Green Building with BIM
Designing, building and managing a green building can be a complex and daunting task. Autodesk solutions for Building Information Modeling (BIM) make it easier for designers, architects, engineers, contractors, and owners to make better informed decisions that cost-effectively reduce the impact of buildings.
Collaborate Across Design, Construction, and Management Teams
Autodesk BIM solutions facilitate an improved way of working collaboratively. Using BIM, extended design, engineering, and construction teams share consistent, reliable information. Teams can more easily and rapidly analyze, evaluate, and implement green building options in new and existing buildings.
| LEED Green Building Designed with Integrated Project Delivery
Learn how cross-functional teams came together to meet ambitious goals for LEED Platinum green building certification on a short schedule and with tight budget. The architect, construction manager, and engineers coordinated details in real time early on to optimize the design and completed the project in just 10 months.

Visualize, Simulate, and Analyze Green Design Elements
Using BIM, extended design teams can visualize design changes and simulate how various scenarios will affect building performance. With this direct feedback, designers can analyze alternatives that will improve energy efficiency, optimize for natural light and ventilation, evaluate viability and placement of solar panels, and more.
