Welcome to Returning to the Workplace--

00:03

Visualizing Building Performance Data with Forge.

00:06

I'm Michael Kilkelly.

00:07

And this course is part of the space planning for new health

00:11

guidelines learning path.

00:12

In this course, you're going to learn

00:14

how to use Forge, Auto-desk's online development platform.

00:18

And you're going to create an app on Forge

00:20

and use it to extract model information.

00:22

Then you're going to use this information

00:24

to create a dynamic data visualization.

00:27

We're going to start by taking a close look at the Forge

00:30

platform, and you'll learn how to create your own trial Forge

00:34

account.

00:35

Next, you learn how to use Postman,

00:37

a stand-alone application, to connect to the Forge platform.

00:41

You're going to configure a Revit add-in on the platform,

00:45

that they add-in is going to read a Revit model, which

00:47

you'll also upload to Forge.

00:49

And it will then export a spreadsheet

00:51

with the model data.

00:53

Lastly, you'll take the spreadsheet

00:55

you generated with Forge and use it

00:57

in Power BI, which is Microsoft's data visualization

00:60

tool.

01:01

You'll create a dynamic report in Power BI

01:04

that you can use to better understand the exterior

01:06

enclosure of your model.

01:07

Sound good?

01:08

All right, let's get started.
