Class Description: Decisions made at the conceptual design phase of a project can have the greatest impact on efficient performance. Learn how teaming Revit models with Ecotect can lead to better sustainable design decisions. A digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a project can simulate real-world performance and construction processes, allowing architects, engineers, builders, and owners to make decisions that lead to more efficient delivery and reduced environmental impact. Ecotect provides modeling, visualization, and analysis features that show how the environment will impact building performance while it's still early enough to do something about it. If you're wondering how you and your firm can design in an environmentally responsible manner, without having to involve outside consultants and additional resources, this class will get you on the right track!
