Software
Building Economic Analysis Software
The BEES (Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability) software brings to your fingertips a powerful technique for selecting cost-effective, environmentally-preferable building products.
BridgeLCC is user-friendly life-cycle costing software developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help bridge engineers assess the cost effectiveness of new, alternative construction materials.
The BLCC (Building Life-Cycle Cost) programs are developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to provide computational support for the economic analysis of capital investments in buildings.
The Cost-Effectiveness Tool for Capital Asset Protection is user-friendly, decision-support software to aid building owners and managers in the selection of cost-effective strategies that respond to natural and man-made hazards.
The Risk Mitigation Toolkit is a central source for identifying and retrieving risk assessment and risk management guidance documents, databases on the frequency and consequences of natural and man-made hazards, procedures for performing economic evaluations, and software tools needed to develop a cost-effective risk mitigation plan for constructed facilities.
The Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Tool for Chem/Bio Protection of Buildings was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Homeland Security Research Center. It helps users make consistent comparisons of Chem/Bio protection strategies based on established economic evaluation practices.

NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator and Smokeview - The NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator predicts smoke and/or air flow movement caused by fire, wind, ventilation systems etc. Smokeview visualizes the predictions generated by NIST FDS.
ToGS - Turnout Gear Selector (ToGS) helps the manufacturers, purchasers and users of fire turnout gear evaluate and select the turnout coat and pants ensemble that best meets their needs.
GetGo - GetGo transfers results (temperatures, deflections and strains) between a structural model that uses beams and shells, and a thermal model that uses solid (brick) elements. GetGo also detects insulation failure due to excessive strain according to user-defined criteria. Although this computer interface was implemented for one particular software package (Ansys), the methods developed are general and can be adapted to other, similar software.
