Energy Certificate calculation tools, thermal transmittance complementary to the Energy Certificate.
This post is a compilation of Spreadsheets regarding Thermal Transmittance. The programs designated for energy certification have a series of predesigned and common examples with the calculations already carried out, but in the event that we find singular elements we will have to carry out the calculations "by hand". These tools will facilitate the task.
- Spreadsheet (Via Ursa)
- Spreadsheet (You must enter the web to download it)
- Hello calculation (The Thermal Transmittance Calculator - Weber)
- IT NO LONGER WORKS: Anteol Tool HERE the information and the program HERE by clicking on Anteol_6 (Development Software that allows the thermal analysis of sunny enclosures, considering real environments and constructive solutions)
- Catalog of constructive elements of the CTE. The Catalog is a database in progress and its content is updated as new data becomes available. The Catalog contains information on the material characteristics, of the hygrothermal and acoustic performance of generic construction elements and of constructive specificities, relative to the basic requirements of the CTE… From HERE.
- IVE has the OSE. Free through Web download, it provides the designer with the necessary documentation in the use of the simplified options in the matter of energy (justification sheets of the DB HE1, energy efficiency rating in homes and the energy efficiency label) as well as a Catalog of construction elements , which allows modeling solutions indicating even the Ra value of isolation of user solutions HERE.
- Synthesia Guide for constructive solutions with Polyurethane in addition to calculating the U and verifying compliance with DB-HE1 of the CTE, it makes a calculation of interstitial condensations. You have the materials database of the Catalog of Constructive Elements HERE.
Note: In case anyone is confused, the U-value describes the heat loss per square meter in relation to the difference in temperatures between the interior and exterior. The U value or transmission coefficient [W / m2K] is used in the calculation of thermal energy. It is used when you want to know the loss or gain of heat within buildings and thermal installations. The U-value of an element, insulation or any other construction of a building is the relationship that exists between the density of the heat flux and the difference in temperatures between the interior and exterior of the building.
An example would be about exterior carpentry, when we look for windows for our house, we must look at the U value of it, and let's not forget that the glasses also have a U value, therefore if the U value of the window + glass are low, is that we are on the right track.
