 Nature vs. Neon (PDF - 1.025MB)
A white paper by Autodesk Vice President, Phillip G. Bernstein, that addresses whether sustainable design can save money and the environment.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Sustainable Design (pdf - 884Kb)
Revit MEP is the purpose-built building information modeling (BIM) software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering. This white paper explores how key concepts of BIM improve MEP design processes, both building mechanical and electrical, and how those processes are further enhanced when combined with Revit-based architectural or structural workflows, or both.

BIM for Sustainable Design (pdf – 884 Kb)
Building information modeling facilitates complex processes and analyses that were previously too laborious or expensive to perform. This white paper details how Autodesk's purpose-built BIM solution supports key aspects of sustainable design and "green" certification.
Using BIM for Greener Designs
(pdf – 82 Kb)
The cornerstone of BIM is the high-quality design information it provides. This paper delves into a practical example of how architects can use this information to quickly and accurately perform energy analysis on early-stage building designs, for data that supports construction of "green" buildings.
Revit BIM for Small Firms (pdf – 268 Kb)
This white paper provides implementation "best practices" that will enable smaller firms to quickly reap the benefits of BIM.

Learn more about the productivity and economic benefits of building information modeling (BIM) to the global building industry.
Revit BIM Interior Design (pdf – 780 Kb)
Learn how BIM is being applied to the design of the inside of the building - the finishes, the fixtures, the area requirements, the furniture schedules. This paper examines the use of Revit Architecture software for the interior design of a building.
Revit BIM Cost Estimating (pdf – 628 Kb)
This white paper explores how the reliable information held within a building information model can be used to support cost estimating.
Revit BIM Building Maker (pdf – 72 Kb)
This paper describes how Revit Architecture links conceptual modeling tools and the detailed design tools and the benefits of that relationship.

BIM - (pdf 354 Kb)
This paper profiles best practices for implementing building information
modeling (BIM) solutions, exploring the key success factors for a
successful BIM deployment, the process and staffing changes that
can be expected, and the requisite training needs for BIM.
Parametric
Building Modeling; BIM's Foundation -
(pdf 327 Kb)
This paper presents a brief explanation of parametric building modeling,
providing several tests you can apply to determine if a BIM solution
is using a true parametric building modeler (as characterized below),
and exploring why parametric building modeling is so critical for
BIM.
Tapping
BIM using ODBC - (pdf 455 Kb)
This
paper explores how one well-established and widely adopted standard,
ODBC, is being used to communicate building information from the
Autodesk Revit platform for building information modeling to other
applications.
BIM Concept to
Completion - (pdf 86 kb)
The bulk of the time spent on a design project is in the detailed
design and construction document phases of a project, but the building's
general appearance and cost are largely fixed very early on, during
conceptual design. Because the conceptual design is so crucial to
the final building design, it would make sense to have a consistent
flow of digital building information from beginning to end. However,
the conceptual modeling tools and the detailed design tools are usually
separate environments (unrelated software solutions), so the building
models resulting from these two design stages have no association
- digitally speaking. This paper describes how Autodesk Revit Building
links those two environments and the benefits of that relationship.

in Action at Oculus - (pdf 346 kb)
This
paper provides a real-world perspective from one firm that started
experimenting with building information modeling several years
ago and is now using Autodesk Revit Building every day for 80%

BIM Down Under -
(pdf 267 kb)
This paper explores how Autodesk Revit Building
is being adopted by Australia’s building industry - characterized by its hands-on,
can-do approach to new technology - and profiles why some firms ‘down
under’ are discovering the competitive advantages of building
information modeling.
Using
BIM for Greener Designs - (pdf 330 kb)
The
cornerstone of building information modeling is the high-quality
design information it provides. This paper delves into a practical
example of one way that this information is being utilized – in
this case allowing architects to perform faster and more accurate
energy analysis on early stage building designs, thereby promoting
the construction of “green buildings.”
