It may not have the same cool factor but it is still very efficient and beneficial to the atmosphere. This is great that more and more people are starting to go green.

Technology like solar energy, wind power, fuel cells, zaps electric vehicles, EV hybrids, etc have come so far recently. Green energy even costs way less than oil and gas in many cases.</p> Green energy is definitely the best solution in most cases.

  • Energy modeling and analysis for facility operation and optimization; taking advantage of intelligent objects in 3D modeling

  • Visualization technology that allows more stakeholders to view, collaborate on, and optimize green technology use

  • Lifecycle assessment and PLM for ‘green – friendly’ product launches (associated with REACH and RoHS, for examples)

  • Sustainability technology platforms for assessing and reporting on compliance (government and NGO) on an enterprise level
