Autodesk, makers of AutoCAD, and now owners of Alias (who make Maya), launched a Sustainable Design Center page some time ago. Okay, the previous sentence was indeed kind of ridiculous. Those are all rendering/computer aided design programs often used by architects and filmmakers. In any case, I’m interested to see what Autodesk, which since it’s acquisition of Alias, has become “the largest provider of design software” in the world, has planned in the area of green design. Certainly the website, featuring the above photo, does not hint at any specifics.

A toolbox for green design technologies in AutoCAD, or even a standalone green design program to facilitate the use of sustainable materials and/or energy efficient architecture? The site launches in full on May 5.
