EVATool is a Web 2.0 based Environmental and Sustainable Design Knowledge Management System specifically designed for architects and the building design process.
Currently there is an enormous amount of content available to architects attempting to produce buildings that conform to Sustainable Development goals.
The nature of the design process and the commercial pressures placed upon architectural practices make it increasingly difficult to wade through this content in order to gain access to appropriate guide-lines, tools and information. If the analogy of the library holds true this situation would look like a vast room piled to the ceiling with content – information, tools, guidance and product related advice.
Such a daunting site is not conducive to achieving real and demonstrable beneficial change to building performance. EVATool is analogous to a library, where visitors are quickly able to access a wide range of books on any subject via the library’s systems and librarian support. EVATool is the ‘library’ that contains information on matters and information related to environmental build and design issues.
EVATool’s dashboard makes it very easy for a user to apply specific information, data or research to a specific project.
Value your KnowledgeYou can keep your content dynamically evolving from project to project ensuring that your architects are provided with the best, most recent relevant information from which to make informed decisions. Over time you will build up a powerful resource that will allow your teams to retain and disseminate valuable knowledge assets that normally get lost to inefficient practices and high rates of staff churn. |

Green WorkflowA useful Environmental Management System (EMS) allows an organisation to manage its internal environmental programs in a comprehensive, systematic, planned and documented manner. An EMS follows a Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle, establishing a management framework by which an organization’s impacts on the environment can be systematically identified and reduced. EVAtool is a ready made EMS that can be easily customised to fit the way your organisation works. |
Key Functionality
Precedent shows that building and maintaining a bespoke Environmental Management System (EMS) for your organisation can require substantial resources of time and money. In these difficult times the profession is struggling to balance reduced fee earnings with greater pressure to deliver better performing green buildings. Allow us to make EVAtool work for you to protect your core asset – your architects knowledge and experience, increasing their efficiency and empowering them to make the right decisions.
