International innovation awards program announces winners and names Vectorworks features a top-level award winner
Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks, Inc. is pleased to announce that the Sustainability Dashboard, which debuted in the release of Vectorworks 2026, has received a three-star certification in the latest round of judging for The DaVinci Awards®.
The DaVinci Awards® is an international awards body that celebrates outstanding displays of innovation and significant achievements in business, technology, products, and lifestyle. Nominations are accepted on behalf of individuals, teams or departments, entire organisations, or specific products or services, within any industry or sector. Entrants are judged quarterly, with successful nominations earning a one-, two-, or three-star award.
“We’re delighted to award Vectorworks a DaVinci Award®, in recognition of their work in providing real-time environmental performance in architecture, urban planning, or building information modelling (BIM) projects,” said CEO and founder of The DaVinci Awards®, James Williams. “Three-star awards are earned by nominees that embody innovation and deliver unparalleled impact—either by addressing an unmet need or significantly improving an existing area to the point of setting a new standard for others to aspire to. Many congratulations to Vectorworks on securing this award.”
The Vectorworks Sustainability Dashboard brings environmental performance directly into the design process, giving designers real-time insight into the sustainability impact of their projects as they evolve. By automatically aggregating data from a design model, the dashboard tracks four key metrics: Embodied Carbon, Urban Greening Factor (UGF), Biomass Density, and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). With this information readily available, designers can evaluate the environmental implications of their decisions and identify opportunities to improve project outcomes throughout the design process.
“Vectorworks has delivered an exceptional innovation in sustainable design, transforming environmental analysis from a separate, retrospective exercise into an active part of the creative process,” added The DaVinci Awards® COO, Annabelle Whittall. “Vectorworks’ ambitious approach to making environmental performance an everyday design consideration rather than a late-stage compliance exercise was particularly impressive to the judges.”
“The Sustainability Dashboard launched to provide instant, real-time insight into a project’s environmental performance, giving architects the confidence to push boundaries and deliver projects that make a measurable difference for people and the planet,” said Vectorworks VP of product marketing, Rubina Siddiqui. “It’s powerful to see that impact be celebrated by The DaVinci Awards® recognition, as we are committed to shaping the next generation of design technology that leads toward a more sustainable built environment with smarter, more resilient designs.”
