Recently the European Commission launched a public consultation on the recasting of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2002/91/EC), which closed on 20 June 2008. The building sector accounts for 40% of the EU’s energy requirements. It offers the largest single potential for energy efficiency. Research shows that more than one-fifth of the present energy consumption, and up to 30 to 45 million tons of carbon dioxide/year, could be saved by applying more ambitious standards to new build, and when refurbishing existing buildings – which represents a considerable contribution to meeting the Kyoto Protocol targets.
Within this new framework, FineHVAC is being extended to meet these new needs. For this reason the heating load application now includes also the EN12831 standard, while another major extension has to do with the incorporation of ISO 13790:2008.
Conclusions
FineHVAC makes true the dream of any HVAC designer to automatically obtain the case study results directly from the project drawings through a really friendly, fast and reliable process. FineHVAC gives the opportunity for users to examine, in a very easy and fast way, various design alternatives in order to achieve optimal solutions. The fact that FineHVAC advances both the speed of designing and the quality of the end project proves that the program redefines the competitive standards in the HVAC design industry. Much more than an HVAC software application, FineHVAC is a sophisticated tool for green building design.
