Simulations — the cost question

What does a building simulation cost — and when does it pay off?

Simulations — the cost question

Published · last revised

The most common question we hear: what does a dynamic building simulation cost? The honest answer: it depends on the size and complexity of the project — but in most cases it costs far less than it saves.

In the Quattro project in Rodels, the simulation enabled 30% of the geothermal probes to be saved. At the Schelmer commercial park, the estimated return on investment is 7,100% over 20 years of operation.

The simulation shows its strengths especially with larger buildings, special usage profiles or ambitious energy targets such as MINERGIE-P.

We would be happy to assess for your project whether and how a simulation is worthwhile — free of charge and without obligation.
