Simulate energy performance with Forma Carbon Insights and EnergyPlus

In this video, you'll take the Energy Analysis Model (EAM) you created in Revit and export it to Forma Carbon Insights for energy modeling. Powered by EnergyPlus, Insight enables dynamic simulations of whole-building energy use based on geometry, climate, envelope, and systems. You’ll learn how to assign an HVAC system, interpret simulation results, and evaluate energy performance metrics that influence operational carbon. This foundational workflow sets the stage for deeper performance analysis, including total carbon assessment in subsequent videos.

After completing this video, you’ll be able to:

• Export an EAM from Revit to Forma Carbon Insights for advanced energy simulation.
• Learn how Forma Carbon Insights supports exporting data to the AIA 2030 DDx
• Interpret key results from energy simulation outputs, including Energy Use Intensity (EUI), operational energy consumption, and performance drivers.
