One Click LCA is a more robust tool that can help extract information directly from your Civill 3D project through a quantity take off, and apply, compare it to EPDs, which are environmental product declarations, and create sustainability framework analysis, and promptly create those analysis.

And then we also have EC3, which is a better solution that is being developed by building transparency. And it also currently offers only support for corridors. But also, once you have those solid values, you're going to be able to export it, and then compare against the EPDs. And then all these results will give you a-- the results will be expressed in a CO2 equivalent, and then you can understand better the impact of your project in a more, let's say, standardized way.

So in summary, this workflow within this sustainability applications is going to be, in summary, you're going to start by defining your system boundary, which starts with the spatial, your temporal, and your boundaries, and your assumptions and limitations. And then once you have this defined, you're going to jump into your Civil 3D application. You're going to create your corridor, your surfaces, pipes, your blocks. You're going to use those plugins to One Click LCA or EC3 for infrastructure to do the quantity takeoff.

And this information is going to be brought to a browser to a cloud solution, where these results are going to be then analyzed against national EPDs, or average EPDs. And then you will get to perform your life cycle analysis. So this is an example of the results from this analysis. You, you're going to get a report. This is a graph report, but you also can get a text report, in which the analysis will be provided, which you can analyze the project, considering life cycle stages, different sustainability framework. And also, you will be able to consider different greenhouse gas emission types.

All right. So now we with all this data developed that we discussed into the two previous steps, we have enough information to start doing our sustainability analysis. This is going to be a more comprehensive, let's say, approach because we're not only considering the CO2, but we are getting a CO2 equivalent. But we're getting into starting considering the impact of this infrastructure asset to the community in social, and also, environmental aspects.

So a little introduction. I think it's a good point of start a conversation over the UN Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015 by UN. You probably heard of them. They call for actions to be taken to end poverty, ensure a healthy environment, peace and prosperity. So these are fundamental concepts shared by many of existing sustainability frameworks. And when we're thinking about the UN SDGs, they tackle sustainability, but is more in a journalistic way.

So for example, this graph shows how, direct and indirectly, the sustainability goals tackle infrastructure issues. With that in mind, we have a whole market of sustainability framework, in which these solutions, they propose specific approach for the issues, the common issues that come-- the common issues for civil infrastructure, specifically. If we could, let's say, divide in three different solutions, we have regulations, which are, let's say, more broad approach to classify sustainable infrastructure.

Then we have standards, which are, let's say, a little bit more specific, but not as much as the voluntary frameworks. And there are many cases that regulations, they adopt sustainability frameworks as, let's say, the legal sort of requirement. And so they can be used, as well, depending in which jurisdiction you're working on as a, let's say, as a regulation, as a requirement for the development of a infrastructure project.

So this sustainable frameworks, they will support that new players come through education and showcasing the methodology. It will allow creating a community through connecting people and solutions. And as you can see, so here is a slide that shows some of these solutions throughout the world. And want to focus really on Envision, which is a decision making guide aimed to prescribe solution measurements and initiatives, and initiate, let's say, sustain systemic changes throughout the development of the project.

So what it does, it promotes a holistic and integrated analysis for your project, and gives a clear understanding of the impact of the decisions that are taken throughout the development of the project. And this methodology is developed by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure. And the intent is to help capacity professionals to credentialing programs and build a community that partners to find the best solutions on sustainable infrastructure.

So as you can see, the Envision framework is composed of 64 credits and they are divided in quality of life, leadership, resource allocation, natural world, and climate and resilience. So each one of these five categories, they have three subcategories. And each subcategory has an amount, specific amount of maximum points that can be associated to that specific, let's say, analysis, to that specific block of the sustainability analysis that is being developed.

So we have the categories. We have the subcategories. We have the 64 credits. And each credit is going to have a different level of achievement. So depending how your credit, how that specific factor within your project is being adopted, you're going to have a different, let's say, value, a different amount of points obtained for that specific analysis point. And the same methodology has evaluation criteria, which are questions that you're going to ask yourself towards-- you're going to ask yourself to evaluate on how much that point is valid for your project, and also, if you are able to achieve that specific punctuation.

And of course, throughout AECO applications, we can design workflows, and we can design workflows that will help creating the reflection and the documentation for this specific need. And with that, we have, last year, if you are interested in learning a little bit more about these workflows, our group presented a session here out of that university, in which we explore-- the title of the presentation was Democratize Sustainability: Connected Data for Infrastructure Excellence.

And Eve, Alex and myself, we developed this idea in which we can facilitate the connection between credit and internal workflows for considering Autodesk solutions and some other partnered solutions, such as one, One Click LCA and [INAUDIBLE]. So this is, if you are interested in learning more, please check out the presentation, and feel free to anytime reach us out. So let's go back to our exercise. So here we have this table. We have all the categories, subcategories and credits, along with the level of achievements, in which we can start asking ourselves questions and try to understand how well we can achieve these specific, let's say, points.

So for example, we have well-being. We have quality point of well-being. We have improve community quality of life, enhance public health safety. And we can ask those questions, like how is this project enhancing the community. And we can repeat this process for mobility, for community. We can ask, how is this project enhancing public view. So there are several questions that we need to ask before we try to propose in which level of achievement we will be a best fit.

So are we just improving, or slightly improving our existing-- let's say that we're just slightly improving the project considering a baseline project. Are we just proposing a solution that is slightly improved, or are we considering this baseline project? Our solution is enhancing, is significantly superior of the baseline solution, and/or is conserving is actually helping to conserve the environment with zero impact, or sometimes even restoring the existing conditions?

For example, we were talking about, I think, about restoring a project. Instead of adding a seawall, we can add a mangrove to the borders of the ocean and the island borders on that specific project. So that would be a really good case in which we could get into a restorative sort of level for this specific project. So this analysis goes on. So for example, think about energy. Are we reducing our operational energy consumption? Instead of if we have a existing condition, where we have pump stations, but then we would say remove those pump stations and add a green infrastructure solution, an SCU solution.

That would be a way that we would be reducing the operational energy consumption of our projects. But of course, we need to understand if this is possible or not. If this is not possible, then you don't get any points for this specific item because you're not making any improvement on reducing the operational conditions, the operational energy consumption. And so then next, we have the next step with the natural world. So for example, in this case, we have citing, conservation and ecology subcategories.

And we think about stormwater, managed stormwater. So what are we proposing solutions to managing our stormwater better? And then finally, climate resilience. We have several credits related to climate resilience. And many of this project, this credits would be applicable. And this could be a point. This could be a part that this project could really get a lot of points. And perhaps considering, of course, not only the proposed Civil 3D and ICM workflow, but also, the analysis and the extensive documentation to reflect this, to include this project reflections.

In this case, we could even, potentially, gain up to 534 points by considering all those credits that I analyzed in a restorative level. So this is something you're going to be performing, not necessarily if you want your project to become certified, but also, if you want to just help analyze your project, if you want to create an analysis that's just for yourself, and for your company, or for your city to understand better what's the impact of your project.

So this framework allows you this reflection, allows you to think about what is being done. So it's just a key takeaway for this presentation. As we conclude, it's clear that addressing climate crisis requires a multifaceted approach. Through adaptive strategies, we can reshape our built environment to withstand the evolving impacts of climate changes. Technology serves as the driving force, providing the tools and innovative solutions that are necessary to implement adaptation effectively and sustainably.

By integrating these pillars, which is a knowledge into crisis, prioritizing the adaptive measures and leveraging cutting edge technology, we can pave the way towards a more resilient future. And that doesn't only meet today's challenges, but also anticipates the demands in the future. So together, we can really turn this crisis into an opportunity for innovation and long term success. Thank you. Here are some of the references I used. And yes, with that, this is it. Thank you.
