The building industry is the largest consumer of natural resources--far more than cars or anything else. With the global warming challenges the world faces today reaching a crisis level, it is not only an
opportunity for us to address this problem, it is our obligation. The
only way to even start talking about sustainability and LEEDS in any
meaningful way is to measure how our built environment impacts our
globe. The way to do this is to link "BIM to GIS". BIMStorm Vancouver demonstrated this.
