Project description
A refurbishment and extension project at Sparkasse Egg focused on complex building structures and a heterogeneous building envelope. To calculate the cooling load and ensure sound planning reliability, a powerful software solution was required that enables both control engineering and practical simulations.
Use of SOLAR-COMPUTER
With the S90 drinking water pipe network calculation and the cooling load calculation tools from SOLAR-COMPUTER, plankraft was able to implement the project requirements efficiently. After just two hours of training, the software was ready for productive use - even for users with basic prior knowledge.
Particularly appreciated:
- Intuitive operability without additional CAD program
- Automated calculation of flushing paths and simple circulation planning
- Manufacturer independence and uncomplicated import of product-specific data records
- Precise pipe dimensioning for planning reliability without oversizing
Result
The SOLAR-COMPUTER tools used provided reliable calculation results and ensured a high level of transparency in the planning. Thanks to the user-friendly simulations, complex building situations could be comprehensibly mapped and safely implemented.
