TBI-Tools

TBI-App is an easy-to-use insulation self-inspection and reporting tool for anyone who wants to very quickly check and estimate how much energy and money saving potential a technical insulation system has to offer.

TBI-App offers a conservative estimation of the amount of energy a component is losing. In addition, it shows the potential savings if insulated or if an improved insulation system is being installed. The saving estimations are given in a range evaluating the performance of a typical basic and a realistic good insulation system. The estimation methodology is based on:

1. EiiF’s vast TIPCHECK experience: In 2010 the European Industrial Insulation Foundation developed its insulation energy appraisal programme called Technical Insulation Performance Check.

2. Simplified heat transfer formulas taken from the ISO 12241 Standard: Thermal insulation for building equipment and industrial installations – calculation rules.

3. Generic values allowing a conservative estimation like using by default e.g. 0 m/s wind speed and horizontal as the orientation of the system.

TBI-App offers besides the possibility to estimate potential energy and CO2 savings also to report information about safety concerns (e.g. too hot surfaces and fire protection needs, etc.), failures in maintenance (leakages and corrosion detection, etc.) and any other issue that may be relevant to its user.

TBI-App can be used offline. After being installed in the device no internet connection is needed and no data will be transferred to any server. All reports and data are stored solely on the TBI-App device and they can be transferred to your desktop device to be administered with TBI-Software.

TBI-App provides export to PDF. All reports can be exported to PDF and further processed as PDF files.
