Featured Projects
Project: Facade Insulation Calculator
Role: Conceived and led by Assoc. Prof. Yurii Kovalenko.
Uteplennya.com lets homeowners and engineers estimate heat loss, select the most cost-effective insulation thickness, and calculate payback periods. Its thermal model fully complies with Ukrainian Standard DSTU 9191:2022.
- Instant calculation of economic efficiency. Enter wall area, heating parameters, and rates — and immediately get a savings forecast, total insulation cost, and payback period for different thicknesses and types of insulation.
- Flexible climate customization. Adjust average monthly outdoor temperatures and the length of the heating season.
- Comparison of materials and wall layers. Add any wall layers with their λ-coefficients to find the optimal combination of price, performance, and payback period.
