Green Building Advisor

	Green Building Advisor, v. 1.1 $179.00

Green Building Advisor 1.1 (GBA) is an innovative, interactive CD-ROM-based software tool that helps users identify design strategies that can be incorporated into specific building projects. You enter information about a project and-based on those inputs--GBA generates a list of strategies relevant to the project, organized into categories for easy review.

GBA is a brainstorming tool that can save you hours of research. Linked screens describe each strategy in detail, provide information on relative costs, describe when in the design phase to consider the strategy, explain interrelationships between strategies, identify sources for more information, and show--through case studies--how actual projects have used the strategy.

The software also includes useful overview information on green building design, an extensive green products database (based on GreenSpec), and a bibliographic guide to other green building resources. Very simply, GBA is a brainstorming tool for anyone wanting to reduce the environmental impacts of a particular building or renovation project.

• CD-ROM for Windows® or Macintosh™
• Includes more than 700 strategies, 22 detailed case studies, and over 280 reference listings, including many hotlinks to useful resources on the Internet.

"I've found the GBA to be the easiest to use, most graphic illustration of how a modification of the architectural process can alleviate the negative environmental impact of building."
