KOALAflx
K-value Optimization & Advanced Layer Analysis
Thermal Analysis of Building Assemblies
Koala can be used as a standalone cross-platform app that allows construction entry with a table form. It also offers a Rhino plugin that supports full 3D heat transfer analysis.
Tool For Advanced Construction Assembly Thermal Analysis
3D Heat Transfer in Rhino3d
Koala for Rhino supports full 3D heat transfer analysis by modeling volume blocks with assigned materials.
-->
Material Management
Robust built-in library of standard materials. Create custom libraries, import/export JSON, and manage distinct properties.
U-Value Calculation
Compute U-values that take into account the thermal bridging effect in inhomogeneous constructions and export equivalent homogenious construction to EnergyPlus IDF.
-->
Dynamic Analysis
ISO 13786 compliant dynamic solver. Calculate decrement factor, phase shift, and thermal admittance for time-dependent response.
Temperature Gradient Mapping
Visualize temperature distribution to identify thermal weak points to facilitate thermal bridging mitigation.
-->
Heat Flux Mapping
Visualize heat flux through your construction assembly components
Condensation Risk Analysis
Perform a 2D condensation risk assessment and understand where moisture issues could arise.
