BioScore Improvements: More Accurate Analysis and Detailed Results

The latest BioScore update includes improvements to Views analysis, floor-level results, and reliability.

The update adds support for Landmarks and Water surfaces in Views analysis, provides a more detailed breakdown of results by floor.

More Accurate Views Analysis

Assign Landmarks to Existing Buildings

BioScore can now recognize existing buildings as Landmarks.

Users can assign the Landmark classification to existing buildings in Forma, giving them greater control over the visual context used in the analysis.

This improves the accuracy of the Views analysis by allowing important existing buildings to be properly represented as landmarks within the site.

Assign Water Function to New Surfaces

Newly created surfaces in Forma Site Design can now be assigned the Water function.

BioScore can use this information when evaluating the surrounding visual context, improving the accuracy of the Views analysis.

This makes it easier to represent important site features such as lakes, ponds, and other water surfaces when evaluating views.

A More Detailed Floor Breakdown

Understanding the overall BioScore is important, but knowing how individual floors contribute to that result provides a much deeper insight into building performance.

The improved Floor Breakdown provides more detailed BioScore results at the individual floor level.

Users can now explore the results for each floor and better understand how performance varies throughout the building.

This makes it easier to identify differences between floors, investigate specific results, and understand what is contributing to the overall BioScore.

What's New

With this update, BioScore now provides:

Landmark classification for existing buildings — improving the accuracy of Views analysis.
Water function for newly created water surfaces — allowing water features to be considered in Views analysis.
Detailed Floor Breakdown — providing greater insight into individual floor performance.
