cove.tool is the most accessible building performance analysis platform for architectural practices that don't have in-house sustainability engineers. Its integration with Revit and SketchUp means energy and carbon analysis runs directly from your design model without data re-entry. The AI optimizer is the most powerful feature: specify target EUI (Energy Use Intensity) or carbon targets and cove.tool suggests the specific design modifications — insulation values, glazing ratio, WWR, shading devices — that achieve them most efficiently. For LEED, BREEAM, or WELL certification projects, cove.tool generates the documentation and analysis reports required for submission. The carbon module tracks embodied carbon in real time alongside operational energy.
Real-time energy and daylighting analysis for SketchUp and Revit
Analyzes energy use, daylighting, and thermal comfort as you design. AI highlights the highest-impact changes for energy performance. Widely used for LEED and BREEAM submissions.
AI-assisted whole-building energy simulation for complex projects
Comprehensive building performance simulation. AI features include automated model creation from IFC/Revit files and parametric optimization for the best-performing design variants within constraints.
AI site analysis for sunlight, wind, and noise in early design
Formerly Spacemaker. Analyzes any site for solar access, wind, daylight, and noise using AI. Make data-driven massing decisions before committing to detailed BIM.
