RETScreen Reviews & Product Details

The Virtual Energy Analyzer and the benchmarking features really stand out. They make it possible to quickly establish energy performance baselines across a range of archetypes, from industrial facilities to residential buildings. Having the ability to compare a “Base Case” and a “Proposed Case” within one unified platform also makes it much easier to justify energy-efficiency measures to stakeholders, using verified data as support.

The user interface uses some modernization. Despite feeling a bit overwhelmed by the abundance of information I didnt encounter any issues while using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Falls short when it comes to advanced calculations and personalized project planning. This limits its usefulness, for energy management projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very detailed information about the specified plan, such as PV systems. It came in handy when I had to look for information about Location, Energy Usage, Emission, Cost, and Risks of the PV system I had proposed. Although it would be nice if there were a simplified version or tab that would be helpful for learning students to focus on and see the simpler side of things. I also really liked the detailed final report it came in where it summarized all the things that has been done in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were a bit too many tabs of information that were little complicated at first but got easier with continual use. There isn't really much to dislike but maybe I could suggest to change the look of the user interface as it looked a tiny bit dated but not at all terrible. Just a personal suggestion. It would also be nice if there were a simplified version or tab that would be helpful for learning students to focus on and see the simpler side of things. Because in my time using it, I was overwhelmed with the amount of information I saw that I got confused with and really didn't use much of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
