No specific skills required, designed for architects and engineers.
EnerCAD is useful for teaching and should be used in the predesign stage and optimization of of building projects. The software is designed for large-scale dissemination in technical schools and universities, and among architects and building physics consultants.
EnerCAD offers default values for all input and extensive building material, wall, and window libraries. The graphical user interface is designed as to meet the specific requirements of architects and structured in a way to facilitate input and avoid errors.
* Immediate feedback on the effect of any parameter describing the physical properties of the building envelope
* Access to several presentations of output (annual and monthly heat balance, both graphical and numerical, sankey diagram, tables)
* Global building analysis in real time
* User friendly
* Little time required for data input
* Toolbox.
