Building Information ModelingIntroduced by Autodesk in 2002, the term building information modeling (BIM) refers to the creation and use of coordinated, consistent, computable information about a building project in design—information used for design decision making, production of high-quality construction documents, predicting performance, cost-estimating and construction planning, and, eventually, for managing and operating the facility. | Images modeled in Revit Architecture. |

Revit Architecture was formerly known as Autodesk® Revit® Building Industry ReportsNew Practice and Business Models Emerge in the Study of Architecture, Design, and Real Estate
Building lifecycle management combines the power of building information modeling with online collaboration services to solve business problems across entire the building lifecycle. This important report by Counsel House Research, a division of The Greenway Group Inc. is based on interviews with firm decision-makers of leading real estate, design, and construction organizations worldwide. It confirms industry readiness for building information modeling and the benefits that flow from it. Autodesk Revit: Implementation in PracticeAutodesk is pleased to offer industry professionals this important industry report, prepared by the noted industry analyst, author, and consultant Dr. Lachmi Khemlani. Taking into account survey data and personal interviews, Dr. Khemlani focuses on the process changes, benefits, and challenges that firms today are experiencing as they implement building information modeling with Autodesk® Revit® Building. The unvarnished reporting as well as real-world case studies and data used to develop this report will be invaluable to anyone looking to use building information modeling and Autodesk Revit Building to improve their business.

BIM for Sustainable Design
Building information modeling facilitates complex pro¬ces¬ses and an¬al¬y¬ses that were previously too laborious or expensive to perform. This white paper details how Autodesk Revit Building, Autodesk’s purpose-built BIM solution, supports key aspects of sustainable design and “green” certification. Barriers to BIM
By Phillip G. Bernstein FAIA, VP AEC and Jon H. Pittman AIA, Senior Director, Strategic Research The productivity, quality, and coordination benefits of building information modeling (BIM) for architects and engineers are well understood, and BIM applications are being embraced by this corner of the industry. But what is required for the building industry to expand BIM to the kind of process benefits technology has brought to other industries? This white paper, written by two experienced industry technologists, offers a nuanced and practical analysis of the issues the industry as a whole is facing today and will be facing tomorrow, and how technology and building information modeling relates to those issues. BIM and Performance-Based Design
As buildings assume a broader social and economic role in our cities, designers are balancing form-making with building performance concerns. Can building information modeling help? You bet! Read this short but important white paper, delivered at the University of Pennsylvania symposium on "Performative Architecture."
