I want to show off something that we have been working on that I'm really excited about. Working with the Department of Energy and Google, we created a High Performance Buildings layer in Google Earth. The layer gives you an interactive map with markers for the buildings in DOE's High Performance Buildings Database, with links to full case studies. Even cooler, you can download and view 3D models of the buildings (that were created in SketchUp).
If you have Google Earth, you can download the layer here:
Great Green Buildings Google Earth Layer
If you don't have Google Earth, you can download it here.
You can find the 3D models in the Department of Energy collection of Google's 3D Warehouse.
This layer is only the first step of our Google Earth/ SketchUp project. There will be more coming, so let us know if you have any suggestions.

I suspect that a lot of folks involved with buildings in the HPB database have some kind of sketch Up models either existing or easily created. It would great to get models for all of the buildings in the BuildingGreen version of the HPB database.
