## EnTool:CoSim – Using Simulation Tools Together

As a research partner, EA Systems works with TU Dresden and other partners to harmonize tools and programs for designing and assessing complex building energy supply systems. Prototype coupling options based on the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard support communication between specialist planners, architects, clients, and engineers. The strengths of different tools are brought together in a uniform, standardizable framework for the design and planning process.
