Explore how site-specific climate impacts with micro-climate analysis

Discover how Autodesk Forma helps you evaluate the micro-climate conditions of your site before you’ve drawn a single line. This video explores how terrain, nearby buildings, and site orientation affect wind, thermal comfort, and air flow. You’ll also learn how to interpret Forma’s thermal comfort maps and surface temperature insights to make more informed design decisions. 

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

• Explain what micro-climate means in the context of architectural site design and why it matters.
• Describe how Forma visualizes micro-climate conditions using the thermal comfort index (UTCI).
• Interpret Forma’s micro-climate analysis results to inform early-stage design strategies that enhance comfort and reduce environmental impact.
