TechCalc 3.0 Online—the next generation of thermal calculation software for technical insulation
With over 30 years of experience in software development, Energieberatungszentrum Süd and ZUB Systems, in collaboration with Saint-Gobain ISOVER, are opening up new perspectives and possibilities with TechCalc 3.0.
Professional, fast, and above all mobile
TechCalc 3.0 is a standard tool for thermal calculations in the field of technical insulation (operational engineering, building services engineering, shipping) – whether in building services engineering, operational engineering, or shipbuilding. TechCalc's calculation methods are based on the latest standards and technical regulations. With its simple, user-friendly interface, the software enables highly complex and detailed calculations. This allows you to achieve extremely reliable results quickly and easily.
Mobile and flexible
TechCalc 3.0 is available as an online version that can be used not only on your desktop, but also conveniently and flexibly on mobile tablets. Calculations can now be performed quickly on the go or directly on the construction site.
Professional and comprehensive
TechCalc 3.0 offers comprehensive support for calculating the cost-effectiveness of efficient insulation systems. Even multi-layer insulation constructions with different insulation products can be optimized according to economic criteria. This makes TechCalc the ideal tool for energy efficiency consulting, recalculating insulation layer thicknesses in tenders, or for project tenders.
Faster and targeted results!
TechCalc 3.0 offers an interface that adapts to the respective user and quickly leads to the desired result. Depending on the area of application (operational technology, building technology, shipping) and the user's experience, it also offers a step-by-step mode: unnecessary information is omitted and the user is only presented with the necessary options and assistance for a quick calculatio
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
TechCalc uses procedures laid down in ISO 12241, and supporting engineering rules such as the VDI 2055, as the basis for its thermal insulation calculations. The software brings together decades of practical experience and offers detailed calculation procedures with an easy-to-use interface covering a full range of different scenarios:
Management and calculation of various components
Heat flow and surface temperature of a planned insulation construction
Required insulation thickness depending on the desired heat flow and/or surface temperature.
Calculation of operating costs, CO2 savings, and payback periods for alternative systems
Comparative calculation and payback period for the calculated insulation measures with up to 4 insulation variants per component
U-value and R-value determination
Minimum insulation layer thickness to prevent surface condensation
Temperature change over time with stationary medium
Temperature change in the longitudinal direction of an insulated pipe or duct line
Moisture accumulation in cooling and refrigeration lines
Method for calculating underground pipes and containers in contact with the ground
Use of subcomponents for different surface areas of containers and tanks
Calculation of internal condensation on ventilation ducts
Calculation and optimization according to energy efficiency classes
Calculation across all diameters for pipesThe free, no-cost version of the program can be used to process up to two components with a reduced range of functions.

Highlights
TechCalc 3.0 offers additional functions and user support. For industrial applications involving certain media, such as steam, all the thermal data required for calculation is determined automatically and accurately by simply entering the temperature and pressure. This eliminates the need for manuals or tables of values.
...even more highlights:
Various options for graphical and text output of results with all calculation data
Internationally applicable with 10 language/country versions
Extensive supporting databases for insulation materials, media, cladding, thermal bridges, and climate data
Open databases: your own products and data can be easily added and managed via catalogs
Import, export, and possible exchange of open databases
Comprehensive: with 13 different calculation methods and 6 standard geometries, almost all insulation situations in technical insulation can be calculated
Standard-compliant calculation according to the rules of DIN EN ISO 12241 (2008/2022), DIN EN ISO 23993 (2008), VDI 2055 (2008), ASTM C 680 (2019/2023), EN 17956, and parts of AGI Q 112.
