As a landscape designer, you’re likely looking for new ways to integrate sustainable objectives into your site design workflow. These objectives can stem from a conscientious client, a jurisdictional mandate, or a desire to create a positive environmental impact beyond each project site.

Fortunately, technology is more capable than ever to support your sustainability objectives. This presentation will showcase various firms’ successes found in using their design software and other technology integrations to achieve their goals for environmental stewardship. It will also explore opportunities where technology can continue to develop for better landscape performance.

Attendees will:

  • Consider existing standards (BREEAM, LEED, SITES, and MWELO) as examples in recognised objectives for environmental protective and sustainable site design, installation, and maintenance.
  • Understand existing successes found with design and BIM technology in meeting and exceeding sustainable objectives.
  • Discover sustainable opportunities for design technology and the role it plays in future compliance with sustainable standards attempting to counter climate change.
