Autodesk’s software helps make sustainable design easier and more efficient across industries. The benefits include:
Autodesk Green Solutions
Ecotect AnalysisAutodesk® Ecotect® Analysis green building software is a comprehensive sustainable analysis tool that delivers a wide range of simulation and analysis functionality through desktop and web-service* platforms. Powerful web-based whole-building energy, water, and carbon analysis capabilities converge with desktop tools to conduct detailed environmental simulations and visualize results.
Purpose-built for building information modeling, the Revit® applications work the way architects, structural, and MEP designers think while helping ensure the creation of accurate, coordinated design information. Through analysis of materials, quantities, energy use, and lighting in a virtual BIM, designers create real-world sustainable performance.
AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software is an industry-proven civil engineering solution that delivers the power to complete nearly any project faster. Surfaces, cross sections, profiles, annotation, and more are dynamically linked, making it quicker and easier to evaluate multiple alternatives, make smarter and more sustainable decisions, and output up-to-date plans.
AutoCAD® Map® 3D software, the leading platform for creating and editing spatial data, delivers practical mapping functionality to integrate CAD and geospatial information. AutoCAD Map 3D helps governments and businesses develop and maintain eco-friendly cities and power utilities, as well as support the protection of earth’s natural resources.
