Please see the products 1-3 in Class 4 for information on cost estimating software for remediation projects. Also see items 4, 9, 10, 12, and 13 in Class7 for information on products that have a cost estimation component, although primarily for Life Cycle Cost Analysis.
Item 5 in Class 5 is a cost tracking tool for remediation projects.
Items 8 and 18 in Class 1, and item 2 in Class 2, have risk analysis features or modules. Item 1 in Class 4 performs uncertainty analysis. Item 4in Class 4 includes a risk computational model. Some items in Class 5 (e.g., item 6) have modules for risk analysis.
Please see software systems in Class 1 for information on other cost estimating software systems.
Please see items 8-11 in Class 2 for information on cost control/analysis products.
Items 2-4, 8, 11, and 13 in Class 7 and items 4-6, 8, and 10 in Class 8have financial analysis components. However, financial analysis is not the primary feature of these products.
Items 11, 14, and 15 in Class 8 have an LCA/LCC component.
Many of the software systems covered in Class 5 have modules that address non-compliance related environmental issues. For more information, please review the summary tables in Chapter 3 and the product profiles. Items 9 and 11in Class 2 can be applied as waste reduction tools. Also, item 5 in Class 5 can be applied as a waste reduction tool.
For information on some products that apply Activity Based Costing techniques, see items 1 and 10 in Class 2.
For information on tools and software that employ Life Cycle Cost Analysis, see the items in Class 7.
