EKOTROPE Approved as the Only Software for Florida’s 2026 Energy Code Compliance

EKOTROPE APPROVED AS THE ONLY SOFTWARE FOR FLORIDA'S 2026 ENERGY CODE COMPLIANCE; INTRODUCTION FOR BUILDERS, RATERS, AND HVAC CONTRACTORS

Fastest Path to Code Approval for Your Projects; and The Only Path for Approval for 2026 Code. 

Ekotrope was approved today as the only software available for Florida's 2026 energy code compliance. The 2026 code becomes mandatory on December 31st, 2026. For HVAC contractors, builders, engineers, and raters already managing projects in Wrightsoft and Elite RHVAC, Ekotrope provides the fastest path to code approval without rework.

The Florida Building Commission approved Ekotrope RATER for the R405 Performance Path, R402 Total UA, and R406 ERI compliance pathways. The software is now ready for immediate use.

"The Florida market is very competitive. Our clients are looking for an edge, with early access to the 2026 code, and to produce reports quickly” said Ziv Rozenblum, CEO of Ekotrope. "To support these requests, our product integrates seamlessly with  Wrightsoft, Elite, and Energy Gauge projects to produce the desired energy reports 80% faster than any other product” he added. 

Why Ekotrope Stands Out

Ekotrope is the most popular energy rating and code certification softwarein the US, servicing over 400,000 homes a year and 7,000+ builders. 

Ekotrope delivers results fast; permit reports are generated in ~1 second vs. other tools that take 60+ seconds and frequently crash mid-calculation. With 99.9% uptime and speedy calculations, Ekotrope users don't lose time to a stalled tool and complete their work fast. 

Ekotrope makes collaboration easy. Ekotrope is a web-based tool, so all of your projects are at your team's fingertips all the time. No need to share files back and forth; Ekotrope manages projects and version control automatically, saving your team time and headaches.

Direct imports from Wrightsoft and Elite RHVAC carry data already input straight into Ekotrope, so contractors skip data reentry. Ekotrope is more streamlined: new team members get productive faster, and batch reporting lets users process hundreds of projects in a few clicks instead of running each one by hand.

"Once we got over the initial learning curve moving over to Ekotrope for ratings, we quickly came up to speed, and saw how the platform unlocked a lot of efficiency"

Pricing is $349 per user per year. Current EnergyGauge users can use Ekotrope free until their existing subscription expires.
