Heat calculation

What is meant by Heat calculation?

"Heat calculation" refers to the process of calculating and analyzing heat flows and thermal properties in various systems, buildings, or machinery. The goal is to understand thermal behavior to design efficient heating and cooling systems and maximize energy efficiency.

Typical software functions in the area of "Heat Calculation":

1. Geometry Modeling:

   • Creation of 2D or 3D models of buildings, rooms, or facilities to visualize geometric structures.

2. Heat Transfer Calculations:

   • Calculation of heat transfer through walls, windows, roofs, and other building elements considering materials and insulation thicknesses.

3. Thermal Load Calculations:

   • Determination of required heating and cooling capacity based on building parameters such as room size, usage, heat transfer coefficients, etc.

4. Simulations and Analysis:

   • Conducting dynamic simulations to analyze thermal behavior over a defined period considering weather data and internal loads.

5. Energy Efficiency Assessment:

   • Evaluation of building or system energy efficiency under various operating conditions and usage profiles.

6. Reporting and Documentation:

   • Generation of detailed reports including calculation results, charts, graphics, and optimization recommendations.

7. Standards and Regulations:

   • Compliance with national and international standards and regulations for thermal calculations and energy efficiency.

8. Integration with CAD/BIM:

   • Integration of heat calculation data into CAD or BIM software for seamless integration with the building or facility model.

Examples of "Heat Calculation":
