Optimize Energy and Comfort in Your Building
Evaluate Comfort and Compare Concepts
Understand the comfort levels in your building by evaluating various concepts using advanced methods such as the PMV and EN 16798-1. Vabi Elements Building Simulation is an essential tool compliant with BREEAM standards and meets all quality requirements set by ASHRAE (140).
Comprehensive Support for All Comfort Methods
Our program simulates all energy flows and temperature variations over the course of a year, hour by hour, based on internal heat production and building characteristics. This comprehensive analysis supports various comfort methods and provides multiple output options, including radiant temperature asymmetry, CO₂ levels, and floor temperatures, ensuring thorough insights into your building’s performance.
Productive and Healthy Indoor Climate
When performing heat loss or cooling load calculations, it’s essential to look at comfort within a building. With Vabi Elements Building Simulation, you can gain insight into the actual conditions over an entire year, not just at a single moment. This leads to a deeper understanding of building performance, sharper quotes, and improved installation outcomes, ensuring your projects are efficient and effective.
