I.K.A. Byggkonsult
Sören at I.K.A Byggkonsult does quite a lot of energy declarations and energy calculations. With an emphasis on energy calculations, which he uses BIM Energy for easy, effective, and accurate energy calculations for apartment-complexes and villas. Which his customers then use as basis for their building permit application.
How did you work with energy calculations before BIM Energy? And what is the reason for the change?
I used to have another energy calculation software. The problem was that I didn’t have the opportunity to input values for heat pumps, and I also needed to be able to calculate energy consumption hour by hour.
That’s why I switched to BIM Energy, it has a lot of different varieties of heat pumps to choose between and it also calculates hourly.
What is BIM Energy’s best feature?
The fact that it’s easy to input data, but also that it doesn’t take any time to run your calculations. Also, the possibility to have more flexibility with the building-geometry with the help of the proxy-function, which is something I want to implement more in my future projects.
