Discover how Forma Site Design 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 Site Design’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 Site Design visualizes micro-climate conditions using the thermal comfort index (UTCI).
- Interpret Forma Site Design’s micro-climate analysis results to inform early-stage design strategies that enhance comfort and reduce environmental impact.
