E4R energy rehabilitation tool
Powerful app or simulatorE4R energy rehabilitation tool in the evaluation of energy efficiency of buildings. As they very well say on the E4R portal … "It is a European project that aims to promote and promote the energy renovation of buildings within southwestern Europe, through the implementation of practical tools that help to establish both energy efficient criteria as economically. "
The promoter of the energy efficiency tool is the body SUDOE is a Territorial Cooperation program of the Southwest European Area (SUDOE) that supports regional development through the co-financing of transnational projects through the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund).
As a result of this objective, we are faced with a E4R application or tool in easy-to-use energy rehabilitation in the face of the energy evolution of a building and its possible proposals for improvement in rehabilitation.
Although apparently the tool seems like a “toy”, let's not fool ourselves that the results are more than acceptable and convincing, placing emphasis on a visual result, which is specified in an explanatory report for both the consumer or potential client and the Technician with specific data and offered in a clear way, where in addition to other results we can identify the savings obtained -economically-given the improvement measures implemented in a rehabilitation.
It should be noted that the application has access for "user" with data entry in a simpler or "professional" format where more parameters can be defined.
In the course of obtaining the data using the E4R simulator, the energy rehabilitation tool, we find different points that are worthwhile:
3D vision of the Building based on data extracted from the cadastre, both manually and automatically in the definition of shadows. Surprise!
Definition of the construction elements and facilities both in a "standard" way or manually, determining the thermal transmittance with more reliability. It also offers an extensive library.
Results distributed by months of the year in Heating, Refrigeration, Lighting and DHW. Consider that at this point the calculation generator in the results "takes a while" but it is worth the wait if it ends up working.
I want to clarify, for your knowledge, that of several tests carried out, only "one" I have obtained the results and the Report, in the others in the results section, in the generation of the calculations has been blocked giving an error. I have made a query to the portal to see what they think of such a situation although my computer is the one that gives problems…. Can you try to see what happens and tell the result?
Access to the application… HERE
Access to the portal … HERE There is a fairly explanatory video available.
Note: We are sorry but the project has been closed.
