Simulation services

Do you need an expertise on the functionality and durability of your construction or building system?

Are you planning a special application (or change of usage) or does your climate situation differ significantly from the standard? Do you need a verification and confirmation of your construction for special or extreme indoor or outdoor climate conditions?

We, the experienced professionals at Fraunhofer IBP, will carry out the necessary simulations on your behalf, prepare a qualified expert report and support you in all moisture-related questions, e.g. the approval of constructions (in Germany or other countries) – often WUFI® simulations are also requested by the approval authorities to check the moisture behaviour of the building components.

Materials specifications

In situations where WUFI^® simulations require values that are not in the WUFI^® material database, the Fraunhofer IBP offers the possibility to determine the missing values. The Fraunhofer IBP laboratories offer accredited test methods carried out by staff with many years’ experience characterizing materials.

The costs for the determination of the complete spectrum of hygrothermal properties are appox. 4,500 €. For further questions regarding costs and conditions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be delighted to assist you.

Please contact support@wufi.com with more specifics on your needs and for the associated costs.

Commercial products in the database

On average, WUFI^® programs are downloaded 20 times per day, and there have been about 20,000 downloads since 2001. The user base includes everyone from beginning students to experts and experienced planners. These users present an interested and engaged audience that is actively working with the values stored in the WUFI^® materials database.

In addition to the generic materials whose values have been compiled and entered by Fraunhofer IBP staff, The Fraunhofer IBP also offers the opportunity for companies to have their own materials, complete with company/brand names, entered into the database.
