Autodesk announces cloud-based solutions that extend the digital thread, drive sustainability
Digital transformation is breaking down silos, one by one. As collaboration improves, so do the questions—big ones that challenge how we manage assets, share data, and adapt to a renewable energy future.
Questions like: Can **owners and operators** optimize their current assets and cut future costs? Can **design and engineering teams** share data without risking intellectual property? Can **electrical engineers** adopt new tools and workflows to support the shift toward renewable energy?
Three big questions. One answer: Yes.
At Autodesk University (AU) 2022, we announced groundbreaking advancements aimed at improving collaboration and unifying workflows across the teams that design, build, and operate the built environment. Here’s what’s new:
---
### **Extending the Value of BIM for Owners and Operators**
Data is becoming a key business asset, yet 95% of it remains unused in construction and engineering. That’s where **Autodesk Tandem** steps in. It connects operational systems with BIM data, creating a digital twin that helps owners monitor and optimize facility performance.
This year, we’re expanding Tandem to include **facility monitoring**, allowing real-time insights into energy use, occupant comfort, and more. For example, Tandem can integrate with building management systems and environmental sensors to track energy patterns and suggest adjustments that save money without compromising comfort.
The public beta for **Tandem Facility Monitoring** is coming soon.

### **BIM Insights and Asset Operations Unite in One Solution**
With remote work on the rise, building owners are looking for smarter, more efficient ways to manage their portfolios. That’s why we partnered with **iOffice + SpaceIQ** to bring together BIM, building operations, and workplace software into a single platform.
The **Archibus and Autodesk AEC Collection Bundle** enables centralized data management, helping owners and operators extract value from BIM data both during and after construction. This integration allows them to use design data in operations and apply operational insights to future designs—driving cost savings and sustainability.

### **Info360 Plant Brings Operational Analytics to Water Management**
Water and energy conservation are no longer optional—they’re essential. With **Info360 Plant**, Autodesk brings real-time analytics to water and wastewater treatment facilities, helping operators reduce energy use, manage risks, and meet compliance standards.
Built by water experts, Info360 Plant uses digital twins to improve efficiency, lower carbon footprints, and support sustainable water management. It empowers teams to make data-driven decisions and justify infrastructure improvements.

### **Enhanced Cloud Collaboration for AEC Teams**
Cloud collaboration is key to faster project delivery and fewer errors. We’ve made several updates to **Autodesk Construction Cloud** to improve coordination and protect intellectual property.
- **Bridge Tool**: Enables secure, controlled sharing of project data between teams, reducing the risk of data leaks.
- **Civil 3D Desktop Connector**: Allows users to access and update project data quickly from anywhere.
- **Sheet Set Manager**: Streamlines documentation management, making it easier to create, edit, and share drawings from the cloud.
- **PlanGrid Build App**: Helps field teams stay connected with the office, ensuring everyone has the latest information and reducing rework.

### **Teamwork for a Sustainable Future**
As climate change drives innovation, we’re working with partners like **Schneider Electric** to help electrical engineers design for a renewable energy future. The **Advanced Electrical Design for Revit** tool integrates directly with BIM, streamlining workflows, reducing repetitive tasks, and improving energy efficiency.
This solution supports long-term digital transformation and helps engineers meet evolving energy demands.
---
### **New Tools for the AEC Industry**
At AU 2022, we also launched **Autodesk Forma**, a new industry cloud that unifies BIM workflows across design, build, and operate teams. And we partnered with **Epic Games** to bring **Twinmotion** into Revit, enabling immersive, real-time design experiences.
These innovations are part of our ongoing commitment to help customers build a more sustainable, connected, and efficient world.
