Free simulation tool for estimations of solar thermal plant production, cost and greenhouse gas emission saved.
Three applications are available: domestic hot water, domestic hot water and heating, swimming pool.
The software also provides similarly simulations for photovoltaic and passive solar potential.

Input data are:
- Geographical location (46 French cities available)
- Solar system characteristics (orientation, inclination, albedo, area, thermal coefficients, etc.)
- Storage and heat exchanger efficiency
- Needs (hot water volume, temperature, etc.)
- Initial costs, subsidies, maintenance, energy cost of the auxiliary system, lifetime of the plant

Output data are:
- For each month: energy received, air and water temperatures, energy needs, solar energy production, solar energy share
- Economical estimations
- CO2 emissions saved

Ce logiciel à vocation essentiellement pédagogique a été développé par INES Education pour permettre :
- d’effectuer des évaluations simplifiées d’installations utilisant l’énergie solaire,
- de fournir une estimation des avantages énergétiques, économiques et environnementaux de celles-ci
- de comparer l’influence des variations des paramètres principaux (ensoleillement, surface des capteurs, montage financier…)

CityCooling is a feasibility study of alternative recooling concepts for central large absorption chillers systems.

The target was the development of intelligent district cooling transfer concepts and alternative recooling concepts for the implementation of energy efficient and future-oriented cooling systems at the example Town Town.

CityCooling ist eine Machbarkeitsstudie zur alternativen Rückkühlung von zentralen Groß-Absorptionskälteanlagen.

Ziel war die Entwicklung intelligenter Fernkälteübergabe- und alternativer Rückkühlkonzepte zur Implementierung eines effizienten, zukunfts orientierten Kühlsystems am Fallbeispiel TownTown auf der Kältebereitstellungs- und der Kälteverteilungsseite.

Establish high-standard educational structure for heat generation technologies.

Within the framework of the cross-national project EARTH, possibilities of education in thermal solar energy, heat pumps and biomass are created or extended in the participating
countries.

Schaffung von qualitativ hochwertiger Ausbildungsstruktur
für Technologien zur Wärmeerzeugung.

Im Rahmen des länderübergreifenden Projekts EARTH werden die in den beteiligten Ländern bisher kaum vorhandenen Ausbildungs möglichkeiten in den Gebieten Thermische Solarenergie, Wärmepumpen und Biomasse geschaffen bzw. ausgebaut.

The ENERGYbase building serves as a best practice example for office and commercial buildings and is designed to promote the implementation and dissemination of the technologies used.
The primary energy consumption of 45 kilowatt hours/m2/year will be only a sixth of that of a conventional office building.
arsenal research supports the design process through thermal simulations, CFD simulations and monitoring and
provides input and advice in the field of renewable energy
Customer benefit

Das ENERGYbase dient als „Best Practice“-Beispiel für Büro- und Gewerbegebäude und soll die Umsetzung und Verbreitung der eingesetzten Technologien fördern.
Der Primärenergiebedarf soll mit 45 Kilowattstunden/m2/Jahr nur ein Sechstel des Bedarfs eines Standardbürogebäudes betragen.
arsenal research unterstützt die Planungs arbeiten durch thermische Simulationen, CFD-Simulationen und Monitoring und liefert darüber hinaus Input und Beratung in Sachen erneuerbare Energie.

The project EU-CERT.HP aims to provide a common training and certification methodology, which will support the creation of a high level heat pump installer workforce, who designs and installs faultless and efficient small-scale heat pump systems
throughout Europe.
