APPLICATIONS – Where RealThermo is used

RealThermo is a measurement method for historic and complex existing buildings. It delivers real thermal data that neither standards nor simulations can represent. The method is relevant for owners, architects, heritage authorities, and engineers who need genuine thermal information before making decisions.

  1. Owners of historic buildings
  2. Many historic buildings have unknown thermal properties, altered components, unclear storage capacity, and unpredictable heat losses.
  3. RealThermo shows how the building actually reacts, how stably it stores heat, where real losses occur, and how sluggish or sensitive the building is.
  4. Benefits: A real basis for decisions about preservation, use, modernization or renovation.
  5. Architects and planners
  6. Planning decisions for historic buildings are often uncertain because reliable inventory data does not exist, standard values do not fit, and simulations do not reflect real-world behavior.
  7. RealThermo delivers real thermal characteristics, real reaction patterns, real loss characteristics and real storage capacity.
  8. Benefit: Planning based on real data instead of assumptions.
  9. heritage authorities
  10. Listed buildings may only be altered minimally. Therefore, it is crucial to know how the building functions thermally and whether any measures are even necessary.
  11. RealThermo provides neutral, scientific measurement data, no recommendations, no planning, and no economic interests.
  12. Benefit: An objective basis for decisions regarding approvals and voting.
  13. Building services engineers (TGA)
  14. For building services engineers, the actual heating load and the actual thermal behavior are crucial.
  15. RealThermo delivers real load profiles, real dynamics patterns, real energy inputs and real temperature profiles.
  16. Benefits: Technical planning based on real operational data.
  17. Municipalities and public buildings
  18. Public buildings often have complex construction histories, changing uses, and unclear thermal properties.
  19. RealThermo enables a neutral assessment of the current state, real data for funding applications and transparent decision-making bases.
  20. Benefits: Secure, transparent decisions regarding public funds.
  21. Insurance companies and appraisers
  22. In cases of damage, moisture problems or thermal abnormalities, RealThermo provides real measurement data, objective reaction patterns and a physical classification by external experts.
  23. Benefits: A clear, reliable basis for expert opinions and assessments.

In short:

RealThermo is used wherever real thermal data is lacking, historical buildings react in a complex way, planning certainty is necessary, or institutional neutrality is important.
