I think currently there are some plug-ins with Revit that will track LEED points, but the coolest thing I saw was at the GreenBuild conference back in Nov. Autodesk is developing software that will suggest available LEED credits based on project location and other LEED certified projects in its vicinity, as well as seamlessly tracking how design adjustments will affect LEED certification in real-time. The goal of the software is to streamline the certification process and cut the costs of going green...

Go to Greenbuild365.org, click on Video Archive, then click on the Opening Plenary speech by Clinton. About a third of the way in is the Autodesk presentation - pretty cool stuff.
