 |**[[Thermal bridges|Thermal bridges]]**|**[[Calculation of heat losses of drain pipes]]**|This tool enables a more accurate calculation of heat losses from internal drain pipes for wastewater and stormwater.|EN, DE|
-|:::|**[[Thermal bridge tool]]**|The tool is performance-oriented, focuses on highly energy-efficient details and building, much more flexible than a thermal bridge catalogue, and much faster than a thermal bridge software.|EN|
+|:::|**[[Thermal bridge tool]]**|The user can play with different inputs for standard generic component connections, receiving straightforward feedback, which allows fast optimisation.|EN|
 |**[[Windows|Windows]]**|**[[Window tool]]**|The Window tool provides an overview regarding life-cycle costs, hygiene, and comfort for comparison of different windows.|EN|
-|:::|**[[Hygiene tool]]**|Hygiene tool provides a quick and easy prediction of the expected hygral quality based on the relative humidity and the suitability of a component with regard to its temperature factor for the simulated situation, even without a deep knowledge of physical processes.|EN|
+|:::|**[[Hygiene tool]]**|Provides a assessment of the minimum thermal quality of building components with regard to its temperature factor, depending on the relative humidity.|EN|
 |**[[Ventilation|Ventilation]]**|**[[Commissioning tool - ventilation checklist]]**|The Commissioning tool serves planners and ventilation system installers in how to communicate the correct operational data and how to adequately adjust a ventilation system.|Currently being revised.|
-|:::|**[[Ventilation tool]]**|The tool offers collected information regarding controlled ventilation for customers such as building or flat owners.|EN|
+|:::|**[[Ventilation tool]]**|The tool offers all sorts of information about ventilation units, like performance, dimensions, installation options, to facilitate finding a suitable device for the specific  requirements of the customers specific situation.|EN|
 |:::|**[[PHLuft]]**|The PHLuft software consists of the three parts: Heat output, Ground heat exchanger, Heat exchanger. The software is intended to aid designers of Passive House ventilation systems.|DE|
 |:::|**[[Pressure loss calculation tool]]**|Calculation of pressure losses in ventilation ducts (circular and rectangular).|DE|
 |:::|**[[PHErde]]**|The tool is intended to serve Passive House designers as an aid for the design and calculation of brine-to-earth heat exchangers.|DE|
 |**[[Cooling|Cooling]]**|**[[Cooling systems tool]]**|Different cooling configurations can quickly be entered and compared, so that an informed choice of the appropriate system combination is possible.|EN|
