Design for performance and sustainability with Revit and Forma Carbon Insights

Module overview

Discover integrated performance analysis workflows using Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Forma Carbon Insights. Beginning with the creation of an Energy Analysis Model (EAM) in Revit, you will export a model to Forma Carbon Insights to run EnergyPlus-based simulations, and interpret energy results. You’ll learn about embodied carbon analysis and how to map material definitions and quantify lifecycle impacts using cloud-based tools. Finally, you’ll learn to create custom dashboards to compare scenarios and explore the effects of different design factors—equipping you with practical skills for advancing sustainability through data-driven BIM workflows.
