Architects, owners and building design teams now have a new web service from Green Building Studio, a sustainability analysis software and services company, that assesses carbon neutrality potential.

The beta release of the program, Green Building Studio v3.0, includes features that compute each building's U.S. EPA Energy Star score, analyze the photovoltaic and wind energy potential, estimate the building's water needs, and determines (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) LEED Glaze factor for each room with lighting control energy savings, as well as determining the natural ventilation potential. Plus it estimates the costs of all changes.
