Autodesk strives to enhance its comprehensive products, empowering professionals from various fields with vast toolsets to facilitate the transition toward a sustainable future. Despite significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), keeping pace with innovation remains a challenge, especially when addressing sustainability complexities throughout design, construction, and operations. Hence, we present a framework using Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection and Innovyze products to help engineers and sustainability professionals identify sustainable solutions for civil infrastructure. Our solution democratizes sustainable design, construction, and operations through a live, collaborative common data environment, linking Envision Sustainability Guidelines and Principles with industry best practices and workflows. It aims to document practices, providing guidance across multiple dimensions of sustainability throughout the entire civil infrastructure project lifecycle.
