D.E.B.Cal (the Designing Efficient Buildings Calculator) was conceived in response to the introduction of SANS 10400 Part XA in 2011.

Design professionals struggling to cope with the copious amount of new information and additional workload required, were looking for answers. Dino Vieira was one such professional, and in an effort to streamline the processes set out in the National Building Regulations (NBR), he created a personal calculator that produced astonishing results :
