ECAT 6.0
E4tech's Sustainable Buildings Group is based in Lausanne, Switzerland and has more than 25 years experience in developing building energy modelling software in line with a range of European and Swiss standards including EN 832, EN 13789, EN 13790 and EN 12831. SIA 380/1, Minergie® and Minergie® P.
E4tech's flagship software product, Lesosai, has now been developed to meet UK market requirements and named 'ECAT'.
- Easy to install and use - ECAT allows designers to check building energy performance compliance with UK Building Regulations Part L2 (non domestic) without previous energy modelling experience. It Incorporates SBEM, the DCLG approved National Calculation Tool.
- TLCA feature - ECAT can calculate a building's 'carbon footprint' taking into account lifetime CO2 emissions and energy associated with both the building materials and the building in use.
- ECAT includes additional functionality to assist users in optimising energy performance including calculation of thermal characteristics of building envelope elements. ECAT also has a CEN (EN13790) calculation mode.

Materialsdb.org
A TOOL FOR FACILITATING INFORMATION EXCHANGE BETWEEN BUILDING MATERIAL PROVIDERS AND BUILDING PHYSICS SOFTWARES
E4tech, together with the building material providers Flumroc, Isover, Morandi, Pavatex, Swisspor, Tuileries de Fribourg et Lausanne and with a contribution of the Fraunhofer Institute, developed a new open source format in XML (Extensible Markup Language).
The new tool allows providers to manage independently their own building material database and does not require a central database. The building physics softwares can access the various decentralised databases via a DLL (Dynamic Link Library).

Hoda 2.0
Software and database developed within the EU project Hope
The database is designed both to contain the data collected in a standard format, and to perform analysis of the data to a standard level, e.g. calculation of pre-defined parameters as Building Symptom Index.
HoDa contains the building information: a list of buildings, the checklist information and the questionnaire data. Checklist data is entered in five tabbed sections: description of the building, services, mechanical ventilation, use and energy, and information on individual apartments where appropriate. Questionnaire data were coded in advance and entered in standard format for offices and for homes.
