• ...

Optimus Duo

The Optimus* Duo program helps with the hydraulic balancing of retro-fit central heating systems. It is a must when renovating or expanding existing heating systems.

*The OPTIMUS methodology for hydraulic balancing of existing central heating systems was developed by ‘Ostfalia – Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften - FH Braunschweig/Wolfenbüttel’ under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dieter Wolff. See also:http://www.optimus-online.de

Building Simulation

The software simulates the thermal behaviour of a building at an hourly resolution. Accurate information about the behaviour of a building at any desired point in time can be calculated from the detailed building characteristics, usage profiles and location-specific climate data.
