# Credits

Credits help you run more advanced simulations, faster. While simple models run for free in your browser, larger or more detailed projects need extra computing power. That’s where credits come in. They let you tap into our high-performance servers, generate in-depth simulation reports (with the Lite Plan), and process complex models faster and more efficiently. 

## Detailed Reports

On the Lite Plan, detailed reports are available on-demand as a low-cost solution for building code compliance. These reports are included at no extra cost in Classic, Plus and Premium Plans.

To generate a detailed report on the Lite Plan, Credits must be pre-purchased. Credit bundles are available in 50, 250 (20% discount), 500 (30% discount) and 1000 (40% discount) quantities, offering greater value with higher volumes.

## Processing Large or Complex Models

Credits are a game-changer for processing large models on our secure server, delivering speeds up to 10 x faster than local desktop simulations. A 60-minute energy simulation can now finish in just 6 minutes!

To leverage enhanced performance, Credits are required for large models (>10,000 m² or 100+ thermal zones) or complex simulations. They’re optional for small to medium models.

Credit use per simulation is based on project size:

* Small (0 – 4999 m²): 1 Credit
* Medium (5000 – 9999 m²): 2 Credits
* Large (10,000 m²+): 5 Credits
* Moisture simulations: 1 Credit

| Model Size              | Energy + Daylight | Moisture |
| ----------------------- | :---------------: | :------: |
| Small (0 - 4999 m²)     |         1         |     1    |
| Medium (5000 - 9999 m²) |         2         |     -    |
| Large (10,000 m² +)     |         5         |     -    |

## Buy Credits

Credits can be purchased directly on the platform in your Team settings. They’re also included in all annual subscription packages for added value and flexibility.
