The amount of presented information and its easy handling make NESA equally useful for both consulting and education. Examples are given for buildings with passive solar energy use, solar heating systems, systems for heat recovering and buildings with photovoltaic equipment for electricity supply. The program NESA calculates for the described buildings e.g. heat transfer coefficients, detailed monthly energy analysis, heating demand according to the German W rmeschutzverordnung, fuel demand and shading. Maps A survey map shows the sites of the included buildings.
Climatic maps show the geographic distribution of solar radiation and ambient temperature.
The encyclopedia contains headwords related to solar architecture, low energy houses, heating demand and technical equipment for buildings. It includes definitions, equations, units, drawings, descriptions and references. You may test the demo version with all functions of NESA for ten days after installation.
