While almost any design application can give you the ability to extractdata from lines and polygons, only advanced, industry-specific software toolsenable site design professionals to create, model, and present site developmentconcepts, and more importantly analyze, report, and select materials thatimplement those ideas appropriately. In this webinar with Eric Gilbey, PLA, ASLA, Prof. Member APLD, attendees will examine builtand theoretical projects to discover how to use these tools to not only achievetheir business goals, but also meet objectives from SITES and LEEDas proposed in SITES v2 Rating System for Sustainable Landscapes and LEED v4(BD+C) for New Construction & Major Renovations.
LEARNINGOBJECTIVES:
· Evaluatehow GIS (Geographic Information System) and other file integrations withindigital design workflows can assist in site selection.
· Recognizethe benefits of collaborating with an integrated design team during pre-designassessment and planning regarding file exchange expectations.
· Discoverhow site information modeling (SIM) features such as informative polygons; 3D digitalterrain models and hybrid plant data objects; plant databases, solar animations,and custom reports; and many others can be essential tools in meeting theobjectives of a sustainable site and documenting LEED and SITES credits.
· Examinehow to use plant objects’ data and custom reports to obtain information anddocument designs and baseline cases for LEED/SITES Water Efficiency credits.
