February 5, 2007—Autodesk, Inc., is partnering with Integrated Environmental Solutions Ltd. to further enhance the Revit software platform for building information modeling (BIM) to support sustainable design.
According to Autodesk, a growing number of architects, designers, and engineers are turning to the Autodesk Revit platform for BIM to meet challenges of designing more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. Designers can help achieve higher operational efficiency and building performance through the combination of the Revit platform with building performance analysis tools that can examine the implications of alternative design strategies, take into account physical, climatic, and environmental factors, and analyze energy use, lighting, and materials in the Revit building information model, Autodesk says.
Autodesk and IES are working together to provide robust building performance analysis capabilities to the Revit platform through a workflow between Autodesk Revit Systems, Autodesk’s BIM design and documentation software for mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) engineering, and the IES Virtual Environment software suite.
