**Autodesk, AIA, and You: Partners for the Planet**
The big news has finally been unveiled! At the AIA 2016 convention, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Autodesk are launching a brand-new tool designed to streamline the AIA 2030 Commitment data reporting process to the Design Data Exchange (DDx). This collaborative effort introduces an open API for the DDx, making it simpler for our industry to contribute to planetary preservation while minimizing the hassle of manual data entry.
This innovative automated connection allows over 350 AIA 2030 committed firms to submit their project and portfolio performance data directly from Autodesk Insight 360, which is included in Autodesk Revit and Autodesk FormIt 360 Pro subscriptions. By integrating Insight 360 with DDx, this automation removes the need for repetitive manual data entry, promoting continuous performance analysis and more frequent reporting throughout the design process, rather than waiting until the end of the year.
Autodesk Insight 360 empowers architects to make informed energy and environmental design decisions by providing centralized access to their building's energy and environmental performance data. With its cutting-edge analysis engines and user-friendly interface, Insight 360 offers architects the tools they need to understand the factors influencing building performance across the entire lifecycle. Automating the connection to DDx will enrich the industry’s collective knowledge base of building performance data without adding unnecessary administrative burdens.
Beyond just simplifying reporting to DDx, we believe this tool will be instrumental in helping the architecture community achieve the Architecture 2030 targets set in 2005. It does so in two primary ways: streamlining the reporting process and actively aiding in meeting those targets.
Eliminating the manual reporting overhead not only saves time but also enables architects to receive real-time updates on their projects' progress. When it comes to hitting the targets, the 2014 progress report highlighted the critical role of energy modeling. Projects incorporating energy modeling consistently performed better. For instance, in the 2014 reporting period, almost half of the projects that utilized energy modeling either met or came close to achieving the goals, compared to only 20% of non-modeled projects falling short of the 40% target. Now, with Autodesk Insight 360 significantly reducing the barriers to energy modeling, it’s feasible to apply energy modeling to nearly every project—especially in the early stages—and the automatic reporting to DDx becomes a natural extension of this process.
**How It All Works Together**
*Step 1: Design with Autodesk FormIt 360 and/or Autodesk Revit*
*Step 2: Evaluate building and environmental performance with Autodesk Insight 360*
*Step 3: Conduct AIA 2030 DDx reporting through Autodesk Insight 360*
*Step 4: Submit AIA 2030 commitment progress via AIA 2030 DDx*
Over the last few days, Autodesk released a two-part blog series ([Part 1](#), [Part 2](#)) detailing our collaboration with you as we shape the future of our industry. For the first time ever, we have access to countless tools that can elevate and refine our profession. Today, Autodesk introduces another tool that will enhance the quality of life on our planet.
