hemisphere and conditions north of the arctic circle where the sun shines 24 hours a day in the summer and it is dark in
the winter. StruSoft-BESTEST was developed because other international test methods did not cover these conditions.
To qualify for these tests, the software has to use dynamic calculation methods.
More than 20 years of research and commercial use of the VIP-Energy technology clearly indicate that a more detailed
model gives better accuracy. When using VIP-Energy in the early design phase, the building is broken into component
groups, and each of them analyzed separately. Every part of every calculation model in VIP-Energy has also been
verified against real buildings under real usage.
