EpaCAD

EpaCAD is a software developed by ITA (Institute of Advanced Studies) designed to help engineers and architects in the design and analysis of building energy systems. The software provides users with a variety of tools to assess the thermal performance of buildings and analyze their energy consumption.

• Users can input information such as building orientation, construction materials, and HVAC systems to create a 3D model of the building and simulate its energy consumption under various weather conditions.
• EpaCAD also offers a database of climatic conditions for different regions, allowing users to select the most appropriate one for their project.
• The software helps identify potential areas of energy waste and provides recommendations for optimization, such as improving insulation or HVAC efficiency.
• Ultimately, EpaCAD lets designers make informed decisions about building components and systems based on their impact on energy performance, helping to minimize environmental impact while improving occupant comfort and reducing energy costs.

EpaCAD is a powerful yet user-friendly tool that can help any architect or engineer create more sustainable and efficient buildings.
