Descripción
The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is responsible for 40% of emissions globally; deep emissions reductions by 2030 are critical to mitigate the severity of global climate change. These meaningful reductions are impossible without decarbonizing the built environment and rethinking how we use materials and consume energy. In this applied case study, see how novel bio-based materials are analyzed early in design for embodied and operational carbon reductions. This project is a collaboration between Autodesk AEC Sustainability Strategy, Autodesk Research, Ecovative, Kreysler Associates, and Factory_OS, a leader in industrialized construction, building affordable homes through modular construction. The presenters will outline the analysis tools used, including Autodesk Insight, Revit Systems Analysis, and TallyCAT, to generate early design guidelines and provide directional guidance on the trade-offs between operational and embodied carbon. The presentation will demonstrate how this was used to inform the refinement of a new, productized, decarbonized, low-rise building typology.

- THThomas Van HarenThomas van Haren is Ecovative's Chief Operating Officer, where he is responsbile for the mycelium composites and raw materials business lines across the United States and Europe. Ecovative's composite products are focused on replacing single use plastics, such as EPS and PU, for applications ranging from packaging to construction materials, while the raw materials business produces spawn and substrates that are required for growing these products. Thomas graduated from the London School of Economics and holds an MBA from Columbia Business School.
- SZSheena ZhangSheena Zhang is an AEC Sustainability Specialist at Autodesk, where she develops the internal strategy across Autodesk's portfolio for connected sustainability workflows and capabilities. Prior to Autodesk, she was a sustainability consultant to the architecture, engineering, and construction industry at Atelier Ten, where she managed projects of all scales and typologies, including adaptive reuse, museum, healthcare, and masterplans with a wide range of sustainability goals like net-zero operational and embodied carbon, zero waste of resources, and net-zero water waste. She helped develop methods to quantify projects' total carbon and has extensive experience working with many stakeholders, including building owners, design teams, and construction managers to incorporate sustainability from concept design through construction. As a LEED AP and Living Futures Accredited professional, she has a record of delivering a multitude of sustainable design benchmarks and is passionate about democratizing sustainability tools for equitable impact in the built environment. She is a registered architect and has taught at the Pratt Institute and the Parsons School of Design.
- AHArthur HarsuvanakitArthur Harsuvanakit is a Principal Research Scientist within the Industry Impact team at Autodesk Research. His role involves developing and demonstrating new tools and workflows that can enable designers to work more creatively during their design process and with less negative environmental impact. His current research aims to establish how new design strategies and measurement capabilities can enable generative design workflows to produce sustainable insights and outcomes for Product Design and Manufacturing, as well as Architecture and Construction.
