Chiusure oscuranti 2.2

Chiusure oscuranti is a technical software tool developed by ENEA (the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) to assess the performance of shading closures—such as shutters, blinds, and roller shutters—on building openings. It helps architects, engineers, and energy professionals quantify how these systems affect heat transfer and solar gains throughout the year, supporting informed design decisions and compliance with Italian energy-efficiency requirements.

Key capabilities:

• Evaluates window–shading performance, including additional thermal resistance, corrected U-values, and solar shading effectiveness.
• Accounts for geometry, materials, installation type (internal or external), and typical operating schedules to reflect real-world use.
• Estimates impacts on heating and cooling demand, summer overheating risk, and visual comfort.
• Produces clear, professional outputs suitable for design documentation and incentive-related submissions.
• Uses methodologies consistent with national regulations and reference practices.

Benefits:

• Optimize the selection and configuration of shading devices.
• Streamline compliance documentation.
• Enhance occupant comfort while reducing energy costs.

Ideal for:

• Building energy consultants, architects, engineers, and other professionals involved in façade and envelope design or retrofit projects.

Chiusure oscuranti is developed by ENEA. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 1.2, 2.1 and 2.2. The name of the program executable file is Chiusure_Oscuranti.exe.
