Simulations

We don’t just simulate – we are serious about it!

Complex buildings, highly efficient plant engineering and modern engineering control systems are often no longer realistically representable with conventional static calculation algorithms. In order to represent rooms or even entire buildings with high demands on efficiency and comfort due to their thermal behaviour, modern simulation programs are the method of choice.

We simulate for you in the field of thermal building physics:

  • Multiple range energy demand-, energy cost- and carbon dioxide emission-analysis of entire buildings
  • Dynamic cooling load calculations according to VDI 2078 / 6007
  • Dynamic heating load calculations
  • Thermal comfort analysis
  • Solar radiation calculation and shading animations
  • Natural and hybrid ventilation (air-mass exchange models)
  • Water-bearing radiators, chilled beams and cooling panels
  • Combined building, plant and control modelling
  • Ice rinks and swimming pools
  • Geothermal probe fields
  • Summer overheating and nocturnal cooling
  • Annual energy requirement according to VDI 2076-10
  • Daylight calculations
  • Double-glazed facade and windows

We simulate for you in the section of moisture protection:

  • Linked heat and moisture transport within multi-layer components
  • Accumulation/storage of moisture in and on building components
  • Water absorption of components by driving rain
  • Drying performance of components (e.g. building moisture)
  • Influence of moisture content on thermal characteristics and energy
    requirements
  • Mould growth and prevention
  • Ice formation, wood rot and corrosion
