Overview

Since our first release in 2004, the CET ecosystem has grown significantly, and we have seen technological advancements, evolving design paradigms, and shifting user expectations transforming the way we work. However, our core mission remains - to be the world's most intelligent platform for designing sustainable, efficient, and beautiful spaces; and this mission drives every improvement we make. As part of our steadfast commitment to enhancing usability and efficiency, and delivering a standardized user experience across the platform, we launched a facelift initiative in 2024.

Primary Goals of the CET Facelift

• New Visual Design aims to modernize the CET experience you know and love, enhancing usability while paving the foundation for us to deliver exciting new features.
• UI Stability with backend improvements to improve user experience and general system performance.
• UX Design Guidelines introduced to development teams to improve quality, design cohesion, and user experience across the platform.
