 Hi, my name is John Baspigil with Spectrum, a software platform for the architecture industry that seamlessly integrates computer-aided design software with sustainability analysis. In the last 10 years, energy codes, energy efficiency standards, and green building rating systems have proliferated globally. While this is certainly great for the environment, U.S. architecture firms will waste over $6 billion this year trying to navigate these complex codes. Design solutions do not relate design decisions with building performance. They analyze only a portion of a building's impacts, and they fail to provide suggestions on how to improve a design, leaving an architect to trial-and-error methods. As a result, architects wind up reworking their designs and extending project costs by 10%. Spectrum introduces building performance feedback earlier in the design process, shortening projects, reducing costs, improving building performance, enabling code compliance and enhancing decision-making. Spectrum's platform integrates CAD software, analysis tools, and cloud-based algorithms. The technology requires only three inputs, generates many design options, and allows architects to easily identify high-performing solutions. John Baspigill is a postdoctoral fellow in civil engineering at Stanford, with a background in building life-cycle assessment. Sergio Tarantino is a PhD student in civil engineering at Stanford, with a background in building energy modeling. Zach Wolf is a strategic planner and is an MBA and master's in civil engineering from MIT. We have spoken with 200 design professionals and are partnering with 30 architecture firms on prototype development. Our technology has been validated on two projects, saving architects 21% in life-cycle costs and preventing the emission of over 2 million tons of CO2 equivalents.
