Description

Navigating the imminent growth in the renewable energy market presents challenges around skills and project data quality. Autodesk tools enable customers to overcome these challenges by investing in upskilling and ensuring high-quality data for their projects. AutoCAD files are critical in this, providing the precision needed, especially with the shift toward 3D designs for energy yield modeling. Well-optimized and structured preconstruction stage designs in AutoCAD can make or break a potential project's funding and eventual construction, thus driving customer value. This panel will explore how Autodesk software can empower customers to unlock the renewable energy sector's potential, overcome bottlenecks, and mitigate risks. By addressing these challenges, users can contribute significantly to achieving the ambitious Net Zero emissions targets and combat climate change, driving positive outcomes for their businesses and the world.

Principaux enseignements

  • Learn about challenges the renewable energy sector is facing, from workforce constraints to data risk.
  • Learn how AutoCAD plays a key role in the development of designs but also in the securing of financing and in project optimization.
