Product Description
Go green with BIM with this timely and up-close look at two of the fastest growing movements in the architecture, engineering and construction industry: sustainable design and building information modeling. Expert authors and professional architects Eddy Krygiel and Bradley Nies have created the ideal reference for AEC professionals wishing to incorporate green practices into their projects. This book begins with an overview of sustainable design and BIM, discussing how the design and construction industry has arrived at a crossroads and why we need to look to new approaches and methodologies to solve the problems we've inherited over the course of time. Because implementing these methodologies can be drastic changes in your firm's culture and approach to design and delivery, the authors put forth best practices regarding workflow, integrating project teams, and an order of operations approach to sustainable design. You'll also learn core concepts and gain a deeper understanding of keys to sustainability in building design, touching on building envelope, systems, materiality, and orientation. Whether you've had experience with sustainable design and BIM or are still a little green, this book will help you advance your practice and move you forward to a more sustainable future.

Essential design strategies October 5, 2008
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.
Excellent guide, with real life examples and experiences May 2, 2008

This is a groundbreaking exploration of what you can do TODAY with BIM to make your buildings sustainable. Its got a lot of pictures and graphics that neatly explain the concepts. You can tell from reading the first few chapters that these guys really know what they are talking about.
