How does ecoline work?

Perfect documentation of building-geometry for the energy certification process

1. The heated gross volume:

Ecoline proceeds from the volumetry. Thereby the exact heated gross-volume is determined with ARCHline.Xp functions, by defining individual zones as heated or unheated. This enables to determine (according to the Austrian Standard ÖNORM B 1800) the heated case for any form of building, also for all conceivable outlier, like dormers in various forms, lavish roof-blends, round elements, and so on.

2. The gross-dimensioning of the heated case:

For the energy-certification the exact gross-dimensioning of the heated (conditioned) case is needed. System boundaries of the heated case are the outer-air, soil, various unheated parts of the building like the hallway, garage, attic and adjacent heated parts of buildings like neighbouring buildings. The exact heated case can be determined comprehensible with detailed documentation. s, lavish roof-blends, round elements, and so on.

3. The comprehensible documentation of the individual areas:

Ecoline delivers detailed and comprehensive documentation of individual areas which are the required input data for the building physics software Ecotech TREND.
Select walls in Ecotech TREND - and you will see at a glance – highlighted in blue – the exact positioning of the walls in the architectional plan in ARCHline.XP.

4. The efficient allocation of component types:

In the ECOLINE surface you assign all components of the ECOTECH component catalogue with all the building physics and building ecology parameters (U-value, OI3 index, mass storage, sound insulation) of the geometry to the actual plan from the ARCHline.XP function.

5. The seamless display of all relevant parameters, energy indices and building ecological information as well as energy certificates:

Now everything is ready for the calculation and presentation of energetical parameters, the energy certificate as well as the realization of the building-biology energy certificate. Later one describes human soft factors (well being, indoor climate) and the sustainability of your building. All this commenceswWithout further work, without loss of time, repeatable anytime, in all stages of planning.

Ecoline guarantees tremendous time savings in the determination of the building geometry! In all types of buildings, from a single family home up to a huge project:
