CompuToolAble Uses a Thermal Analysis App for Building Preservation

Jos van Schijndel, CompuToolAble and Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands

Jos van Schijndel is the founder of Netherlands-based consulting firm CompuToolAble and assistant professor at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, where he specializes in the numerical modeling of the physics that affect building performance. He uses simulation apps with his corporate clients and as a teaching aid.

Apps offer an easy way for an end user who has never used simulation software before or doesn't have the technical background for creating a model to run virtual analyses. In the university setting, apps provide an entry point into numerical analysis and the design of physics-based systems for students.
