FenestraPro Envelope Analysis enables early-stage understanding of the impacts of the building envelope on the internal spaces of the building, and how they relate to energy performance and carbon impacts.

It gives Autodesk® Forma users unique insights into design decisions such as window-wall ratios, as well as envelope materials and components, such as roof, wall, and glazing specifications and how they comply with localized code requirements. 

Users have a unique understanding of the site and surrounding buildings in Forma, but by using FenestraPro Envelope Analysis they can also see real-time data on metrics that affect the internal spaces of their projects, such as thermal performance, internal heat gains, and daylighting.

Using FenestraPro Envelope Analysis will enable Users to:

• Automate envelope geometry design to make informed decisions and apply window-wall ratios and glazing configurations.
• Automate selection of façade materiality to specify envelope elements such as glazing and wall specifications.
• Check Code compliance, based on project location.
• Analysis of Façade performances – thermal performance, heat gains and cooling loads, daylighting and shading.
