Data Driven Design: A Case Study About HMC Architects' Unique Workflow

Integrating Sustainable Strategies with Data Driven Design and Digital Workflows

The building sector is the single largest contributor to carbon emissions, being responsible for nearly 40% of it. The AIA 2030 Commitment aspires to steer future buildings away from this route, by prioritizing energy performance and transforming architectural practice “in a way that is holistic, firm-wide, project-based, and data-driven”.

To realize its mission of design for the greater good, HMC Architects takes on the AIA 2030 commitment by focusing on typologies and built environments that positively impact communities, now and in the future. In this case study, we highlight HMC's unique workflow, integrating sustainable strategies with data driven design and digital workflows.
