Environmental Design

In light of Autodesk recently adding Ecotect to their portfolio of products, do Bentley have anything planned, or what would be their advice be in relation to using their products, with regard to assisting me (or a team of designers) in assessing the environmental impact and/or performance of a building project (or proposal)?

- building up a dataset that includes various environmental performance indicators or criteria?

- exporting my 3D model to .......... to what?  would I have to keep re-exporting it? Is there some particular strategy or things I should do/don't do if I want to link my 3D model to some environmental analysis package/set up

- do they feel that a combination of the current main products (architecture, structural, M & E systems) is "delivered" (to the customers) in a manner that makes this reasonably approachable?
