Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Why did Autodesk & Eptura form a strategic alliance?

Globally, about 40% of energy-related carbon emissions come from a combination of building operational emissions and carbon released from materials production and building construction. At the same time, the Covid pandemic has altered the usage patterns for many facilities, causing organizations to rethink how they plan and manage workspace occupancy. More significantly, it has drawn attention to the importance of health and safety for its occupants. Autodesk and Eptura have formed an alliance to help building owners and operators address these challenges by making it easier to bring buildings design and asset information together with facility and workspace management systems, giving facility managers more accurate and relevant access to data they need to make better decisions.

What is IWMS (Integrated Workspace Management System)?

IWMS (Integrated Workplace Management Systems) software is a next generation solution in facilities management providing advanced support in real estate, space and workplace management, maintenance planning and control, and sustainability management. Learn more about IWMS.

How are Autodesk and Eptura addressing the challenges of building facilities operations?

Over 95% of data generated during design and construction is lost or underutilized. This data could be useful for building owners and operators for facility maintenance and management. And replicating these asset databases consumes unneeded resources. As building portfolios becomes more sophisticated, facility managers will need to rely on data more heavily. To address this growing concern, Autodesk and Eptura aim to deliver solutions for the entire lifecycle management of a building. Facility managers can use this data to make informed decisions about everything from maintenance and operations, enhanced cleaning and hygiene protocols, improved security, to space utilization and energy consumption.

What is the role of digital twins in facilities management and operations?

Digital Twins can help building owners and facility managers with their aggressive environmental goals by identifying areas of waste energy, how to improve them, and where they are occurring, while also providing operational data such as testing and balancing reports or operations and maintenance manuals to speed up the process of troubleshooting issues [Requires technical overview]

How do Archibus and Revit work together?

Archibus is an IWMS (integrated workplace management system) software providing support holistically in space planning management, building operations and management, sustainability and risk management, and workplace services. Revit and Archibus integrate data to provide a single view, portfolio asset and workplace management information enabling faster, more informed decision making that leads to operational efficiency across buildings and facilities. This can allow for better cost management by minimizing on demand maintenance and unplanned downtime, improved occupancy comfort and safety through workplace utilization and services, and a reduced carbon footprint with effective monitoring of power usage.
