Green Building Studio Releases V3.0 with
Carbon Neutral Design Tools
Enabling Architects to Immediately Evaluate Carbon Neutral
Building Design Strategies
CHICAGO, Nov. 7, 2007 -- Greenbuild 2007 -- Green Building
Studio, Inc., today announced the release and general
availability of Green Building Studio V3.0. This release of
the award-winning web service features ground-breaking
capabilities for assessing carbon neutrality potential, total
PV & wind energy, emissions, total building energy, and water
consumption for commercial and residential building design
alternatives, interacting seamlessly with leading BIM design
tools from Autodesk, Graphisoft, and Google.
The release provides US EPA ENERGY STAR
Scores and Architecture 2030 targets based on every design
change and meets industry standards, including ANSI/ASHRAE
Standard 140-2004, qualified software for Energy Policy Act of
2005, and Microsoft Platform Tests for Hosted Solutions.
"The world we live in truly depends on
architects making the right decisions on their building scheme
selections to minimize or eliminate building CO2 emissions,"
said John F. Kennedy, President and CTO of Green Building
Studio. "Release V3.0 shows building design teams how low they
can go."
"Without good whole-building metrics there
is no reliable way to understand your building's energy use
compared to others, which is critical information to have
early in the design phase of a building," says Jean Lupinacci,
director of the commercial and industrial branch, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and head of the Energy Star
program. "The Green Building Studio V3.0, which now provides
ENERGY STAR ratings, makes it easy to get a quick ranking of
the energy use and carbon footprint of a new building."
Green Building Studio V3.0 can be seen
