In partnership with management consulting firm FMI Corp., Autodesk Inc. released findings at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2020 from an industry study, “Trust Matters: The High Cost of Low Trust,” through which 2,500-plus respondents the world over reveal how construction organizations exhibiting “very high” levels of trust achieve better financial performance than lower-scoring peers. Compared to the latter, “very high” trust entities generate more repeat business, retain more employees and drive a higher level of operational success.

Tally software provides life cycle assessment data on concrete and steel—yellow and green on the pie charts, respectively—and other materials and products early in the design stage. In response to new requirements in LEED v4, Challenge 2030 and other rating systems or project benchmarking efforts, green building practitioners are increasingly weighing LCA data in specifications.

Philadelphia architect KieranTimberlake has released a beta version of Tally, a software application allowing users to measure building materials’ and products’ environmental impact directly in Autodesk’s Revit—a key software program to support building information modeling.
