Retscreen Software

Our platform enables low-carbon planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting. RETScreen Expert helps you make sound decisions on clean energy. Developed by the Government of Canada, our software is used by more than energy professionals and decision-makers globally, including energy engineers, facility managers, researchers, instructors, architects, financial planners and policy analysts. RETScreen is also used for teaching and research in over 1,500 universities and colleges around the world. RETScreen intelligently enables you to quickly identify and assess whether or not proposed clean energy projects (renewable energy, energy efficiency and cogeneration) make engineering and financial sense. We also make it easy to measure and verify the actual and ongoing energy performance of a wide range of buildings, factories and power generation facilities. And you can aggregate all of your facilities to get a bird’s eye view of energy consumption/production, costs and greenhouse gas emissions across an entire portfolio. All of this can be done for locations worldwide and in 38 of the world’s most common languages. The RETScreen eLearning YouTube channel provides free video training to help you get the most out of the RETScreen Expert software. Visit and subscribe at You can also follow us in French here:
