Zero Tool Integration within Autodesk Insight

Did you know that Autodesk's early energy modeling workflow has an API-based connection to ARCHITECTURE 2030's Zero Tool to provide a convenient pEUI target? We use this workflow and resource on nearly every project at Lake|Flato.

I will highlight this valuable feature in today's post.

Vote for this Revit Idea - Revit Element Reuse Workflow

I recently posted a Revit Idea in support of element reuse within Autodesk Revit. With all of the exciting things happening around deconstruction, material reuse, and the circular economy, it would be great if Revit offered some level of support for this design and documentation workflow.

Speaking on "happenings" in this space, the city of San Antonio, here in Texas, is making great strides in both policy and culture (see recent local happy hour photo at the end of this post:)). Link: San Antonio Reuse website.
