HottCAD-Simulation

HottCAD-Simulation is a brand new software solution aimed at professional building services engineers and HVAC specialists designing advanced climate systems using renewable energy. It allows the user to analyse the interplay between the different system components (PV, HP, CHP) in various conditions leading to accurate sizing of the system’s components. HottCAD-Simulation combines functionality from several ETU simulation solutions in a single comprehensive and integrated suite.

Basic function

• Heat pumps
• Photovoltaic systems
• CHP (combined heat and power)
• Conventional oil/gas/biomass boilers as a primary or secondary heating system
• Dynamic building simulation
• Buffer storage for heat and/or electricity
• Simulation of the energy demand of a room or building at an hourly resolution; based on usage profiles, heat loss assessment, internal heat gains and climate conditions
• Financial calculations including return on investment
• A comprehensive 3D CAD tool which can read in (scanned paper) floor plans, DWG, DXF or IFC drawings
• An extensive building materials and (renewable energy) equipment database
• Data exchange interface with other ETU solutions for e.g. hydraulic balancing of central heating systems, pipework layout and underfloor heating systems
