Tools (a.k.a. the Monkeys)

Proper calculation tools, built by assessors who got fed up with the clunky alternatives and use these every day. Free to use in your browser — you only pay when you need the answer written up as a Building Control submission PDF, and never to get the answer itself.

More Monkeys on the way

The Collection is growing — we're building more calculators for assessors and designers. Got one that would save you a headache? Tell us.

Some of it there is no calculator for

A Monkey will run any calculation with a published method and a deterministic answer. The work that needs an accredited assessor is a different matter — a new dwelling's SAP calculations and EPC, an SBEM model for a commercial building, air tightness or sound testing on site, or a planning energy statement. We do those too, as a consultancy, and have since long before the calculators existed.

See what we do →

Every calculator is free. The subscription is about the paperwork.

You never pay to get an answer out of a Monkey. You pay only when you need that answer written up as a Building Control submission PDF — and a subscription is optional. Here is exactly what one changes.

Free

£0

  • Every tool, in full. No account, no limits, no trial that runs out.
  • Reports carry the Energycount logo.
  • Buy any report one-off when you need one.

Monkey Pro

£10/month +VAT

or £100/year +VAT

  • Your practice on every report instead of ours — your logo, practice name, address and contact on the header, and your project, client and revision references on the page.
  • From every tool, on one plan.
  • Report prices unchanged — Pro is the branding, not a discount.

Monkey Pro Unlimited

£49/month +VAT

or £490/year +VAT

  • Everything in Pro.
  • Thermal bridge and condensation reports included outright — export as many as your projects need, no per-report charge — plus the multi-junction schedule.
  • Worth it from two thermal bridge or condensation reports a month.

Not included in either plan: soakaway (£25 +VAT), nutrient neutrality (£79 +VAT), Part G water (£25 +VAT, plus £15 per extra dwelling type) and the Part L extension and renovation reports (£35 +VAT) are one-off purchases on every plan. Your branding still applies to them. No subscription changes a calculation, and report IDs verify the same either way.

Full pricing and FAQs

After the number rather than the calculation? The building regulations reference has the Part L, Part O, Part G, Part E and SAP figures these tools work to, on one dated page.

Need the whole job done rather than the calculation?

The Monkeys cover a calculation each. When a project needs SAP, SBEM, an energy statement or testing pulling together, send us the drawings and we'll come back with one price for the lot.
