Understand how much daylight reaches building façades from the sky to guide design decisions and check compliance with local guidelines.
As a Forma connected client, Revit supports daylight potential analysis to evaluate how much light reaches building façades from the sky, expressed as a Vertical Sky Component (VSC) percentage score, considering shading from buildings and terrain in the model.
For a model that is set up for use with
Forma tools, open a view that contains terrain and contextual data, such as building models, surrounding buildings, and other context. Then click Analyze tab > Forma Analyses panel >
(Daylight Potential) to run the analysis. Results display as a color-coded map on building façades, using threshold values to predict daylight performance. Make changes to the building model to see how the changes affect analysis results.
