THERMAL ANALYSIS AND THE ADMITTANCE METHOD

As in many aspects of life, no single solution is entirely suited to every conceivable problem. So it is with thermal analysis there are quite a few methods or solutions out there, but each have their own set of advantages and disadvantages that make them suitable to some situations and less so for others. Thus, whilst Ecotect uses the CIBSE Admittance Method for its internal thermal analysis, it encourages you export your Ecotect model directly to a range of other thermal analysis tools such as EnergyPlus, ESP-r and HTB2 to essentially get a second opinion and compare results.
