Developed at the Fraunhofer Institute of Building Physics IBP, WUFI® Pro has long been established as the simulation software of choice for evaluating the hygrothermal performance of building envelopes. Released on April 19, the new and improved version 6.0 offers a range of visual and functional improvements.
WUFI® Pro is a one-dimensional hygrothermal simulation tool designed for moisture controls analysis of building components. It takes into account (where appropriate) built-in moisture, driving rain, solar radiation, long-wave radiation, capillary transport and summer condensation. In contrast to conventional static evaluation techniques, which are limited to assessing winter condensation effects, WUFI® Pro dynamically determines the hygrothermal performance of building components under real climate conditions, as required by the DIN EN 15026 standard.
WUFI Pro® 6, the latest version of the WUFI Pro® simulation software, brings the following improvements:
• A new materials database interface with a clearly laid out tree structure, convenient search function and new options for managing user-defined data
• A materials database expanded to include a range of new materials characteristics
• A new climate menu that allows you to pick a location from the globe, performs further analysis on the related climate data file and displays the progression of all the climate elements contained within it
• A user-defined climate database with the option to display your own locations on the map
• A WUFI® graph tool for evaluating results. For the first time, it is possible to directly compare different scenarios in a single view, compare WUFI® Pro (1D) and 2D simulation results and even evaluate conditions for multiple grid elements – including relative humidity. As a result, it is possible to evaluate wooden structures in accordance with the new WTA 6-8 specification allowing a dynamic evaluating of the potential risk of wood rot.
• Improvements for a simplified and more intuitive user handling
• A new, faster and more stable calculation engine
• An interior climate model updated in line with the revised WTA 6-2 guideline. Further updates allowing for free configuration of interior climate models to follow soon via a free update.
• The program surface is now available in thirteen languages (new is the Chinese version). The help functions are available in German, English, Japanese and French.
WUFI Pro 6 is available via our online shop (www.wufi.com -> Online shop), where you can choose from time-limited licenses of either one or ten years in duration.
In order to still benefit from our 20th anniversary campaign, WUFI® Pro 5 users can upgrade to version 6 at the early-upgrade price of €720 instead of €900 until May 20, 2016. The upgrade must be purchased via the existing account linked to your WUFI® Pro 5 license.
