Krygiel E., Nies B. Green BIM. Successful, Sustainable Design with Building Information Modeling

Wiley Publishing, 2008. — 241 p.This book, like a building, wasn’t put together by a single individual. It was the work of many who came together to use their specialties to create what you have before you. We, the authoring team, get the opportunity to have our names on the cover, but this book would not have been made possible without the hard work of many others.ForwordIntroducing Green
