Sustainability is no longer optional. CAD and BIM software now include powerful energy analysis tools that help designers minimize a building's carbon footprint.

Solar Analysis

Tools like Revit allow us to perform solar studies, optimizing building orientation and shading devices to maximize natural light while minimizing heat gain.

Material Lifecycle Analysis

We can now track the embodied carbon of materials within the CAD model itself, helping architects choose eco-friendly materials like mass timber or recycled steel.
