The authors explained the concept with many examples,  including Autodesk's One Market Office and Customer Briefing Center. The authors  noted that for this project, DPR coordinated more than 15 different models into  one integrated BIM system using Navisworks and added that this project was one  of the first in the country of its type and size to use IPD. Jason Medal-Katz,  Senior Manager of Autodesk, said, &quot;BIM and IPD enabled the team to achieve a  LEED Platinum certification on the project and exceed owner quality expectations  based on a third-party inspection and evaluation.'<br/> <\/span><\/span> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.aecbytes.com/viewpoint/2009/issue_48.html\">&gt; Read More<\/a><\/p> <br class=\" cl_odd\"/> <p class=\" cl_even\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/09/23/building-information-modeling-gains-ground/\"><span name=\"news.Name\">Building Information Modeling Gains Ground<\/span><\/a><br/> <i><span name=\"news.source\">Environmental Leader<\/span><\/i><br/> <span name=\"news.date\">May 24, 2010<\/span><br/> <span name=\"news.Content\"><span>The article discussed about a report from McGraw-Hill  Construction, The Business Value of BIM: Getting Building Information Modeling  (BIM) to the Bottom Line, produced with Autodesk and 26 other industry  organizations, which profiles the adoption of BIM in North America.
