  1. Nathaniel will guide us step by step through using Revit 2010 with the Green Building Studio web service from Autodesk. Green Building Studio is a web-based energy analysis service that can help architects and designers perform whole building analysis, optimize energy efficiency, and work toward carbon neutrality earlier in the design process. Green Building Studio is part of the Ecotect subscription license.
  2. We will be discussing the recent developments on “Common Carbon Metrics” that the global alliance of Green Building Organizations initiated and agreed upon at their conference in November 2009. The metric is recognized by the UNEP Sustainable Building and Climate Initiative, and was highlighted before decision-makers at the COP15 conference in Copenhagen in December. These common metrics will eventually enable us to easily benchmark our designs against projects around the world. By looking at administrative buildings, hospitals and residences we want to find out what the status of energy intensity is today in different countries around the world so we will be able to compare them to our designs.
