EINSTEIN software tool | Training courses on how to use the tool

The continuous increase of fuel and gas costs leads to higher production costs in all industry sectors. Reducing the energy demand and replacing fossil fuels by renewable energy sources is the best way to strengthen the competitiveness of companies.

The EINSTEIN project provides a thermal audit for companies for energy cost reduction.

EINSTEIN guides companies on that way towards an efficient and sustainable production process. EINSTEIN is a methodology that works out energy efficient solutions for production process based on renewable energy sources. This will lead to a significant reduction of operating costs.

EINSTEIN proposes a standardised methodology for fast high quality thermal energy audits. EINSTEIN works out energy efficient solutions based on energy saving and renewable energy sources thanks to an intelligent and comprehensive supporting software tool. The EINSTEIN tool-kit includes a software tool with decision aids and guidelines to support the user through the whole assessment procedure from auditing (preparation of visit and data acquisition), over data processing, to the elaboration, design and quantitative (energetic and economic) evaluation of potential saving alternatives. The core of the EINSTEIN software tool is now available for download by clicking on the link.

In order to ensure a wide impact on energy and costs reduction through EINSTEIN, training courses on how to use the EINSTEIN tool-kit will be organized in 6 countries: Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Slovenia and Spain.

The EINSTEIN project started in September 2007 and is supported by the European Commission under the Intelligent Energy - Europe Programme.
