Reliable and updated
Cost data bases and numerical models are continuously updated to provide you the best retrofitting plan for your building.
Fast and robust
Get your results in less than 48 h. Exploration of more than 700 passive combinations and all possible space heating and cooling systems.
The REHIB Project
The REHIB project (Renewable Energies in Historical Buildings) is funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant No 712949 (TECNIOspring PLUS) and from the Agency for Business Competitiveness of the Government of Catalonia.
A decision-making tool has been developed to provide optimized selection of passive actuations and active technologies to architects and engineers in the first steps of a retrofitting process.
The proposed passive and active solutions considers legal, cultural, heritage conservation, and technical limitations, as well as cost of investment or other economic limitations.
The project has a duration of 2 years (2018 to 2020) and is led by University of Lleida with the collaboration of the University of Perugia, BR29 arquitectes and E3G.

Guidance to generate .idf file of your project:
You can directly use open studio software (https://www.openstudio.net/downloads) to draw your building and define the different thermal zones. Please check:
- Tutorial about how to install openstudio at www.youtube…
- Tutorial about how to create the idf at: www.youtube …
You can draw your building using Google Sketch-up (https://www.sketchup.com/download/all) and use the extension warehouse to download open-studio plug in or Euclid plug-in (https://download.bigladdersoftware.com/?ref=euclid-latest-rbz). To define the thermal zones and generate idf files.

Here we will add or the link to download the app, or the link to our server with the template for
inputs so clients (architects or engineers) can upload the info.
