Topology (or Shape) Optimization in Autodesk Fusion 360 allows you to quickly simulate an improved model based on a given load and constraints.
Buildings use energy, materials, water, and land to create the right environment for their occupants. All of these things cost money – and all of them have an environmental impact.
For a CFD simulation to produce a result, the environment around the design must be defined. This environment is described by the boundary conditions. These conditions are the inputs for your simulation and so using them properly is necessary for good simulation results.
The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI)'s “Factor Ten” initiative has the goal of teaching engineers how to design for tenfold- higher resource productivity. These 17 practical principles summarize the integrative design techniques that RMI uses in its work.

Orchard bus stop offers a flexible design that allows for multiple layouts and includes components that can be adjusted depending on the available space, geographical location and specific needs of the urban environment.
Prism is a modular system of illuminated tables designed for college students and other people living in temporary situations. Prism integrates tables and ambient lighting into a single product that comes flat-packed and is easy to assemble and disassemble.
The Bubble Shower concept explores ways for the shower to reduce water consumption without compromising its performance. More importantly, it offers features help users to be more conscious of how much water they use when bathing, generating a sustainable behavior that will carry on to other activities.
“Caterpillar” shoes are designed to integrate flexible materials and a lacing system that expands and compresses up to three sizes. The modular design also allows users to personalize the shoes according to individual styles and to replace components that tend to wear out often.
