Sustainability

Autodesk believes today’s building projects should be sustainable by design. Driving sustainable design awareness and adoption is one of the many benefits of building information modelling (BIM) technology. Autodesk is proud that our technology is at the forefront of helping architects, engineers, and construction professionals create a more sustainable world.

	BIM for Sustainable Design (pdf - 884Kb) Building information modelling facilitates complex processes and analyses that were previously too laborious or expensive to perform. This white paper details how Autodesk's purpose-built BIM solution supports key aspects of sustainable design and "green" certification.
	Using BIM for Greener Designs (pdf - 82Kb) The cornerstone of BIM is the high-quality design information it provides. This paper delves into a practical example of how architects can use this information to quickly and accurately perform energy analysis on early-stage building designs, for data that supports construction of "green" buildings.
