CasaSol (Thermal Dynamic Simulations)

This is the original soware environment that can be used to evaluate the passive design strategies and the ac ve systems (technical systems for hea ng, cooling and ven la on). Strategies can be evaluated by using benchmark comparisons.


CasaSolEcol

This software can calculate the physical properties of the building construction and it estimates the Green House Gas emission for building construction. The building construction of the envelope can be defined. The tool provides information about the heat flow and the moisture control of the construction.

It estimates the environmental impact of the building construction by calculating the CO2 emission for building construction and opera on. The Life Cycle Assessment LCA of the project is compared to conventional construction types.

It is recommended to use this version in assignment 5+6. In A527 please use CasaSolEco/1CasaSol_EcoL__IP

CasaSol Econ

The software focuses of the economic aspects of the building. The initial and opera on cost of the building construction is estimated. The result compares the Life Cycle Cost of the project to a conventional building construction. It is recommended to use this version in assignment 7. In A527 please use CasaSolEco/1CasaSol_EcoN__IP

CasaSol (Classic)

This is the classic version of the CasaSol software. It provides recommendations and benchmark comparisons for the passive design strategies. It does not include economic evaluations. It is recommended to use this version in assignment 2. In A527 please use CasaSolEco/1CasaSol_IP
