Green Design in Google SketchUp Highlighted (Energy Priorities)

A couple of weeks ago, the authors of the Sketchup Blog decided to run a friendly competition. They asked readers to submit examples of sustainable work they've done in SketchUp. Six projects were selected -- "They were the most compelling, and most complete, that we received," writes blog author Aidan Chopra.

Three academic buildings, one in Nepal
A museum in Colorado
A multi-purpose training and meeting facility in South Africa
One residence in California

To read about the entries and see multiple images per project, read: "Green design in SketchUp for Blog Action Day."

Developed for the conceptual stages of design, Google SketchUp is a 3D software drawing system. SketchUp enables users to build and modify 3D models quickly and easily. If used in conjunction with Google Earth, SketchUp allows users to place their models using real-world coordinates and then share them with others using the Google 3D Warehouse.
