This AI application bridges Autodesk Forma® and Autodesk® Revit® with our full building LCA platform, helping teams reduce the environmental impact of building projects. Material information flows directly from the design model or supporting documents into RTLCA as the baseline for all calculations, and analyses run automatically against that data.

With this connection, designers can identify sustainable alternatives and optimize their projects against LCA criteria from the earliest stages. RTLCA quantifies the impact of different design options and proactively guides architects toward more sustainable decisions.

Owners or contractors can utilize RTLCA for documenting emissions during the various life cycle stages. This MCP solution reads your Forma files and adds relevant information to RTLCA so that jurisdiction-aligned reporting is seamless.

The platform supports both high-level decisions and accurate low-level analysis. Material choices are evaluated together with transport, logistics, and waste streams, so the result reflects real-world conditions rather than nominal product data alone.

In practice, this means Forma and Revit users receive more than qualitative guidance such as "use less concrete." They get quantitative support for each decision, for example: "reducing the window-to-wall ratio in the facade by 1.5% lowers impacts by 3.8%." This removes friction from the design process and enables direct, evidence-based optimization, from product selection to geometry changes.

Setup for Forma: To enable the integration on a Forma Hub, add the RTLCA integration to the Hub from the Autodesk integrations panel.
