a staggering 60% of

emissions come from
the built environment,
clogging skies and
heating the earth.
Revit
®
software, purpose built
for BIM, along with leading
analysis partners, give users
the ability to predict a building’s
impact – including its energy
consumption and waste – so they
can design ways of reducing both.
Working from a digital
model, users can assess a
design’s environmental
impact, all before ground is
even broken. Learn about

HOW BIM
CAN HELP
REDUCE THIS BUILDING’S
CARBON FOOTPRINT –
BEFORE IT’S BUILT.
