ClimaWin is a comprehensive software suite developed by BBS Logiciels specifically for thermal and environmental calculations in the building sector. It is a standard tool used by thermal design offices and architects in France to ensure compliance with national building regulations. Core Functionalities
ClimaWin provides a centralized platform for various regulatory and technical assessments:
RE2020 & RT2012 Compliance: The software is used to perform mandatory calculations for the current French environmental regulation (RE2020) and the previous thermal regulation (RT2012), including the generation of mandatory PC deposit certificates.
DPE (Energy Performance Certificates): It includes modules for the 2021 DPE method, allowing for energy audits of houses, apartments, and entire buildings.
Thermal Loads & Losses: Users can calculate heating and cooling loads following standards like NF EN 12831, as well as heat loss (déperditions) and internal heat gain. bbs climawin
Dynamic Energy Simulation (SED): It allows for more complex modeling to predict building energy consumption and comfort levels throughout the year.
ClimaBIM Integration: A dedicated plugin for Revit, called ClimaBIM, enables real-time thermal calculations directly within the BIM interface. Key Workflow Features
Building Tree Structure: Projects are organized through a hierarchical "tree" where users define buildings, usage zones, and specific rooms.
Component Catalogs: The software includes built-in catalogs for administrative data, construction materials, and HVAC systems (generation, emission, and ventilation). ClimaWin is a comprehensive software suite developed by
Data Import: It supports importing data via BIM, CAD, or other databases to reduce manual entry. Learning Resources BBS Logiciels provides several self-help tools for users:
Video Tutorials: A dedicated YouTube channel offers step-by-step guides for creating studies and managing the system catalog.
Knowledge Base: An online FAQ and documentation center provides answers to regulatory and technical calculation questions.
Example Projects: Downloadable sample files are available to help new users familiarize themselves with data entry for RE2020 or DPE projects. Typical Architecture
