ETU Software GmbH software

Photographic building shot with digital cameras or smartphones. Identification of dimensions, including measurements of facades and roofs. Data transfer to ETU PV simulation software. Digital projection of solar panels onto the image of the building, showing what will it look like after installation. Change facade and windows/doors colours with colours from the BRILLUX catalogue. Export building measurements to Excel. Generates a list of elements. Calculation of areas. Drag-and-drop colours onto the image.

The newly developed app SimpleMeasure from ETU Software enables a quick and precise measurement of the building while still on site. Select the photographed area and calibrate it with the help of a grid to determine the layer. Enter one or two known reference dimensions for calibration and measure any area you like. Besides the app, our software PV-simulation helps to digitalize the planning and layout process of a PV-system. In order to cover the roof with the appropriate PV-modules, enter the corresponding widths and heights as well as the distances between the modules. This input enables a manufacturer-neutral working method and reduces the selection from catalogues. Get the result that you and your customer need for example the exact yield calculation, shading areas, or the visualization of the whole PV-system. Facilitate the bid preparation and structure the documentation process.

Manufacturer-independent simulation software for the design and layout of photovoltaic systems. Hourly PV simulation based on local solar irradiation data. Detailed analysis of roof layout, taking into account irradiation angle and roof lights, as well as shading factors such as dormers and chimneys. Dimensioned PV layout design in 3D building model. Virtual simulation of shading factors such as neighbouring trees, buildings etc.. Calculation of multiple roof surfaces in one project. Comprehensive and up-to-date catalogue of PV panels and inverters with extensive filtering options. Financial calculations including return on investment and risk analysis. Virtual projection of the PV panels on digital images of the building/roof (in connection with the ETU Photo Survey Professional software). Editable usage profiles for calculating electricity demand. Fully configurable wiring connections. Integrated quotation module with materials schedule. 

Design and simulation software for the design and optimisation of heat pump systems. Hourly simulation of a building’s thermal behaviour and heating demand; based on building characteristics,usage profiles and local climate conditions (using the VDI 6007 methodology). Calculation of predicted heat pump performance. Calculations incorporating dual-rate electricity. Financial calculations including return on investment. Editable usage profiles for calculating heating and domestic hot water demands. Comparison of air/water heat pumps, water/water heat pumps or ground-source/water heat pumps. Incorporates the provision of electricity by a photovoltaic system to drive the heat pump system. Can include multiple heat pumps, including mixed sources (water/air/ground source). Integration of overflow valves and flow restrictions.Links to PV Simulation software results for combined calculations.
