Automation to Save Time and Money

Teams reduce analysis time by 66% per project by using automated performance modeling.  Designed for the least skilled user so you can find the answers for yourself. Do the math.  Billed at $150/hr (typical performance consultant), this equals up to $36,000 in savings per project! 

CASE STUDY

Simple, Powerful, Internationally Compatible

Energy

Whole Building EUI + Breakdown, Preloaded Energy Codes, Automated Engineering Inputs, Benchmarking, 2030 Target/DDX Reporting, and Cost vs. Energy Optimization.

Cost

Optimal Product Recommendations, Manufacturer-Provided Cost Database, Payback Period Calculator.

Carbon

Carbon Emissions and Embodied Carbon Calculations. Walk, Transit, and Bike Scores. 

Water

Indoor, Outdoor, Stormwater Management, and Cooling Tower Water Use Calculator.

Integration

AIA 2030, COTE Top 10, Energy Codes, LEED, Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, and Autocase.

Construction Cost & Carbon Emissions

Building energy codes are becoming stringent around the world. Cut construction cost by 2% to 3% while meeting these new codes. Use our machine-learning algorithms to look through thousands of alternatives. Pick the best one for your project and budget. 

Optimize Every Project in Minutes

Easy to use and learn, allowing every designer to model buildings for energy, daylight, glare, water, carbon and more. Tie in directly to AIA 2030 DDx and the CBECS database for benchmarking and reporting. 


Import model in:  15 minutes

Time to learn: 1 hour

AIA 2030: Get to 100% reporting

Automated Energy Codes

Utilizing the heat balance method (EnergyPlus also uses heat balance), we use automated baseline prescriptive inputs for ASHRAE 90.1, NECB, Title 24. With the ASHRAE 140 testing methodology, cove.tool is the selected software for rapid prototyping by leading engineering firms. 


Time to Model: 15 Minutes

Access to Inputs: 100% Transparent

Increase Profitibility by 20%

Product Alternatives that Work

Discover millions of dollars in profits by using our machine learning to pick the lowest cost and highest performance materials and components packages.

Cost-Optimized Performance Analysis

Invest with confidence while reducing construction cost to meet energy regulations and tenant needs. Track and validate your portfolio with key performance metrics, including energy, cost, carbon, daylight, glare and water. 


Use with Your Current Workflow

Our platform-agnostic workflow allows teams with a variety of processes to collaborate within a shared digital workspace. Keep everyone on the same page. Reduce costly rework. Validate assumptions with data.
