Run a microclimate simulation

Microclimate data in Forma presents data on a personal level, specifically, how sun wind and daylight contribute to our perceived temperature in locations on our site. As architecture responds to the human condition, this simulation is incredibly valuable to connect site layout design decisions directly to human comfort.

After this video you will be able to:

• Run a microclimate simulation.
• Label the measurable results.
• Explain how Microclimate combines sun, daylight, wind, and local weather data to estimate thermal comfort
• Apply the baseline data from the microclimate simulation to generate design ideas centered around human comfort and experience
