Google uses renewable energy sources for 37% of its power needs as of 2015. It has invested nearly $2.5 billion in clean energy projects like wind and solar farms. These projects can generate over 2.9 gigawatts of electricity, which is enough to power many homes each year. The document also discusses how Google's data centers are efficient users of energy and how individual Google services require less energy than driving a car short distances.
The 1st OECD Roundtable on Cities and Regions for the SDGs was held at the OECD Headquarters in Paris on 7 March 2019, within the scope of the OECD programme on A Territorial Approach to the SDGs. The Roundtable brought together cities, regions, national governments, international organisations, private sector and other key stakeholders to identify trends and challenges in the localisation of the SDGs, including the experiences and key findings from the pilots of the programme.
While energy efficiency has led to significant energy savings in the past, there is still potential for further improvements. Global energy needs are expected to greatly increase by 2100 due to population growth, and lifestyle improvements in developing countries. However, technologies exist to improve efficiency in industries, buildings, appliances, and more. Continued investment in energy efficiency can help meet future energy demands more sustainably and cost-effectively than increasing energy production.

HSBCad delivers software solutions to the prefab industry to enable them to be free to construct any design, with any technology, and with any production system. Now and in the future, improving their competitive edge.
In construction the biggest money loss happens on site. Hsbcad offers software applications to make this prefabrication happen, both applications that work on the desktop and cloud solutions. This presentation will cover these solutions and more, including:
- More about HSBCad
- Complexity, detail and automation solution on Revit CFE
hsbTimber on Revit
- Jump into the cloud: hsbShare
-From cloud to AR with Hololens case study
Forge - DevCon 2016: Bringing BIM to Facility Management with Forge – Collabo...Autodesk
Brian Haines, FM:Systems
FM:Systems detail how they are using the Forge Model Derivative API and Viewer to enable their customers to move to BIM for Facility Management. We will explore the challenges facing organizations who are managing large dynamic facility portfolios and how Autodesk solutions were a natural fit to help transition FM:Systems customers to true Lifecycle BIM for Facility Operations and away from traditional CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) based solutions.
The document discusses a presentation about the Design Automation API given by representatives from Autodesk, Risersoft, and BIMobject. It provides an overview of the API and demonstrations of how it can be used to process DWG files without needing to install or run AutoCAD locally. Risersoft demonstrates their UnitCAD tool which uses rules to automate CAD model creation. BIMobject discusses how they provide parametric BIM content and how the API could be used to generate DWG files from their BIMscripts.
Forge - DevCon 2016: Dancing with Elephants, Leveraging Market Leaders to Gro...Autodesk
Jim Quanci, Autodesk
As a small company or startup, partnering with a large, established company can be like dancing with an elephant – one small misstep and you get squashed. But the upside is well worth it for the fleet-footed. A large company can bring to the dance all those things that are scarce for you as a startup - money, people, time, industry expertise and a huge customer base. Learn how you can use leaders in the market such as Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, IBM and even Autodesk to stretch your marketing dollar, add virtual R&D staff to your team, finance your business growth – and accelerate your exit strategy.

Forge - DevCon 2016: Collaborative VR using Google Cardboard & the View & Dat...Autodesk
Kean Walmsley, Autodesk Research
One of the issues with VR today relates to the largely solitary experience it delivers: the user is by definition immersed and isolated from the people around them. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Web technology allows us to enable collaborative design reviews in VR, where one person guides others through a virtual experience.
Google Expeditions allows teachers to take their students on virtual field trips to the Great Wall of China or to the bottom of the ocean. We’ll be showcasing a comparable solution – using Forge – for the design industry, whereby architects and engineers can lead a group of participants – each using Google Cardboard – through a design review in a virtual space.
This session will demonstrate a prototype, collaborative VR solution created by a cross-divisional Autodesk team as part of the 2015 VR Hackathon in San Francisco.
Forge - DevCon 2016: Creating your next VR Walkthrough with Cloud Rendered St...Autodesk
Michael Beale, Autodesk
If you are building a VR walkthrough like Google Street View, learn how you can use Forge to generate your stereo-panorama assets. A simple cube-map is all you need to display on your mobile device to experience depth and immersion. Using the API, you can learn how to extract alpha maps and depth maps to create parallax effects with camera translation, and blend in real 3D geometry into the scene.
Forge - DevCon 2016: Introduction to building for HoloLensAutodesk
The document discusses the capabilities and features of the HoloLens augmented reality headset. It describes how HoloLens blends interactive holographic content with the physical environment using features like gaze input, gesture input, voice commands, spatial mapping, and spatial sound. It provides examples of how these features can be used to build immersive experiences and applications for storytelling, exploration, collaboration, and more. Resources for developing for HoloLens using tools like the HoloToolkit and Windows Holographic platform are also mentioned.

This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on Autodesk Forge 3D Print API. The presentation will cover an overview of the 3D Print API, how Dremel leverages Forge, print preparation steps, the printer simulator, sending a print job to a printer, and connecting to service bureaus. The document includes code samples for importing and repairing meshes, generating supports, creating trays, slicing models, and submitting print jobs using the Forge 3D Print API in Python.
