Autodesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions help you gain powerful insight by integrating analysis, simulation, and visualization into your workflows. This enables you to make more informed decisions and implement green architecture, engineering, and construction.
The following tools can help you incorporate sustainability into your workflows and identify cost-effective ways to reduce environmental impact and improve performance.
Green Buildings
Sustainable Infrastructure
| Autodesk Building Design Suite
Maximize project value and cost-effectiveness by enabling architects, engineers, contractors, and owners to work together to create and maintain more efficient, green buildings.The Autodesk® Building Design Suite includes tools that support a sustainable design project workflow, delivered in a convenient and cost-effective package. The following products are in the Ultimate edition: - Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software—Perform sun path simulation and cloud-based conceptual energy analysis* in the design palette, and other green architecture analyses
- Autodesk® Revit® MEP software—Conduct integrated heating and cooling load calculations and conceptual energy analysis** as a foundation for engineering-driven calculations
- Autodesk® Revit® Structure software—Perform integrated analysis to study design alternatives and optimize the structure to minimize material use and waste
- Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software—Perform natural and artificial daylighting simulation
- Autodesk® Navisworks® products*—Identify wasteful conflicts and errors with model aggregation and project simulation

| Autodesk® Green Building Studio
Conduct cloud-based whole building energy analysis with this web-based software. Optimize energy efficiency, and work toward carbon neutrality earlier in the design process. Use along with Autodesk® ImageModeler™ to capture existing conditions and create models of existing buildings, to make green architecture decisions. Available to subscription customers of Revit Architecture or Revit MEP. |
| Autodesk® Ecotect® Analysis
Improve performance of existing buildings and new building designs. This comprehensive concept-to-detail tool offers a wide range of simulation and building energy analysis functionality. Conduct online energy, water, and carbon-emission analysis. Use in conjunction with other tools to visualize and simulate a building's performance within the context of its environment. |
Autodesk® Project Vasari
Create building concepts with this easy-to-use, expressive design tool. With integrated analysis for energy and carbon, you gain design insight where the most important design decisions are made. When it’s time to move to production, simply transfer your Project Vasari design data into Revit, ensuring clear execution of design intent.
| Autodesk® Seek
Search for building product materials by environmental attributes such as insulation value and recycled content. With this free** web service, you can quickly discover, preview, and download branded and generic BIM files, models, drawings, and product specifications directly into your active design sessions. |
Sustainable Infrastructure
| Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite
Use the Autodesk® Infrastructure Design Suite to gain powerful insight across the lifecycle of infrastructure projects by integrating analysis and simulation into your workflows, enabling earlier, better informed decision making. The Premium edition includes the following tools: - AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software—Use dynamic modeling features to Evaluate multiple design options for optimal performance and efficient material use
- AutoCAD® Map 3D software—Aggregate data for CAD, BIM and GIS data, including LIDAR, to help understand site selection options
- Autodesk® Storm and Sanitary Analysis software—Perform comprehensive hydrology and hydraulic analysis for planning and designing drainage systems, storm sewers, and sanitary sewers
- Autodesk Navisworks products—Identify wasteful conflicts and errors with model aggregation and project simulation tools
|
| Autodesk® Infraworks
Create and evaluate new infrastructure proposals in context of the existing build and natural environment. Drive stakeholder buy-in and inform decision making with visually rich proposals for transportation, land, water, or energy infrastructure projects. |
| Autodesk® Infrastructure Map Server
Publish and share CAD, GIS, and other infrastructure asset information quickly and cost-effectively over the Internet. This web-based mapping software is easy to use and deploy, and includes templates that enable you to quickly deliver information from AutoCAD Map 3D software to the web. |
*Web-based analysis is available to Autodesk Subscription customers of Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit MEP software during the term of their Subscription.
**Free products and services are subject to the terms of use that accompany them.
