Overview

Cove.tool is a web-based platform aimed at architects, engineers, and contractors for optimizing building design for performance and cost. It uses machine learning to run thousands of simulations, analyzing factors like energy use, daylight, cost, and embodied carbon. It helps teams make data-driven decisions early in the design process to improve sustainability and reduce costs.

✨ Key Features

  • Embodied Carbon Analysis (integration with EC3)
  • Operational Carbon/Energy Analysis
  • Daylight and Glare Analysis
  • Cost Optimization
  • Climate and Site Analysis
  • LEED Credit Automation
  • Integrations with BIM and design software

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Focus on early-stage, rapid, and automated analysis
  • Integration of cost, energy, and carbon data in one platform
  • Machine learning-based optimization

Unique Value: Empowers design and construction teams to make smarter, data-driven decisions about cost and carbon performance from the very beginning of a project.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Early-stage design optimization for energy, carbon, and cost Comparing the performance of different design options rapidly Automating analysis for LEED and other green building certifications Value engineering with a focus on building performance

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Detailed post-construction operational monitoring
  • Contractors needing only a procurement tool for low-carbon materials

🏆 Alternatives

IESVE Sefaira (part of Trimble) Autodesk Insight One Click LCA

Offers a much faster and more intuitive workflow than traditional, complex energy modeling software, and provides a more holistic analysis (cost, energy, daylight, carbon) than single-purpose carbon calculators.
