Green BIM: Successful Sustainable Design with Building Information Modeling 1st Edition

Haven't dived into it but the book seems great.

I took the author's class through Boston Arch College. Good class, and the book gives good insights on how to parametrically design with sustainability in mind. Bravo.

Everybody is talking about the green architecture. This is one of kind book for that. It brings out the concept for what you need.

Great book

I am pretty sure I purchased a new book but the one I received was used with markings in it. Other than that, everything is fine.

As BIM becomes common place in the architectural design community, the tools and thought processes for designers will be transformed. The expectations of those who hire and pay the designer will be heightened far beyond the current standard of care.It's about time! CADD has held potential to automate, systematize, and streamline the construction industry for decades but has failed miserably to deliver. Currently with the advancement of BIM that potential is becoming a reality. We are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in our industry. Eddy Krygiel and Brad Nies have given us a glimpse of what the future holds. I am thinking every day about the impacts of what I do in my design work and with this cogent book I am more motivated to develop my basis of design concepts in a globally responsible manner. This text informs that basis with processes and theories in a very readable fashion

The best book for anyone wants to integrate BIM and Sustainability in their work practice, mainly designers.Good for both students and professionals. a step by step procedure to achieve Green Design using BIM technology, with real life examples, procedures, calculations, etc...The main program discussed is Autodesks's Revit, wish they used more than one application.

A good buy
