I blogged earlier about the series of articles by Terry Bennett that talks about sustainability from a civil engineering perspective and assesses the impact of building information modeling (BIM).
In the second part of his series of articles on Putting the Earth Back Into the Balance Sheet, Terry Bennett makes the point that advances in model-based technology, like BIM, using consistent, coordinated information have made sustainable design practices both practical and economically feasibl for civil engineers. As a result, public/private partnerships are being formed around the world to create a more sustainable infrastructure.
