With the online demo version “R.O.S.E.®-light,” we now offer interested first-time users a quick solution for making meaningful predictions about the payback periods of renewable energy systems.
Anyone who wants to quickly compare renewable energy sources such as solar energy, air thermal energy, or geothermal energy with conventional fossil fuel systems for their construction project can now use a free trial version of R.O.S.E.® (Reckoning Of Sustainable Energy Systems). The online calculation tool provides builders, architects, and engineers with concrete comparative data on the economic efficiency, payback periods, and ecological effects of energy solutions, thus providing a sound basis for deciding on the optimal energy system.
Klaus Petraschka: “With R.O.S.E.®, all users are able to determine the exact payback periods of energy systems at the start of any construction project based on the present value method. We were keen to make this important tool for active climate protection in construction projects available in a free demo version. We have now succeeded in doing so.”
Concrete support in early planning phases
In test mode, some features—such as cooling, battery storage, and individual energy prices—are still limited. Nevertheless, even this “light version” already shows how R.O.S.E.® supports well-founded decisions in the early planning phases. Access is available directly via the website—no registration required.
In R.O.S.E.®, for example, subsidies, energy price and interest rate developments are also taken into account in the models in order to be able to make long-term statements. The graphical representation of the amortization allows all energy systems and amortization times to be examined in more detail. This means that right at the start of the planning phase, it is possible to determine very quickly how quickly an alternative energy system will pay for itself.
“Our goal with R.O.S.E.® is not just to create estimates and visions. We want to give planners a concrete opportunity to respond individually to a wide variety of usage requirements and local conditions with tailor-made energy and climate concepts,” Klaus Petraschka
