Practice Integrated Sustainable Design with BIM

Meet the challenge of integrating Building Information Modeling and sustainability with this in-depth guide, which pairs these two revolutionary movements to create environmentally friendly design through a streamlined process. Written by an award-winning team that has gone beyond theory to lead the implementation of Green BIM projects, this comprehensive reference features practical strategies, techniques, and real-world expertise so that you can create sustainable BIM projects, no matter what their scale. From basic concepts, to sophisticated test methodologies, to improved workflows, this timely book offers a wealth of information you can implement right away.

  • Learn why BIM is an important tool for sustainability 
  • Understand when and how to evaluate the effect of green resources on your projects 
  • Understand Building Information Modeling, from concept to construction 
  • See how to best use 3D geometric models instead of 2D CAD designs 
  • Factor sustainability into the design process, leveraging free environmental resources 
  • Set up a BIM model and identify material quantities to figure upstream impact and downstream consequences 
  • Transform traditional processes into new workflows that integrate the entire design team and emphasize green solutions from the start
