The update of WINSHELTER, free software developed by ENEA in collaboration with the Experimental Glass Station to calculate the thermal, solar and bright windows and doors and solar shading systems, for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency buildings.
After the success of the first version, with over 4 thousand downloads by users of different professional, is now available online (link below) update WINSHELTER software Free calculate the thermal, solar and bright windows and doors and shielding systems Solar, for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency of buildings.
Developed by ENEA in collaboration with the Experimental Glass Station part of the Programme with the Ministry of Economic Development for the Research of Electric System, WINSHELTER (WINdows And Shading Energy Lighting and Thermal Evaluation Routine), it allows you to evaluate the characteristics of what is technically defined as “wrap or transparent system” Building. It is the set of windows, French windows, glass walls, solar screens that play an important role in the energy and environmental performance of the whole structure, impacting significantly on the energy demand and consumption.
“It This is a tool that combines ease of use and accuracy of calculation, a valuable ally to designers, engineers, companies and operators in the sectors fixtures, windows and solar shading – highlights Michael Zinzi, the researcher ENEA Technical Unit Energy Efficiency , responsible for developing the software. WINSHELTER also is useful not only for professional applications, but also for educational . This new version – adds the expert – meets the evolving regulatory framework and technical industry, with particular reference to the new European standard of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings , mandatory from 1 January 2019 for public buildings and from 1 January 2021 for private buildings and financial mechanisms and incentives, such as tax deductions of 65%. “
The 2015 version of the software WINSHELTER, divided into three forms of calculation, has a number of standard database products (eg windows or solar blinds ), provided free of charge by some of the most important associations: Assovetro, EdilegnoArredo, UNICMI-National Union of Industries of the Metalworks casing and frames.
