Ha/f Climate Design aims to halve greenhouse gas emissions from buildings this decade with help from One Click LCA’s tools.

Ha/f Climate Design successfully reduced 800 tons of carbon on the City of Toronto’s Paramedic Services Multifunction Station — without additional time or cost to the project.

“The power of One Click LCA is the database sitting behind it. You have access to more data, which leads to better decisions.” – Kelly Alvarez Doran, co-founder of Ha/f Climate Design

How Ha/f Climate Design used One Click LCA for an award-winning project with the City of Toronto

Construction of the campus began in September 2019, and work was completed in late 2021. Public spaces have been raised to the fourth floor making the campus specific to conventional office buildings.
The building is shaped by stacking - vertical arranging of different functions on top of each other: a parking lot on the ground floor, three floors of office spaces, a public floor with a restaurant and a conference room, and three floors with accommodation units. 

An important feature of this project is the pioneering application of the VOLUM3 platform for the cooperation of all participants in design, construction and site supervision phases.  
Every day, 139 users joined the platform and by creating (and completing) more than 1700 individual tasks, they generated more than 200 meeting reports. More than 1200 drafts were made and their delivery, alongside complete documentation, was submitted through VOLUM3. 
Thanks to VOLUM3's modules, better overview of activities, faster and better decision-making process, the completion of tasks on time, and detailed reporting were provided. This increased the overall satisfaction of all project stakeholders and reduced the risk of failure.

Campus Infobip

VOLUM3 enables construction professionals to collaborate on projects from any Internet-connected device with access to all project documents, contracts, RFIs, submittals, schedules, drawings and more.

We tested VOLUM3 with large architecture companies - they were amazed by the fact it allows them to very quickly ramp up their project and start using it for their project team(s). Most of their subcontractors were also interested in seeing VOLUM3 in action, finding it extremely easy to use and learn.

Even if you are a small company VOLUM3 enables you to compete with much larger firms by showcasing the quality of produced work directly from within the VOLUM3 Collaboration Platform.

When Lake-Flato had an opportunity to rethink its corporate headquarters in 2020, the Texas-based firm embodied its own sustainable values: Instead of building a new office, it repurposed its old one.​

The execution of this adaptive reuse project required powerful digital tools. The firm not only utilized these tools for 3D modeling and optimizing the design, but also leveraged them to prove and validate its positive design outcomes through third-party certifications. Along with prioritizing a material reuse strategy, Lake | Flato had to also think about the living conditions inside the building. ​

The firm leveraged Autodesk Forma and Revit, in tandem with advanced technologies such as AR and VR, to address these needs and transform the 100-year-old former office into a future-focused hybrid workplace that showcases environmental sustainability and creative, collaborative design.​

Skema gives Architects a path to embrace design automation while leveraging the inherent value locked in the BIM systems used by a majority of firms globally.

Skema focuses on repetitive work in an architectural practice, offering designers easy-to-use tools that run on a web browser. The significant reduction in time Skema achieves in delivering a LOD350 BIM model gives architects a major advantage in driving the shift to modular construction across the industry’s highest growth segments. 

1- Data Integrity
In Skema, the work performed during conceptual and schematic design isn't lost or discarded. Instead, once the process moves into Design Development and Construction Documents, a boost in production is realised with zero data and time lost to the process.  

Our customers are saving weeks and months of rework because of the Skema workflow.  

2- BIM Reuse
There are elements of BIM that lend themselves to AI & automation, specifically the highly repeatable design elements that have been well-defined in past projects. Even the most complex designs have highly repeatable interior elements. 

Modern building methods are forcing architects to provide more and higher levels of design detail earlier in the process. 

The Skema workflow produces high integrity models that owners, builders, and developers can trust.

You can book a demo of our technology at https://allsite.ai we then will run a pilot project with you to demonstrate how the tools can integrate into your workflows.

Level AI is a grading optimizer that can perfectly balance large sites whilst designing levels such that roading complies with local rules and all lots can be services with careful consideration of flooding. The inputs to Level AI are a 2d site plan, topographical survey, local rules are pulled from the closest previous project run. The Allsite.ai platform runs on massive GPU clusters in the cloud running billions of iterations to ensure the site perfectly balances. 

Service AI 1.0 automatically designs the servicing network in 3D given a 2d network, sizing pipes and avoiding clashes whilst meeting local clearance requirements. Service AI 2.0 (ready early 2025) will automatically lay out the servicing network in 3d placing pipes in an optimal routing.

Level AI has demonstrated 100x speed-ups on large scale projects, this speed-up allows more layouts to be explored and better outcomes for clients. Case studies in the US have demonstrated the power of the tool, generating over $1 million in earthworks savings on one project alone. Changes to the design are easy, even after construction has started as the site can be rebalanced within hours and a new servicing network designed.
