A time-saving tool to help professionals tackle complex
calculations for the design of window systems is being been launched by GEZE
UK.
WinCalc 2.0 is an online specification platform that allows users
to populate design and specification data to identify and plan suitable window
configurations.
The system is intended for architects, architectural ironmongers,
fabricators, M and E (mechanical and electrical) companies and consultants.
It can be used to calculate requirements for both manual and
electric window drives for natural ventilation, smoke and heat extraction, and
SHEVs (smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems) and design the most
appropriate emergency power control unit while incorporating calculations for
cable cross sections and planning.
WinCalc 2.0 can be used on computers or tablet devices and has a
new user interface with advanced calculation options and a shortened
calculation methodology.
It provides a range of information that can be downloaded
including calculation reports, bill of materials and diagrams which can be
saved in pdf format.
Key benefits include:
- performance – it minimises
the volume of data to be calculated and delivers faster results.
- temporary save – WinCalc 2.0
temporarily saves the last project so the next time that it’s opened, the
most recent project can be selected
- flexibility – the system can
be used in different browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome
and Safari.
WinCalc 2.0 is intended only to be used by trained professionals
as the programme is not a replacement for detailed planning.
Said Andy Howland, director of sales and marketing for GEZE UK:
“WinCalc 2.0 offers real advantages to professionals and will take a lot of the
pain out of undertaking calculations for window systems. Its intuitive
operation and speedy navigation delivers faster results and the ability to
download pdf’s in ZIP format is a definite winner.
