The Sustainable BIM Intelligence program is designed for architects, BIM professionals, and design teams looking to integrate sustainability into the design process using Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Forma.

The training focuses on early-stage environmental analysis and performance-based decision making through practical workflows and real-world applications.

Participants will learn how to evaluate site conditions and climate impact, perform solar and shadow analysis, optimize building orientation, develop performance-driven conceptual models, prepare Revit models for energy analysis workflows, and improve design efficiency using environmental insights.

What You Will Learn?

Sustainable BIM Workflows

Understand how sustainability can be integrated into BIM-based design processes from conceptual stages onward.

Site & Environmental Analysis

Learn to conduct solar studies, shadow analysis, orientation studies, environmental evaluations, and daylight-focused planning using Forma’s site intelligence tools.

Conceptual Design Optimization

Create conceptual building forms in Revit that respond to environmental conditions and support efficient building performance.

Energy Modeling Preparation

Prepare analytical-ready Revit models using zoning, envelope setup, and performance-based planning workflows.

Day 1: Foundations of Façade Design + Revit Tools

Importance of façade design (aesthetic, environmental & structural factors)
Revit UI walkthrough – façade-focused tools
Levels, grids, and reference planes
Intro to basic modelling: walls, floors
Curtain Wall Basics: system types, grid setup
📂 Includes presentation slides and practice files

Day 2: Conceptual Massing & Façade Forms

In-place vs. conceptual massing
Creating and editing mass families
Surface division + placing pattern-based panels
Visualization: sun path, materials, shadows
Project Practice: Hungarian Autoklub HQ façade concept modelling

Day 3: Custom Curtain Walls – From Basic to Advanced

Advanced curtain wall grids, mullions & panels
Creating custom panels and mullion profiles
Nested families: operable panels, louvers, fins
Add smart parameters (height, width, material)
Apply it: Begin modelling custom façade for Hungarian Autoklub HQ

Day 4: Parametric Façade Design with Dynamo

Getting started with Dynamo
Creating parametric forms & dynamic panels
Extract geometry from Revit
Generate surface patterns like Voronoi, random grids 💡 Boost your computational design skills!
