Green BIM Successful Sustainable Design with

Written by architects whose award-winning sustainable design firm "greened" both the White House and the Pentagon, this is the first book to show how to successfully create sustainable designs using Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology Discusses BIM and sustainable design; outlines processes and workflows; covers crucial analysis tools; explains how and when to test for critical environmental factors such as sun angles, rainwater collection, and wind direction; and much more Packed with field-tested techniques, tips, and tricks that professionals can implement immediately

Eddy Krygiel, AIA, LEED AP is a practicing architect at BNIM Architects, which has four projects that have received AIA COTE Top Ten Green Project Awards. Eddy is responsible for implementing BIM at BNIM and also consults for other firms looking to implement BIM. He also teaches Revit to practicing architects and architectural students and has lectured around the nation on the use of BIM in the construction industry. Eddy has co-authored papers and books on BIM and sustainability as well as several books on using Autodesk Revit Architecture.

Bradley Nies, AIA, LEED AP, is a registered architect and Director of Elements, the sustainable design consulting division of BNIM Architects. Brad has worked on all levels of U.S. Green Building Council LEED-Certified projects, including two that achieved Platinum certification.
