Abstract

The "Project Chicago: Green Research" video showcases a technology concept for a sustainability analysis dashboard. This dashboard could be used with building information modeling (BIM) software to provide architects, engineers and designers with real-time graphical feedback about the impact of their design decisions on the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating of a project. Our goal was to showcase a highly graphic, interactive technology concept to evaluate water and energy reduction, indoor environmental quality, and carbon footprint impacts and give designers an immediate sense of the results of different building designs. Using real scenarios from BNIM: Berkebile Nelson Immenschuh McDowell Architects' Lewis and Clark State Office Building in Missouri, we portrayed a design team developing alternative concepts and improving their designs as measured by the US Green Building Council's LEED® rating system for green buildings. The proposed sustainability dashboard concept is demonstrated on a 6'x3' touch screen to explore its potential use as a collaborative tool. The dashboard was presented by Autodesk® as a technology concept and it is not a commercially available product.
