The application was developed by the University of Toronto Institute for Multidisciplinary Design & Innovation (UT-IMDI) for SEEDA.
Overview
- Automatically get site parameters from an address
- Efficiently input building parameters
- Calculate environmental loads
- Calculate load combinations
- 3D visualizations of the building, loads, and load combinations
- Export all data to an Excel file
- User accounts to save and load projects and access them from any device anywhere with an internet connection

Hosting the Backend
