March 2009 - Welcome Kit for Autodesk Ecotect Analysis 2010

Subscribers to Autodesk® Ecotect™ Analysis can get access to the Autodesk® Green Building Studio® web-based service for the duration of their subscription. The web-service enables faster, more accurate whole-building energy, water, and carbon emission analyses and helps architects—the majority of which are not specially trained in any of these analyses—to evaluate the carbon footprint of a Revit-based building design with greater ease.

This available for subscription users to download from the subscription centre - www.autodesk.com/subscription.
