Sustainable Design
Autodesk BIM solutions help make sustainable
design practices easier, more efficient,
and less costly by enabling project participants
to create coordinated, digital design information
and documentation. This information can
then be used to more accurately visualize
and simulate performance, appearance, and
cost, thereby helping to deliver the project
faster, more economically, and with the
potential for reduced environmental impact.
Much of the specific information required
for sustainable design, analysis, code compliance,
and certification becomes routinely available
as a by-product of the design process, helping
to save time and money.
We're LEED AP!
Inlet has joined the U.S. Green Building
Council (USGBC) in their mission to transform
the way buildings and communities are designed,
built and operated. Establishing a socially
and environmentally responsible environment
improves our quality of life and helps preserve
this world for future generations. As a
USGBC corporate member, Inlet stands alongside
more than 6,300 industry leading organizations
helping to shape the future of green design.
Recently, select Inlet Applications Engineers
earned their Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) accreditation to provide you
with the best green building practices,
tools and solutions available. Our team
can help you utilize Building Information
Modeling (BIM) tools and streamline the
LEED certification process. Inlet is currently
offering training courses, lectures, and
support for Autodesk’s Energy Analysis software
Ecotect Analysis and Green Building Studio.
Is BIM Sustainable?
Today more that 50% of Architecture Firms
across the country are using Building Information
Modeling to design and document their projects.
More and more engineering consultants are
also realizing the power of a system that
is computable and flexible. Overwhelming
responses have not been focused on how fast
they can get the projects out the door,
but how well thought out and coordinated
the designs are now being documented. Seeing
exactly what all the contributors to the
Building Information Model (BIM) are currently
working on has opened dialogs and conversations
as the project is developing, which in turn,
has presented solutions well before a problem
arises. Sustainability means long-term benefit
for the environment, project life and the
users – BIM is not just allowing, but facilitating
design decisions early in the design process,
which contribute to the overall quality
of the finished project.
Integrated Project
Delivery brings all the players together
from concept to completed construction.
Ideas and decisions are reviewed collaboratively
and with Building Information Modeling’s
ability to quantify all elements of the
design, the Team is able to benefit from
continually updated information as the design
progresses.
Bring it all together on your
next project by using a holistic approach
– Building Information Modeling and Integrated
Project Delivery… all inside the context
of Sustainable Design and Best Practices
of Construction.
