Autodesk Forma - Temperature Study

The Microclimate tool shows a image with gradation of temperature around the proposed building.


On the right side, you get options to choose a different time and month. This feature does not seem to be of much use. The microclimate gets affected by lawn, waterbodies, sizes of trees, foliage, etc. The Forma model cannot model these things now. 
It will be better to import a Revit or an IFC model with these features into Forma and then do a study like this will help the architect to locate/size/include these kinds of landscape features to modulate the microclimate.
