CA-SIS software has been developed on PC as a tool for engineering offices in their Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning studies. Based on TRNSYS solver, its major revolutionary characteristics consist of a gradual approach driven by a user friendly graphic interface :
- a first step called « Esquisse » (sketch) is based on a database of past studies.
- a second step called « Projet Sommaire » (basic project) uses library of buildings and HVAC systems.
- in a third step called « Projet détaillé » (detailed project), the user can build his own HVAC solution.
Finally the user will obtain graphic results of consumption, required power, room temperatures,... He will also dispose of a study synthesis giving the general hypothesis made, principal results, etc.... that he might introduce into a technical report presenting his work.
