Embodied Carbon Calculation - Landscape Projects

Beginner
1h

Embodied Carbon Calculation - Landscape Projects

Start

A recent article by the American Society of Landscape Architects shares that, in landscapes, approximately 75% of emissions stem from embodied carbon generated through the extraction, manufacturing, transportation, and installation of landscape materials. 

Join landscape industry expert Marketa Hermova for an enlightening webinar on estimating embodied carbon and utilizing tools that empower you to make impactful design choices regarding material and product specifications. This session will also showcase how you can actively tackle a landscape project's carbon footprint through workflows highlighted in a project case study.

To receive 1 APLD CEU, please make sure to login and complete the quiz after watching our webinar.

Revit Interoperability with Vectorworks Landmark: A Guide

Start

This guide will focus on file exchanges Vectorworks Landmark (or Design Suite) design professionals have with collaborators using Autodesk’s Revit® proprietary format (RVT) and the Revit family file format (RFA). With its 2017 version, Vectorworks introduced RVT and RFA import capabilities, and with version 2020, RVT export was introduced, meeting the requests of many users being required to receive and share using these formats. With the 2023 version, Revit referencing was introduced, enabling updates to the RVT or RFA files collaborators share. Since these releases, and with the help of the Open Design Alliance (ODA) libraries, these exchanges have continued to see enhancements, making the user collaboration experience easier.
