Household well-being is the result of the harmonious balance among several elements such as healthiness, safety and energy saving. In this context, the microclimate plays a fundamental role, because it is precisely the perception of this microclimate that determines the real level of thermal comfort.
The Diatherm online software for dynamic calculation is the result of the partnership between Diasen and the Department of Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences of the Polytechnic University of the Marche Region.
A research project that has allowed the development of a simple, quick and intuitive online application to realize thermal calculations in accordance with the new dynamic hourly calculation model proposed by the EN ISO 52016-1 standard. The software manages to reproduce, in relation to the climatic conditions of the territory, the consumption and climate conditions of the building in its real use … hour by hour!
Environmental variables are not few. Indeed, it is possible to take in consideration: the air temperature, the possible mold and condensation formation, the type of activities normally carried out inside the home as well as the type of clothing worn and the different thermal sensitivity of each individual. For these reasons, when designing a building, it is important to study adequately the thermal comfort and,at the same time, the surrounding area: because it is from the detailed attention of the local climate that the real energy saving begins. Knowing how to design taking into account the climatic characteristics of each specific environment, means building in a truly sustainable way!
A software created to identify the best technological solution for both summer and winter thermal insulation. An intelligent and immediate tool aimed at the network of designers (engineers, architects and all those who need to perform thermal calculations). The software is suitable for facing, in particular, the problem of the summer overheating. An application that was created to respond to the biggest challenge of today and tomorrow: optimize energy savings and maximize living comfort. All without having to insert a multiplicity of data that are difficult to source and understand.
The analysis of all the parameters and variables that influence the building behavior allow a much more realistic and precise assessment of the global energy balance. The new model considers:
The “Mediterranean Building” model is the synthesis of tradition and innovation in the building construction world, because it combines the quality and the natural raw materials efficiency with the high technological level of the products – the so-called “materials intelligence”. This philosophy fully embraces the challenge of the future for the whole building construction world, that of creating long-lasting buildings in respect of the surrounding environment and human health. The ” Mediterranean Building ” means to protect homes not only from the cold, but also from the heat, ensuring maximum energy savings. Cork represents the excellence icon of this vision, which was born precisely in Western Europe and it is a precious and natural material as well as renewable, sustainable, light and with a very high performance in terms of summer and winter thermal insulation.
