Building Simulation 3D PLUS
•Hourly simulation of a building’s thermal behaviour and heating demand based on building characteristics, usage profiles and local climate conditions (using the VDI 6007 methodology).
•Integrated CAD package (see details below).
•Presentation of temperature curves (indoor air, outdoor air, perceived temperature, etc.)
•Identification of over- or under-heating hours
•Generation of detailed outputs, including graphical reports and CSV tables
•Effects of shading caused by neighbouring objects such as buildings, trees etc.
•Quickly assign rooms to pre-defined zones or add user-defined zones
•Checks compliance with summer overheating protection in accordance with the DIN 4108-2 standard for simulation
Integrated CAD package (HottCAD)
Fully-featured CAD tool for drawing and visualisation the building.
•Comprehensive drawing tools make it easy and quick to create 3D building models.
•Plans can be imported from DWG/DXF, PDF or image files.
•Roof-drawing tools makes it easy to draw complex roofs.
•Combined 2D/3D interface provides immediate visual confirmation of drawing progress.
•Materials and constructions catalogues link to integrated U-value calculator.
•Quick and easy method of assigning constructions to building elements.
•Performance and usage characteristics easily applied to rooms.
•Fully configurable room labels.
•Dimensioned floorplans and sections can be printed or exported as DWG/DXF.
Tabular input
•As an alternative to drawing the building in the HottCAD tool, the relevant building geometry information can be entered manually.
