Automated pricing and/or "Green" indicating method and system

Methods and systems for a rapid and automated creation of a price schedule and a "green" schedule comprising steps and an implementation for providing a set of construction plans created with an architectural software design tool, and a palette of architectural parametric symbols corresponding to respective construction plan elements, such as windows. At least one parametric symbol corresponding to a construction plan element is inserted into the construction plans. A cost value and a statement indicating whether or not a parametric symbol is "green" for each of the inserted parametric symbols is determined corresponding to respective plan elements. A price schedule, a "green" schedule or both are then created, which can include the total cost for all of the inserted parametric symbols, and a statement for each of the inserted symbols indicating whether or not they are certified as being energy efficient or rated "green."
