Software for Energy Consultants – Building Simulation & Verification
Dynamic building simulation for energy consulting
Energy consultants assess buildings energetically – from the new-build design to the renovation roadmap for existing stock. Where the monthly balance reaches its limits, dynamic building simulation delivers reliable statements on energy demand, room temperatures and summer comfort. VICUS BUILDINGS brings this simulation into everyday consulting – with direct geometry import and a 3D workflow that follows familiar CAD tools.
From model to robust assessment
Capture the existing building or design
Read geometry from IFC, DXF or PDF, or build it directly in the 3D environment. Components and usage profiles come from bundled databases – no duplicate entry.
Dynamic instead of monthly balance
Simulate heating and cooling demand, room temperatures and solar gains hour by hour across a full year – instead of relying on lump-sum monthly values.
Compare variants
Contrast insulation standard, glazing, shading and ventilation as variants and quantify the energy effect of each measure reliably.
Verification & reports
Export results on energy demand and summer thermal protection as traceable, customizable reports for clients and approval.
What VICUS BUILDINGS does for energy consultants
- Dynamic energy demand: determine heating and cooling demand hour by hour across a full year – instead of lump-sum monthly balances.
- Summer thermal protection: verification per DIN 4108-2 via overheating degree hours, with a physically correct representation of thermal mass and night ventilation.
- Variant comparison: contrast insulation, glazing, shading and ventilation and quantify the effect of each measure – ideal for retrofit decisions.
- Geometry import: IFC, DXF and PDF import instead of double modeling – existing plans become the basis of the thermal model.
- Traceable reports: export results as customizable reports for clients, funding applications and approval.
