NABLAHVAC - automated HVAC analysis software

An indoor ambient simulation is useful to quantitatively assess the performance of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and predict the air flows needed for optimal comfort in any season. Hence, it is possible to reduce energy consumption, simulate air purification, enhance thermal comfort, and optimise HVAC configurations, especially when different system solutions are integrated in the same building.
