Revit User Groups: Green Building Information Modeling with Revit
The emergence of two driving forces -Green Building and Revit Information Modeling- foreshadow immense opportunities in the AEC industry. Come explore the intersection of these driving forces with Ken Hall, an Architect and Certified Sustainable Building Advisor with Ideate. We will examine current capabilities in Revit that can help us design more sustainable buildings and document LEED credits. We will also survey efficient options to capture building geometry in energy modeling tools and review new technology that will soon expand these options. Come with your questions and ideas about how we can reinvent the way we design, document, and build Green Buildings.

Ken is a licensed Architect with over two decades of AEC industry experience in information modeling and environmental design. He pioneered the application of early building modeling systems and designed his first passive solar home in 1980. Additionally, he developed one of the first web-based systems for AEC collaboration and most recently led change as the CIO of a large multi-office design firm.
