New Autodesk Green Projects Feature Revit BIM

Autodesk is sponsoring two new green sites. In June 2006, they are sponsoring a six-part PBS television series narrated by Brad Pitt titled "e2, the Economics of Being Environmentally Conscious". They're building a site Design e2 that has streaming video, downloadable audio & video podcasts, with other content that focuses on the themes of "reduce, reuse and recycle".

The Autodesk Sustainable Design Center
The Sustainable Center will be an online meeting place to share ideas, stories and resources around sustainable design. The site will feature environmentally progressive projects, thought leader profiles, case studies and stories that demonstrate what is imaginable in the future and what is achievable today. Additionally, the Sustainability Center will provide a resource section that will be a living library of articles to read, groups to join, places to meet and forums for discussion. The site is scheduled to be available May 31, 2006. You can pre-register using the link above to obtain email notices from the site when it goes live.

Both sites are in development and available in a limited fashion. As Autodesk sponsors the PBS series, we'll have an opportunity to see Revit purple in the green public spotlight.
