Green
Building Advisor: Defining The Future of Environmentally
Responsible Design
This is what Amory B. Lovins, Co-Founder and Director of Research, Rock
Mountain Institute, had to say about the Green Building Advisor: "Essential.
A rich source of prioritized green building options -- made complete with
case studies and a reference library."
Green Building Advisor is
a software program that helps you identify actions to
reduce the environmental impacts of a building project,
while ensuring healthy and productive indoor spaces. It's
a revolutionary way of learning about green design and
the cutting edge techniques and technologies to accomplish
it.
GBA will show you specific design strategies that can improve the environmental
performance, cost-effectiveness, and healthiness of all phases of a building
and its site, from pre-design through occupancy. The strategies are prioritized
by the program based on information you give it about your project, such as
the location, type and size of the building, and characteristics of the site.
Description:
The program is designed for architects, designers, builders, planners,
students, and educator who want to examine environmental opportunities of
specfic projects or to learn about the many elements of green building design.
It will also provie to be an invaluable tool for those hiring design services
-- private companies, government agencies, or homeowners -- anyone planning
to build or renovate who want to make suire their designers are aware of
green building opportunities.

This unique software was developed by a diverse team of green building professionals with experience in all aspects of environmental design. The program is a truly innovative approach to green building design, approximating the knowledge of a team of veteran green building professionals in a user-friendly software application, and enhancing that knowledge with case studies and links to a wide range of technical information sources.
Green building design is a complicated process involving the integration of broad principles and minute details, and GBA helps make sense of it all. GBA was originally released as version 1.0 in December, 1998. A revised and updated version, 1.1, was released in May 2001.
