Autodesk Green Building Tools

Going Green is Easier with Autodesk's Green Building Tools

Everyone says "green" these days. It's very in to be Sustainable and
LEED certified is nearly a given with the crop of government projects
and new government incentives. But how do you analyze your building
before it's built? Autodesk(R) Ecotect Analysis(TM) and Autodesk(R)
Green Building Studio(R) offer BIM-enabled Sustainable design, allowing
architects and designers to make decisions early in the design process,
look at multiple options and choose the best one for the job in a
quick, visual format.

Join us for a complimentary hour-long overview of Autodesk Ecotect
Analysis or Green Building Studio to see how these programs can help
you with solar, thermal and acoustic analysis as well as ENERGY Star
scoring, daylighting and energy and carbon results.

Avatech's LEED-accredited technical expert will show you how these
tools can be used in your everyday workflow to provide a better, more
intelligent energy-efficient model.

Autodesk - Green Building Studio

The second environmental analysis program in our three part introduction series towards the Revit Classroom Workflow Chart.  

The Autodesk® Green Building Studio® web-based energy analysis service can help architects and designers perform whole building analysis, optimize energy efficiency, and work toward carbon neutrality earlier in the design process. With faster, more accurate energy analysis of building design proposals, architects and designers can work with sustainability in mind earlier in the process, plan proactively, and build better.

The best explanation for this program is are the videos on Autodesk's Website: See them here.
