  • ALMABuild allows the modelling of a building by means of a series of SIMULINK blocks. Each block can be modified or used as it is.

  • Easy 3D building drawing and definition of thermal zones thanks to the full compatibility with GOOGLE SketchUp!

  • The user is driven by means of a series of GUI (Graphical User Interface) to the definition of each building element!

  • A 3D visualization of each selected building component allows an immediate feedback on the input data!

  • ... ALMABuild creates AUTOMATICALLY a MATLAB structure and a SIMULINK complete model of the building!

  • Detailed local info are available within each thermal zone (i.e. local radiant or operative temperature)

  • ALMABuild has been validated with comparisons with the most popular energy dynamic simulation softwares (i.e.TRNSYS, Energy+)

  • With ALMABuild it is easy to obtain detailed and accurate results on your HVAC system coupled to your building... with a lot of fun!

  • ALMABuild is a result of an Italian National Project with ENEA and MISE
