Swedish building regulations are defined in Boverkets byggregler, BBR. The Standard step is used to provide input related to the active building for the different versions of BBR
It is possible to specify headings to be included in the report from Print options and to print / save the report as PDF. In addition, it is possible to study the results in detail. The user can also export the report to text, so that it can be imported into excel.
Set Compliance Factors Based on Building Type, Energy Carrier, and Location
The permitted levels are different for dwellings (single-family houses and multi-dwelling blocks) and premises.
Primary energy factor (PE)/Weight factor (WF) varies depending on the energy carrier and version of BBR. The pre-defined factors in the application are updated depending on the selected primary heating system in the Heating step. The factors can also be changed manually by the user.
Geographical adjustment factor (F_geo) varies between the building’s geographical location in Sweden. The user can get the factor by searching in a list of Swedish municipalities. If a Swedish municipality is selected as climate file in the Project-step, the same municipality will be used here as default.
Why switch to BIM Energy?
BIM Energy enables quick, accurate analysis of a building’s energy consumption and cost-saving opportunities for both new constructions and renovations. As a cloud-based platform, it offers flexibility to work from any device, whether Windows or Mac, making energy modeling efficient and accessible anywhere.
Energy Metrics & Savings
Bim Energy’s dynamic core calculates the building’s energy balance hourly over a year, factoring in thermal inertia. It enables multiple energy-saving scenarios and provides full ROI analysis, helping you track payment streams and assess long-term financial value.
Easy to Use
Bim Energy offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface with a simple methodology for easy energy analysis. The streamlined workflow simplifies modeling and analyzing energy scenarios in buildings, with no need for energy expertise. Whether you’re a professional or a beginner, the software makes the entire process simple and accessible.
High Accuracy and Time Efficiency
Bim Energy provides greater accuracy than manual calculations with an ASHRAE-140 validated core. It allows detailed energy modeling with climate, materials, HVAC, and heat pump options. The software offers default values and a material catalog, and enables quick building geometry modeling using an online map tool.
