OIBESA is a company that develops engineering software tools related to building energy performance, insulation systems, and thermal resistance calculations.
Our tools are useful for engineers, architects, researchers, consultants, building designers, insulation manufacturers, contractors, and organizations interested in improving building energy efficiency.
OIBESA provides software tools that help users evaluate building thermal performance, including reflective airspace thermal resistance and attic thermal performance calculations.
The ART tool is designed to calculate the thermal resistance of reflective airspaces. It helps users estimate the R-value of airspaces based on important parameters such as airspace size, direction of heat flow, surface emissivity, temperature conditions, and orientation.
The ATRC tool is designed to calculate the thermal resistance in enclosed reflective airspaces for a wide range of building applications, based on standardized North American labeling conditions.
Yes. OIBESA tools are designed to be user-friendly while still being based on engineering and scientific principles. The tools are intended to help users obtain results quickly and clearly.
Basic knowledge of building systems, insulation, and thermal performance is helpful. However, the tools are designed with a clear interface and user guidance to make them accessible to a wide range of users.
Yes. The tools can support better decisions related to insulation, reflective systems, and building envelope performance, which can help reduce energy use and improve comfort.
Yes. OIBESA tools are suitable for research, engineering studies, professional analysis, and practical building design support.
Users can purchase a license through the OIBESA website. After purchase, an account or license can be created to access the tools.
Yes. OIBESA supports international payment options, allowing users from different countries to purchase licenses.
Yes. A user manual is available on the website to help users understand how to use the tools and interpret the results.
Yes. Users can contact OIBESA for support related to tool access, licensing, and general use of the software.
OIBESA tools can support engineering evaluation and energy-efficiency analysis. However, users should always verify final designs according to the applicable local building codes, standards, and professional requirements.
