Frequently Asked Questions

Here you can find the most frequently asked questions

َWhat is OIBESA?

OIBESA is a company that develops engineering software tools related to building energy performance, insulation systems, and thermal resistance calculations.

Who can use OIBESA tools?

Our tools are useful for engineers, architects, researchers, consultants, building designers, insulation manufacturers, contractors, and organizations interested in improving building energy efficiency.

What type of tools does OIBESA provide?

OIBESA provides software tools that help users evaluate building thermal performance, including reflective airspace thermal resistance and attic thermal performance calculations.

What is the purpose of the ART tool?

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.

What is the purpose of the ATRC tool?

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.

Are OIBESA tools easy to use?

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.

Do I need advanced technical knowledge to use the tools?

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.

Can OIBESA tools support energy-efficient building design?

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.

Are the tools suitable for research and professional work?

Yes. OIBESA tools are suitable for research, engineering studies, professional analysis, and practical building design support.

How can I get access to OIBESA tools?
