How does Revit Architecture 2009 help with Sustainable Design?
Revit Architecture 2009 offers a rich set of capabilities that support better sustainable design decision making. For example: • Calculating material quantities to support cost estimating and study design analysis against LEED® criteria is greatly simplified through the use of the material takeoff feature. • Revit Architecture 2009 sun studies enable designers to quickly analyse sun positions and solar effects while informing the design process. • Designers can export building information, including materials and room volumes, to gbXML (green building extensible markup language) to perform energy analysis and study building performance. Using design options easily develop and evaluate multiple sustainable design alternatives. Visualise, quantify and present any combination of schemes to inform the decision making process.
