[Bldg-sim] Autodesk to Acquire Green Building Studio

[John F. Kennedy]

All,

After nearly 10 years of market changing innovation, Green Building
Studio is delighted to announce we have signed an agreement for
Autodesk, Inc. to acquire our assets. In other words, our Green Building
Studio (GBS) web service will soon join the Autodesk product family.
Please be assured that our talented team will continue selling,
training, and supporting architects as they use our web service to
design carbon neutral buildings today and in the future.  

"Autodesk is committed to providing technology that makes sustainable
design easier and more efficient," said Jay Bhatt, senior vice
president, Autodesk AEC Solutions.  "We look forward to adding the Green
Building Studio technologies to the Autodesk portfolio and helping our
customers more easily leverage the coordinated, reliable data created in
the Revit(r) platform for building information modeling (BIM) to help
predict performance and design buildings with reduced environmental
impact." 

After closing this deal, Autodesk also plans to continue support for the
Green Building Studio web service, carbon neutral building design
training, and to strengthen the web service's integration with its BIM
software. The gbXML schema will remain an open industry standard, and
the GBS web service will continue to be available to any other BIM
software.

We have partnered with Autodesk for many years, and commend their
ongoing support for sustainability.  We are eager to contribute our
industry expertise in green buildings to drive mainstream adoption of
sustainability and accelerate the AEC industry's transition to carbon
neutral buildings.

We expect to finalize the acquisition in the next few months. In the
meanwhile, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
