| Summary | We tested Caala as part of our automated residential tests. Pretty impressive sustainability reports based on the most abstract building volume imported to the system. |
|---|---|
| Accessibility | Browser based plus additional CAD plugins. Very straightforward, considering the complex nature of the subject. |
| Limitations | The system only presents the solution defined by the user. No proposals for optimizing the design are being calculated. |
| Specifics | Code compliance not validated. Model import not specifically evaluated. |
| Q&A | Developer - Pretty comprehensive SaaS with the usual modes of contacting the sales and support team. |
| Manuals - extensive knowledge base (external link) | |
| Videos - plenty: (external link) | |
| Last evaluation | 29 April 2024 |
| Status | retesting on further projects highly recommended |
| Note … | the range of functions might have evolved since our review! |
