The table shows three columns. The left column is labeled “Software, Plugins, Libraries and Tools”. To the right of this label, the next column contains category labels arranged from top to bottom as follows: “3 D Modeling”, “Energy Simulation”, “Life Cycle Assessment”, “Automation and Optimization”, “Machine learning”, “Energy Rating”, “Programming”, and “Parametric tool”. To the right of the category labels, the next column lists software names corresponding to each category. Under “3D Modeling”, the software listed from top to bottom are: “SketchUp”, “Grasshopper”, and “Revit”. Under “Energy Simulation”, the software listed from top to bottom are: “EnergyPlus”, “DesignBuilder”, “I D A I C E”, “Ecotect”, “Equest”, “Green Building Studio”, and “HoneyBee”. Under “Life Cycle Assessment”, the software listed from top to bottom are: “Athena” and “SimaPro”. Under “Automation and Optimization”, the software listed from top to bottom are: “Dynamo”, “M O B O”, “Gen Opt”, “j E Plus plus E A”, “Pymoo”, and “Matlab-Tomlab”. Under “Machine learning”, the listed software is “Neural Designer”. Under “Energy Rating”, the listed software is “Accurate”. Under “Programming”, the software listed from top to bottom are: “MatLab”, “E P P Y”, “Python 3 programming language”, and “Microsoft Excel”. Under “Parametric tool”, the software listed from top to bottom are: “Dynamo” and “j E Plus”. To the right of the software names, icons corresponding to each software entry appear, arranged in the same order as the software list.Software, plugins, libraries, and tools categorization based on their application.
