We invite engineers and architects to try our software for free and provide feedback.
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.
With Vabi Elements Building Simulation Energy & Costs, you can effectively predict and manage actual energy consumption. This extension module is included with our core simulation software, empowering you to make informed decisions about energy usage and efficiency.
Account for Energy Performance
Using internationally recognized energy assessment methodologies, Vabi allows you to deliver a simplified energy evaluation that meets industry standards. The simulation accounts for real-life conditions and user behavior, including non-building-related energy consumption like catering and outdoor lighting. This ensures reliable energy performance metrics without the “Performance Gap.”
Shorter Payback Period Through Productivity
Vabi Elements Building Simulation highlights the benefits of sustainable investments while improving comfort. Investing in sustainability that boosts occupant comfort can significantly reduce the payback period.
Vabi Elements Building Simulation allows you to accurately predict both comfort levels and energy consumption in real-world scenarios. By offering deep insights into a building's performance alongside financial considerations, it helps you make well-informed decisions. The software enables you to seamlessly balance architectural features, technical installations, environmental conditions, and user behavior, ensuring the best possible guidance for building optimization.
Vabi Elements Building Simulation is known for its accuracy, particularly due to its ability to determine productivity and comfort at any location within the building. Its reliability and up-to-date information make Vabi Building Simulation a standard requirement in specifications.
