Modeling Construction Systems
Modeling Construction Systems
Carbonz allows you to build a library of construction systems or macro-components for any ACV lot, which you can create using a powerful online configurator that guides you in combining different layers or sub-assemblies of your system.
It enables:
- Modeling construction elements
- Calculating the thermal and environmental data of your system
- Building a database of construction systems placed in the materials library
The Configurator in action:
You describe each layer of the system from the outside in, specifying the desired materials and frames:
The system handles all types of frames and all possible wall combinations, performing numerical modeling as you design:
The Carbonz configurator calculates all properties of your system in real-time:
- • Environmental calculations: greenhouse gases, gray energy, water consumption, air and water pollution, waste eliminated, etc.
- Thermal calculations: surface resistance, thermal resistance, thermal losses, heat transfer.
You can visualize all thermal data on the total composition of the wall, as well as by layers:
All technical properties of the system are calculated, such as thermal diffusivity, thermal effusivity, phase shift, and material resistance to vapor diffusion according to the Glaser method:
Or even the dew point:
The constructed construction systems are placed in your materials library, ready to be associated with your project elements and simulate their impact for the project. The Comparator tool will also allow easy comparison and optimization of these systems.
