The Bottom Line

Sustainability is an increasingly important goal for your clients. Revit, thanks to its BIM database of project information, provides tools that greatly simplify sustainability analysis.
Incorporate a sustainable approach from project inception Sustainability is quickly becoming a core approach to any design. Learn to leverage the Revit model for a more holistic approach to sustainability. Master It BIM is also a computational database that can report information about the vir-tual building. The important thing about a sustainable approach is to know which questions to ask and to ask them at the right time. Use Revit to track sun and shade patterns Understanding the sun’s effect on a building is paramount to sustainable design Master It Use the tools within Revit to produce still and animated solar studies from inte-rior and exterior views in order to understand shading and the sun’s effect on the building and space. Track recycled materials and other sustainable strategies using schedules Keeping track of project goals is an important part of any project process. By using the schedules and other tools in Revit, you can also track key sustainability goals Master It Tracking recycled material usage is key to LEED credits and sustainability. Create a material schedule that tracks recycled content volume for concrete.
