Autodesk Green Building Studio
 

How to Buy

There are two options to purchase Autodesk Green Building Studio: either as a subscription entitlement to qualifying Autodesk products and suites; or as a standalone web service.

Option 1: Purchase subscription with a qualifying Autodesk product

Customers who add subscription to Autodesk® Ecotect Analysis®, Revit Suites, or other qualifying products and suites, can access whole building energy analysis capabilities via the web-based technology provided by Autodesk Green Building Studio®. Contact your reseller for information on the current qualifying products www.autodesk.com/reseller.

  1. Ask your reseller to add subscription to your qualifying product purchase.
  2. When your reseller completes your order be sure it includes subscription--one of the subscription center benefits is an entitlement to Green Building Studio for the duration of your subscription contract.
  3. The contract manager will be assigned the role of the Green Building Studio administrator.
  4. The role can be assigned to a software coordinator during the order process by designating that person on the order.
  5. The administrator's role includes managing users, and inviting users to access projects and project templates.
  6. After the order is submitted the contract manager will receive a welcome kit email from the Autodesk Subscription Center with their User ID and temporary password. This same ID and password is used to login to the Green Building Studio web service. The first time you login to the web service you will be asked for additional information and to accept the Terms of Use for the service.
  7. Your account is ready to create projects and add users if you have purchased more than one seat. You will be directed to the Autodesk Subscription Center to invite users to the qualifying product under the contract administration tab.
