We don\u2019t hear this enough: a low-carbon future is possible. I come to that conclusion when I talk with our customers. Increasingly, they share stories that connect our software to their\u2014and our\u2014sustainability goals. They\u2019re using our tools to embed carbon management into a building\u2019s DNA. To run energy analysis at every stage of design. To monitor and operate more efficient water systems. One customer on this journey with us is Ramboll<\/a>, a global architecture, engineering, and construction firm. I sat down with Peter Heymann Andersen, Chief Operating Officer, to hear how Ramboll is driving more sustainable outcomes with Autodesk by its side. Amy: Peter, thank you for joining me. I love speaking with customers, and I\u2019m hearing more and more that sustainability is a business imperative. Is this true for Ramboll?\u202f<\/strong><\/em> Peter<\/strong>: Absolutely. Making a positive impact and helping our clients achieve their sustainability goals is at the heart of everything we do. We introduced a company-wide strategy<\/a> as a response to the immediate need to halve greenhouse gas emissions to keep global warming below 1.5 \u00b0C. One year in, we are on track to embed sustainability into the core of our project portfolio, focusing on solving some of the world\u2019s most pressing challenges\u2013decarbonization, resilience, resource management and circularity, and biodiversity. Amy: Ramboll recently chose Autodesk to be your \u201cPartner for Sustainable Change.\u201d Why Autodesk?\u202f<\/strong><\/em> Peter<\/strong>: To live our strategy, we understand that technology is vital. But we also need partnerships to develop and scale differentiating tech capabilities. With Autodesk solutions, we can improve our design capabilities by applying the latest design technologies to sustainability challenges. In turn, we can help our clients radically reduce their carbon footprint. Amy: Tell me more about Ramboll\u2019s digital transformation journey. Can you share a tangible example?\u202f<\/strong><\/em> Peter<\/strong>: As a global company with diverse business areas and clients, our digital project delivery had varied significantly. This caused gaps in knowledge sharing. Our teams weren\u2019t aligned on common processes, which impacted our efficiency in delivery\u2013and ultimately, the way we collaborated with each other. With a goal to fast-track our digital transformation, we established an initiative with Autodesk to transform our ways of working. We adopted a data-centric mindset and a globally streamlined, yet configurable, environment where repetitive tasks can be automated. The result is we\u2019ve become cloud-based, with no need to download. Everyone works with the same data, mitigating mistakes and rework while optimizing performance and speed. This digital-first approach helps us deliver the best experience and project to our clients. It also gives our employees new pathways to grow their careers. Amy: Can you share recent projects Ramboll has completed with Autodesk software and why they\u2019re significant?\u202f\u202f<\/strong><\/em> Peter<\/strong>: Let\u2019s start with a project from Henning Larsen, the architecture, landscape, and urbanism studio that is part of Ramboll Group. Currently under construction, the Marmormolen<\/a> project is a multiuser office building in Copenhagen. When completed, it will be one of the largest contemporary timber structures in Denmark. Every stage of the project used Autodesk solutions. Revit was the tool of choice from schematic design through construction, as well as for lifecycle analysis calculations and documentation. Autodesk Construction Cloud hosted models that were shared between different disciplines and provided a model viewer for project managers. And finally, Dynamo graphed automated project tasks. <\/p>\n

In the UK, we are supporting work on HS2 alongside several design and contracting partners. HS2 is a high-speed railway<\/a> that will form the backbone of Britain’s transport network. It is currently Europe\u2019s largest infrastructure project. The complexity of stakeholders means we need to provide data outputs that fit all parties’ needs. We do this by leveraging Autodesk’s out-of-the-box software, like Civil 3D, alongside some toolkits, to create the right solution. The flexibility of Autodesk solutions means that our development teams can add our own complementary solutions to ensure the most valuable output. <\/p>\n

And in Stockholm, Sweden, we have also played a central role in a waste collection plant. The new plant\u2019s purpose is to increase biogas and achieve the national food waste collection target. First, the plant automatically sorts waste and converts it to biogas. Combustible waste goes on to the adjacent Stockholm Exergis facility to provide heating energy, while plastic and metal are recycled at other locations. Our involvement in design included the feasibility study, system documentation, detailed design, and client support. The team used Revit throughout the project, particularly for 3D reinforcement and schedules, and Dynamo for automation. <\/p>\n

Amy: Can you share business outcomes Ramboll has achieved using Autodesk solutions?\u202f<\/strong><\/em> Peter<\/strong>: Our partnership with Autodesk brings together some of the best minds in the industry to deliver solutions that transform the client experience. Consider that 8,000 to 10,000 Ramboll employees use Autodesk solutions regularly. That is a lot of people working closely with technology to drive sustainable outcomes all over the world.\u202f\u202fEvery year, Ramboll is involved in the construction of approximately 10 million m2 of new buildings. Collaborating with Autodesk helps us to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of every square meter. This work is an essential strategy for meeting our target to halve embodied carbon emissions from new buildings projects globally by 2030.\u202f\u202fThe partnership also gives us the opportunity to share business insights and collaborate on emerging technology. We help evaluate the functionality and features of new technology before release, ultimately shaping the final product. Amy: What is Ramboll hoping to accomplish in the next five years with Autodesk?\u202f<\/strong><\/em> Peter<\/strong>: We hope to develop solutions that leverage the latest technology to unlock new value for the clients of both companies through transforming project delivery, business development and business model innovation. By combining engineering expertise and advanced technology capabilities, we aim to elevate sustainability impacts on development projects all over the world. Amy:<\/strong> Working alongside customers like Ramboll to solve complex challenges is our biggest lever to support positive change. As Ramboll shows us, a sustainability revolution is here. Together, we know a better world\u2014designed and made for all\u2014is possible. <\/p>\n
