Use your current studio project to analyse for environmental sustainability. Should have been done in Exercise 1 and 2Create a 3D application, model of the selected building project, using any suitable application . Prepare the model at least to LOD 100. (if you have done in Forma, no need for this step)Gather relevant environmental data such as climate, site conditions, and energy sources for the project's location.Import the environmental data into the Forma.Utilize the application's built-in tools or plugins to perform at least two types (encouraged to do more) of space analysis, environmental analysis, such as energy analysis, daylight analysis, wind analysis, or thermal performance analysis.Interpret and analyze the results of the environmental analysis. Discuss how these results impact the sustainability and energy efficiency of the building and the site.
Based on the environmental analysis results, propose sustainable design recommendations and improvements for the selected building project. Explain how these recommendations align with green building principles.Create a visually appealing A1 presentation summarising your project, including the building model, environmental analysis results, and sustainable design recommendations. You may use diagrams and visualizations to enhance your presentation.Prepare 2-piece A1 Presentation boards showing the use of Forma and Revit Analysis in justfying your design.The boards must be part of your final presentation boards.Cite any external sources or references used in your project report.
Quality and accuracy of the model and environmental data integration.Thoroughness and clarity of the environmental analysis and interpretation.Appropriateness and feasibility of the sustainable design recommendations.Effectiveness of the presentation in conveying key project details.Creativity and critical thinking in proposing sustainable solutions.

Final Project
Project Title: Sustainable Design Site Analysis Using BIM
Objectives:
The objective of this project is to familiarise students with the application of BIM in conducting environmental analysis for sustainable site planning and design.
This project offers students hands-on experience in utilising BIM and the Environmental Analysis Application for environmental analysis and sustainable design.
It encourages them to apply their knowledge to a real or hypothetical building project and make informed recommendations for sustainability improvements.
Integration with Exercises:
Kindly note that the Final Project represents a consolidation of the BIM-based exercises completed throughout the course, encompassing both the design solutions proposed and the accompanying justifications
