Try out the software

 

We are delighted to announce the launch of our selection tool, C–RAQUA, which has been designed to perform heat loss calculations for residential properties. This tool provides accurate and reliable assessment of heat loss, helping you to choose the right heat pump for you. Several different factors should be considered when choosing the right heat pump for your home. Our software uses the NF EN 12831-1 standard, which is frequently used as a reference standard in the sector, as well as precise design assumptions to assess your heating requirements and recommend the most appropriate solution.

The advantages provided by our R-AQUA simulator

Accuracy and Reliability

The NF EN 12831-1 standard is recognised for its strict precision when it comes to heat calculations. Our tool uses this standard as a basis for analysing a wide range of parameters in your home, including its surface, insulation and the climate conditions found in your region. Using this data, it estimates the power that the heat pump will need in order to ensure maximum comfort throughout the year.

We provide highly accurate results while also offering ease of use through a responsive user-friendly interface. As a result, it can be used to carry out in-depth heat loss calculations quickly and effectively.  By using our heat simulation tool, you can choose the heat pump that best meets your heating needs while also making significant energy savings.

Our tool does not replace the accuracy provided by specialist heat loss calculation software, and does not take into account certain factors that are specific to certain types of housing (such as party walls, housing orientation, roof pitch, etc.). We recommend that you use our tool as a first step before having a more in-depth analysis provided by an export.

Financial simulation

By using our heat simulation tool, you can choose the heat pump that best meets your heating needs while also making significant energy savings. As well as helping you to choose a suitable heat pump for your housing, our tool simulates the potential savings you could make, depending on the energy source(s) you currently use.

It uses your input data and relevant design assumptions to estimate the potential savings you could make by switching to a heat pump. While these figures do not guarantee the exact amount of the savings, they provide a realistic idea of the long-term financial benefits of choosing a heat pump.

Expert advice

If you have any questions or concerns about the results our tool provides, our team of heating experts is here to help. We are available to provide you with personally tailored advice and to help you choose the right heat pump for you. Our objective is to help you to take an informed decision and get the most out of your investment in heating.

Your frequently asked questions

Our tool uses the NF EN 12831-1 standard, which is recognised for its strict precision when it comes to heat calculations.

The NF EN 12831-1 is a standard that is frequently used as a reference in heat calculations. It provides guidelines for determining a building’s heating needs based on a wide range of attributes including size, insulation and climate conditions.

Our tool uses the NF EN 12831-1 standard to analyse the characteristics of your housing. It considers data including the size and insulation level of your housing, as well as the local climate conditions to estimate the power needed by the heat pump.

Our tool provides an accurate estimation based on a simplified calculation model. However, it does not consider certain specific factors, such as whether or not a house is terraced, its orientation or its roof pitch. For a more in-depth analysis, we recommend consulting an expert.

While our tool provides an accurate estimation, it is not a replacement for specialist heat loss calculation software. It includes simplified assumptions and does not consider certain specific features of your housing.

The tool analyses the size of your housing, its insulation level, the climate conditions found in your region and other relevant features for estimating the power the heat pump will require.

No, our tool provide an accurate estimation based on simplified assumptions. For more precise results, we recommend carrying out a more in-depth analysis with the support of an expert.

The latest version includes significant improvements, such as the extension of the construction periods that the software takes into consideration, as well as further fine-tuning of the calculations for thermal renovation.

Yes, our tool can be used for renovation projects. It takes thermal upgrades into account, such as insulation or replacing windows with double or triple glazing.

The tool uses your input data and relevant design assumptions to estimate the potential savings you could make by switching to a heat pump. The results are an estimation and there is no guarantee that the savings will total that exact amount.

If you have any concerns about the results, we recommend that you consult a heating expert for a more in-depth analysis. Our team is also available for personally tailored advice.

The service life of a heat pump depends on several factors, including whether it was installed properly, whether it is regularly maintained and the conditions under which it is used. In general, a well maintained heat pump can last for 15 to 20 years.

A heat pump must be installed by a qualified professional in order to ensure optimum performance, as well as compliance with current regulations.

Our tool focusses on which heat pump to choose and on estimating energy cost savings. Installation costs should be assessed separately with the support of a professional installer.

A wide range of financial support and government incentives are available to help you install a heat pump, including tax credits and grants. Please contact local authorities or our team for more information.

Regular maintenance is essential in order to ensure that your heat pump is working properly and will have a long service life. We recommend contacting a professional for an annual service.

Our tool has been designed for a wide range of housing types, but some specific configurations may require in-depth analysis by an expert.

Our specialist heating team is available to provide you with personally tailored advice and to help you choose the right heat pump for you.
