Hi Matthias <br>
<br>
How are you?<br>
<br>
Do you really think so about bestafacade "model"? I think it's so over
simplified that it becomes useless. <br>
<br>
I was expecting you to advise the use of TRNSYS...<br>

<br>
you may want to use one of the following two online tools:<br>

<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://designadvisor.mit.edu/">http://designadvisor.mit.edu/</a><br>
<br>
Both should give you a good estimate with respect to energy, daylight
and comfort.<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>
