Software developed at the Chair of Physics of Buildings:
|
|
Energy Design Guide I is a tool for the optimization of the building envelope: thermal conduction, window size and quality for low thermal energy need in the early phases of planning.

|
Energy Design Guide II is a tool for the quantitative judgement of energy and power needs of buildings due to a local climate. (Available from October 2007)

Other Software in use at our Chair:
|
|
A tool for integrated lighting design for indoor daylighting and artificial lighting performance.
|
|
A tool for hygro-thermal analysis of building components which gives information about the heat flux in any section.
|
|
Heat transfer simulations in building components, 3D & 2D:
HEAT2 - 2-dimensional heat transfer
HEAT3 - 3-dimensional heat transfer
|
|
|
Calculates the thermal balance of buildings, heating energy need, comprises forms for SIA 380/1 and Minergie. (BEW-accredited)
|
|
Global meteorological database for solar energy and applied climatology. Used mainly for producing input weather data for use in other programs.
|
|
|
Room acoustics simualtion, auralisation.
|
|
|
Heat transfer simulations in building components, 3D & 2D:
TRISCO - steady state heat transfer
VOLTRA - transient heat transfer
RADCON - radiative and convective heat transfer.
|
|
Ray tracing software for indoor daylighting simulation.
|
|
|
Calculations with this program provide energy certificates, physical values of building parts related to condensation, temperature flow, and instationary heat flux - all coherent with swiss SIA standards.
